Travel Support for U.S. Scientists in Activities of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) and the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS)

随着科学工作继续变得更加全球化，越来越重要的是，美国科学家在其职业生涯的早期阶段有机会参与并为重大国际合作活动做出贡献。 出于同样的原因，美国科学家在促进这类活动的组织中担任领导职务时也应该得到协助。 该奖项将提供支持，以帮助早期职业科学家参加国际大地测量与地球物理联合会（IUGG）六个联盟的大会，并将支持美国科学家担任国际地质科学联合会（IUGS）高级官员的工作。 为帮助美国早期职业科学家参加国际大地测量联合会的六次会议，将提供支持：国际大地测量学协会（IAG）的科学大会;国际地磁学和高层大气物理学协会（IAGA）的第八次科学大会;国际水文科学协会（IAHS）的第五次科学大会;国际气象学和大气科学协会（气象学协会）和国际海洋物理科学协会（采购处）联合大会;国际地震学和地球内部物理学协会（地震学和地球内部物理学协会）第29届大会;以及国际火山学和地球内部化学协会（IAVCEI）大会。 已经为所有六个大会制定了重要的科学议程，并制定了一个甄选程序，允许合格的早期职业科学家之间进行公开竞争，并公平和及时地挑选资金接受者。 通过参加这些会议，美国科学家将有机会在重大国际合作活动中更有效地将他们自己和他们的机构联系起来。 此外，美国将通过为该重要国际组织的高级官员Robin Brett博士提供与国际地质科学联合会有关的一些国际旅行支助，保持其在国际地质科学联合会活动中的领导地位。

As scientific efforts continue to become more global in character, it is increasingly important that U.S. scientists at early stages of their professional careers be given the opportunity to participate in and contribute to major international cooperative activities. For similar reasons, U.S. scientists should be assisted when they assume leadership positions in the organizations that facilitate such activities. This award will provide support to assist early-career scientists to participate in assemblies of six unions of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), and it will support the work of a U.S. scientists serving as a senior official in the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS). The six IUGG-related meeting for which support will provided to assist in the participation of early-career U.S. scientists are: a Scientific Assembly of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG); the 8th Scientific Assembly of the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA); the 5th Scientific Assembly of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS); a Joint Assembly of the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences (IAMAS) and the International Association for the Physical Sciences of the Ocean (IAPSO); the 29th General Assembly of the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior (IASPEI); and a General Assembly of the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI). Thoughtful scientific agendas have been developed for all six of these assemblies, and a selection process has been developed that should permit an open competition among eligible early-career scientists as well as fair and timely selection of funding recipients. Through their participation in these meetings, U.S. scientists will have the opportunity to more effectively link themselves and their institutions in major international collaborative activities. Furthermore, U.S. leadership in IUGS activities will be maintained through the provision of support for some IUGS-related international travel for Dr. Robin Brett, a senior official of that important international organization.
