Support for the 60th Annual Meteoritical Society Meeting, Maui, Hawaii, July 21-25, 1997

该奖项支持来自前苏联的学生和科学家参加将于1997年7月21日至25日在夏威夷毛伊岛的毛伊王子酒店举行的第60届气象学会年会，该年会由夏威夷大学马诺阿分校的夏威夷地球物理和行星学研究所组织赞助，夏威夷火奴鲁鲁，夏威夷，96822。NASA、巴林杰基金会、JEOL USA公司、Cameca公司和Pallasite出版社提供了额外的支持。这次会议的主要科学焦点是把陨石作为太阳系起源和演化的线索。气象学会的年会是技术会议，而不是公约，而且是国际性的。由于后者，举办地通常在欧洲和美国之间轮流举行，反映了来自两个大陆的不平等的社会成员。出席大多数会议的国家包括：澳大利亚、奥地利、比利时、加拿大、丹麦、法国、德国、印度、日本、荷兰、俄罗斯、瑞士、英国和美国。过去14年来，包括嘉宾在内，出席会议的人数大多在250至400人之间。有记录以来规模最大的会议是维也纳会议，共有449名与会者和嘉宾。由于1997年会议在夏威夷毛伊岛举行，预计出席人数将非常高，可能超过400人。会议的主题主要是陨石的矿物学、同位素和化学研究，早期太阳系过程的理论研究，以及撞击现象的实地和理论研究。整个科学主题是了解我们的太阳系及其组成部分的形成和演化，以及一般的太阳系。最近在陨石学会会议上引起极大兴趣的话题包括在球粒陨石陨石中发现的星际颗粒的性质和起源；短寿命放射性核素在新形成的太阳系中的分布及其在早期行星熔化中的可能作用火星（SNC）陨石挥发物的性质及其对火星挥发物收支的影响；已知早期太阳系中存在的同位素异常物质的可能天体物理位置（恒星类型）；以及过去几万年来撞击地球的陨石数量可能存在的长期变化。毛伊岛会议为期五天，包括两个同时举行的技术会议和海报会议。大多数论文都是别人贡献的，而不是邀请的；很多是学生给的。通常的形式是10分钟的陈述，然后5分钟的提问。所有课程都将在毛伊岛王子酒店举行，该酒店拥有全新的一流讲座设施。在陨石学会会议之前，lpi - higp将主办一个关于“球粒物质的母体和星云修饰”的研讨会，预计陨石学会会议的许多参与者也将参加研讨会。特殊数据元素A. 7 N - - B.

Keil OPP 9707077 Abstract This award supports travel for students and scientists from the Former Soviet Union to participate in the 60th Annual Meeting of the Meteoritical Society, which will be held in the Maui Prince Hotel, Maui, Hawaii, from July 21-25, 1997, under the organizational sponsorship of the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii, 96822. Additional support is being provided by NASA, The Barringer Foundation, JEOL USA, Inc., Cameca, Inc., and Pallasite Press. The principal scientific focus of the meeting is on meteorites as clues to the origin and evolution of the solar system. Annual meetings of the Meteoritical Society are technical conferences, not conventions, and are international in nature. Because of the latter the venue generally alternates between Europe and the US, reflecting the sub-equal Society membership from the two continents. Countries represented at most of the meetings include: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Japan, the Netherlands, Russia, Switzerland, the UK, and the United States. Attendance at the meetings over the past 14 years has mostly been in the range 250- 400 persons, including guests. The largest meeting on record was Vienna, with 449 participants plus guests. Because of the location of the 1997 meeting in Maui, Hawaii, attendance is expected to be very high, probably in excess of 400. The subject matter of the conference is dominated by mineralogic, isotopic and chemical studies of meteorites, theoretical studies of early solar system processes, and field and theoretical studies of impact phenomena. The overall scientific theme is learning about the formation and evolution of our solar system and its components, and solar systems in general. Recent topics of great interest at Meteoritical Society meetings have included the nature and origin of interstellar grains that have been found preserved in chondrite mete orites; the distribution of short- lived radionuclides in the newly-formed solar system and their possible role in early planetary melting; the nature of volatiles in Martian (SNC) meteorites and their implications for the volatile budget on Mars; the possible astrophysical sites (star types) from which isotopically-anomalous material known to be present in the early solar system was derived; and possible secular variations in the meteorite population bombarding Earth over the past several tens of thousands of years. The Maui meeting is comprised of five days of two concurrent technical sessions, as well as Poster Sessions. Most of the papers are contributed rather than invited; many are given by students. The usual format is 10 minutes for presentation followed by 5 minutes for questions. All sessions, will be held in the Maui Prince Hotel, which has new, superb lecture facilities. The Meteoritical Society Meeting will be preceded by an LPI-HIGP-sponsored Workshop on "Parent body and nebular modification of chondritic materials", and it is anticipated that many of the participants of the Meteoritical Society Meeting will also participate in the Workshop.
