2002 Rock Deformation Gordon Conference, May 2002 in Barga, Italy

EAR-0125826 Andreas K.Kronenberg私人投资公司提议于2002年5月19日至24日在意大利巴尔加的Gordon会议现场举行戈登岩石变形研究会议。正如提案中详细讨论的那样，举行这次会议的目的是召集一个跨学科的专家小组，讨论有关地壳变形和塑性流动的重大悬而未决的问题。正在解决的问题对于理解构造过程、地震的起源和自然资源的起源至关重要。资金将用于支付旅行和住宿费用，以加强学生和早期职业科学家的参与。预计将有来自学术界、政府实验室和广大国际社会的广泛和跨学科的研究人员参加会议。私人投资机构要求25,000美元的支助，但审查方案主任小组决定，20,000美元更适合提议的会议。

EAR-0125826Andreas K. KronenbergThe PIs propose to hold a Gordon Research Conference on Rock Deformation from May 19-24, 2002 at the Gordon Conference site in Barga, Italy. As discussed in detail in the proposal, the conference is being held to bring together an interdisciplinary group of experts to discuss major unanswered questions about the deformation and plastic flow in the Earth's crust. The issues being addressed are central to understanding tectonic processes, the initiation of earthquakes, and the origin of natural resources. Funds will be used to cover travel and accommodations to enhance participation of student and early career scientists. It is expected that a broad and interdisciplinary cross-section of researchers from academia, government labs, and the broad international community will participate in the conference. The PIs requested $25,000 in support, but the group of reviewing program directors decided that $20,000 is more appropriate for the conference as proposed.
