This brief proposal requests modest funds to help support the participation ofUS-based graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the 9th InternationalWorkshop on Numerical Modeling of Mantle Convection and Lithospheric Dynamics(henceforth IWNMC2005), to be held September 8-14, 2005, in Erice,Sicily at the Ettore Majorana Center for Scientific Culture. The workshop is totake place as the 25th Course of the International School of Geophysics.The IWNMC2005 is the most recent in an established and highly successfulseries of international meetings on mantle convection and lithospheric dynamics.Previous meetings in the series were held in 1989 (La Londe les Maures, France),1991 (Weilburg/Lahn, Germany), 1993 (Oleron, France), 1995 (Vlieland, Netherlands),and 1997 (Naurod, Germany), 2001 (Aussois, France), and, lastly, 2003(Hruba Skala, Czech Republic). The organizing committee for IWNMC2001 includesDavid Bercovici (Yale University), Thorsten Becker (University of SouthernCalifornia), Cinzia Farnetani (IPG Paris), Carlo Giunchi (INGV Roma), andGiorgio Spada (University of Urbino). The program for the workshop has beencompleted, and information for participants can be found through the website athttp://www.ingv.it/erice2005.Intellectual merit: Mantle and lithospheric dynamics is perhaps one of the mostfundamental and global of the geophysical sciences since it studies the basic enginethat controls the geological behavior of the Earth and terrestrial planets, notonly in terms of their thermal and chemical evolution, but also with regard to ongoingtectonics and volcanism. The International Mantle ConvectionWorkshop isthe longest running series of conferences on this science in existence and has forthe past two decades provided an unprecedented means for scientists and studentsfrom around the world to gather in unique and intimate surroundings, to discussthe state of the art of our science, and to argue about the problems that remain tobe solved. Moreover, the workshop provides students and young researchers withinternational exposure as well as technical training through lectures and tutorialsfrom some of the world's experts. The benefit to US students and junior scientistswill also be long-lasting as they meet new colleagues from around the world, andform new collaborations that will inspire the next important discoveries.Broader impact: The essential impact of this workshop and the requested fundingis the benefit it brings to junior scientists and students by furthering their intellectualand professional growth, and by expanding their interaction with schoolsof thought from other countries. Moreover, the contact that we make with ourover-seas colleagues facilitates our ability to recruit future excellent students andpostdoctoral scholars from around the world.

这项简短的建议要求提供适中的资金，以帮助美国的研究生和博士后参加将于2005年9月8-14日在西西里岛埃托雷·马约拉纳科学文化中心举行的第九届国际地幔对流和岩石圈动力学数值模拟研讨会(以下简称IWNMC2005)。2005年国际地球物理中心是关于地幔对流和岩石圈动力学系列会议中最新的一次，该系列会议之前分别于1989年(法国)、1991年(德国魏尔堡/拉恩)、1993年(法国奥勒隆)、1995年(荷兰弗利兰)和1997年(德国纽罗德)、2001年(法国奥索伊斯)和2003年(捷克共和国赫鲁巴斯卡拉)举行。2001年IWNMC的组委会成员包括David Bercovici(耶鲁大学)、Thorsten Becker(南加州大学)、Cinzia Farnetani(巴黎IPG)、Carlo Giunchi(罗马INGV)和Giorgio Spada(乌尔比诺大学)。讲习班的计划已经完成，与会者的信息可以通过http://www.ingv.it/erice2005.Intellectual的网站找到：地幔和岩石圈动力学可能是地球物理科学中最基础和最全球性的问题之一，因为它研究的是控制地球和类地行星地质行为的基础工程，不仅在它们的热和化学演化方面，而且在正在进行的构造和火山活动方面。国际地幔会议研讨会是关于这一科学的持续时间最长的一系列会议，在过去的二十年里，它为来自世界各地的科学家和学生提供了一个前所未有的手段，让他们聚集在独特而亲密的环境中，讨论我们科学的最新水平，并就有待解决的问题进行辩论。此外，该讲习班还通过一些世界专家的讲座和辅导，为学生和年轻研究人员提供国际接触和技术培训。对美国学生和初级科学家的好处也将是持久的，因为他们认识了来自世界各地的新同事，并形成了新的合作，这将启发下一个重要发现。更广泛的影响：这个研讨会和所要求的资金的根本影响是它通过促进初级科学家和学生的智力和专业成长，以及通过扩大他们与其他国家思想学校的互动而给他们带来的好处。此外，我们与海外同事的联系有助于我们从世界各地招收未来优秀的学生和博士后学者。
