U.S.-Japan Joint Seminar: High-Pressure Research in Mineral Physics--Application to the Study of the Earth and PlanetaryInteriors/January 1991/Ise, Japan

该奖项将支持6名美国科学家参加美日矿物物理高压研究联合研讨会。与会者将讨论和交流关于地球和行星材料的物理化学性质的跨学科研究的最新实验和理论结果，并将考虑这些结果对地球和其他行星内部条件的影响。议程包括审议目前最先进的超高压和高温技术及其地球物理和地球化学应用所取得的进展。研讨会的共同组织者是夏威夷大学马诺阿分校夏威夷地球物理研究所的Murli H.Manghnani博士和日本仙台东北大学材料研究所的Yasuhiko Syono博士。研讨会将于1991年1月15日至18日在日本三根伊势市举行，由美日合作科学计划赞助。矿物物理学是研究地球和行星材料的科学。近年来，美国和日本在矿物物理的高压研究方面取得了重大进展，特别是在超高压和温度技术在与地球和行星内部有关的地球化学和地球物理研究中的应用方面。现在，在与地幔和地核以及主要行星内部外部相同的温度和压力条件下进行实验是可能的。这次研讨会将为一些美国和日本的科学家以及一些活跃在这一领域的其他国家的研究人员提供机会，就这一主题交流想法和信息，并促进未来可能的联合研究项目。

This award will support the participation of six U.S. scientists in a U.S.-Japan joint seminar on high-pressure research in mineral physics. Participants will discuss and exchange the latest experimental and theoretical results in interdisciplinary research on the physical and chemical properties of Earth and planetary materials, and will consider the implications of these results to conditions in the interior of the Earth and other planets. The agenda includes consideration of progress made with current state-of-the-art ultrahigh pressure and temperature techniques and their geophysical and geochemical applications. Seminar co-organizers are Dr. Murli H. Manghnani, Hawaii Institute of Geophysics, University of Hawaii at Manoa, and Dr. Yasuhiko Syono, Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan. The seminar will take place January 15-18, 1991, in Ise, Mie-ken, Japan, under the auspices of the U.S.-Japan Cooperative Science Program. Mineral physics is the scientific study of Earth and planetary materials. Significant advances have been made recently in high-pressure research in mineral physics in the U.S. and Japan, particularly in the applications of ultrahigh pressure and temperature techniques to geochemical and geophysical studies related to the Earth and planetary interiors. It is now possible to conduct experiments under temperature and pressure conditions equaling those in the Earth's mantle and core, and in the outer portions of the interiors of the major planets. This seminar will provide an opportunity for a number of U.S. and Japanese scientists, as well as a few researchers from other countries who are active in this area, to exchange ideas and information on the subject, and to promote possible future joint research projects.
