CSEDI/Chapman Conference: The History and Dynamics of Global Plate Motions

9629072理查兹国际和平研究所建议举行一次跨学科的查普曼会议，聚集80-100名科学家和学生，专注于识别和解决板块构造和地幔动力学的基本问题。地球动力学建模和地球内部地震成像的最新进展为将板块运动历史知识与这些新结果相结合提供了新的可能性。这次会议的主要目的是将板块重建和地幔动力学社区聚集在一起，这两个社区到目前为止一直是孤立地工作的。会议的目标包括：1)促进创新的跨学科科学交流，以便更好地将板块运动的地质记录整合到地球动力学模型中；2)通过整合作用于板块的更成熟的力知识来改进地球动力学模型；3)提高我们对板块边界性质的理解；以及4)更好地理解深部地幔过程和全球板块运动之间的关系。***

9629072 Richards The PIs propose to hold an interdisciplinary Chapman conference that brings together 80-100 scientists and students focused on identifying and solving fundamental problems of plate tectonics and mantle dynamics. Recent advances in geodynamic modeling and seismic imaging of the earth's interior offer new possibilities for integrating knowledge of the history of plate motions with these new results. The main purpose of the conference is to bring together the plate reconstruction and mantle dynamics communities, which have until now worked in isolation. Conference goals include: 1) fostering innovative cross-disciplinary scientific interchange toward better integrating the geological record of plate motions into geodynamic models, 2) improving geodynamic models by integrating a more mature knowledge of the forces acting on plates, 3) improving our understanding of the nature of plate boundaries, and 4) developing a better understanding of the relationship between deep mantle processes and global plate motions. ***
