EAR-0324829StixrudeThe Gordon Research Conference on the Interior of the Earth, to be held June 8-13, 2003 at MountHolyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts, will address major unresolved problems at thefrontiers of our understanding of the dynamics, composition, structure, and evolution of the earth'scrust, lithosphere, and upper mantle and their connections to surface observations and processes.Jerry Mitrovica (University of Toronto) and Lars Stixrude (PI) are the Chair and Vice-Chair,respectively for the 2003 meeting. The meeting will bring together researchers from a wide varietyof backgrounds, perspectives, disciplines, types of institutions, career stages, and demographics.The program, including all speakers and discussion leaders has been confirmed.This is the fourth Gordon Research Conference on the Earth's Interior. The previous three havebeen remarkably successful as documented by evaluations required by the GRC organization.Gordon Research Conferences provide a unique setting for the exchange of scientific ideas inwhich the opportunities for formal and informal discussion are optimized. The conferences areadministered through a central office in Rhode Island, which takes no overhead; the conferenceinfrastructure leaves the conference organizers free to focus on the content of the meeting.Broader Impacts. The requested funds would be used to encourage and support the participationof young scientists who might not otherwise be able to attend including graduate students and post-doctoralfellows. The conference is a wonderful educational opportunity for this group, not onlyfor the formal presentations, but for the chances to interact informally with leaders in the field, andto present their own work in the form of posters. NSF support of previous conferences on theInterior of the Earth have helped tremendously to facility a diverse group of attendees.

戈登地球内部研究会议将于2003年6月8日至13日在马萨诸塞州南哈德利的蒙特霍利奥克学院举行，会议将讨论我们对地球内部的动力学、组成、结构和演化的理解中尚未解决的主要问题。Jerry Mitrovica（多伦多大学）和Lars Stixrude（PI）分别担任2003年会议的主席和副主席。这次会议将汇集来自不同背景、观点、学科、机构类型、职业阶段和人口统计学的研究人员。该计划，包括所有发言人和讨论领导人已经确定。这是第四届戈登地球内部研究会议。前三次会议都取得了显著的成功，正如GRC组织所要求的评估所证明的那样。戈登研究会议为科学思想的交流提供了一个独特的环境，其中正式和非正式讨论的机会得到了优化。会议通过位于罗得岛的中央办公室进行管理，无需管理费用;会议基础设施使会议组织者可以自由地专注于会议内容。所申请的资金将用于鼓励和支持可能无法参加的年轻科学家的参与，包括研究生和博士后研究员。这次会议是一个很好的教育机会，不仅是为了正式的演讲，而且是为了有机会与该领域的领导者进行非正式的互动，并以海报的形式展示自己的工作。美国国家科学基金会对以前关于地球内部的会议的支持极大地帮助了不同与会者群体。
