BassEAR-0106655This proposal requests funds to partially support a two-day workshop entitled "Phase Transitions and Mantle Discontinuities". The workshop will be held on April 5-6, 2001, at the GeoForschungsZentrum in Potsdam, Germany. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from a variety of disciplines to examine what is known, as well as what is not understood, about seismic discontinuities in the mantle and their implications for the state of the Earth's deep interior. The scientific program will include presentations in the areas of seismology, mineral physics, geodynamics, and geochemistry, each of which provides an opportunity to present and debate new results with colleagues in related but distinct disciplines, and to summarize the state or our understanding in several areas related to the Earth's mantle. A high degree of cross-fertilization between disciplines is one of goals of the workshop. Funds will be allocated primarily to offset expenses associated with the travel and participation of U.S. graduate students in the workshop.

该提案要求提供资金，以部分支持为期两天的题为“相变和地幔不连续性”的讲习班。 讲习班将于2001年4月5日至6日在德国波茨坦的GeoForschungsZentrum举行。 该讲习班的目的是汇集来自不同学科的研究人员，研究关于地幔中地震不连续性的已知和不了解的情况及其对地球深部内部状态的影响。 科学计划将包括地震学，矿物物理学，地球动力学和地球化学领域的演讲，每个领域都提供了一个与相关但不同学科的同事展示和辩论新成果的机会，并总结了与地球地幔相关的几个领域的状态或我们的理解。各学科之间的高度交流是讲习班的目标之一。 资金将主要用于抵消与美国研究生参加研讨会和旅行有关的费用。
