Meeting of Young Researchers in Earth Sciences (MYRES II): Dynamics of the Lithosphere

该奖项将支持以岩石圈动力学为主题的地球科学青年研究人员会议（MYRES）。MYRES的任务是聚集来自世界各地的年轻科学家，代表地球科学的许多分支，在一个地点进行为期四天的正式和非正式的思想、数据、方法交流，并制定长期项目和合作。会议轮流在欧洲和美国举行，以促进国际参与。这次会议将在意大利举行，由美国国家科学基金会和欧洲科学基金会共同主办。虽然致力于青年科学家，但会议向所有科学家开放，这些科学家可以从该主题领域的教育和合作导向的重点中受益。会议议程将包括介绍岩石圈的化学和物理结构及其演变；地球内部的变形机制和过程综述；地震发生和大地测量信号；最后是关于长期地球动力学的讨论。概述讲座辅以分组讨论，实践培训课程和海报会议，旨在最大限度地在一个较小的群体中开放互动。岩石圈的研究本质上是跨学科的，这次会议的召开将改善这种跨学科的互动。MYRES的形式旨在通过提供复习讲座、实践教程和重点讨论小组，最大限度地提高初级科学家的学习和培训。与会者和演讲者来自不同的科学专业、国家、种族和性别，反映了我们社区的多样性。MYRES还保持一个永久的互联网存在，正在建立这个网络，以便为最先进的、公正的地球科学信息提供新的资源。该网站将对所有人开放，将该项目的受益者扩大到每一位科学家和非科学家。开放的方法旨在提高公众对地球科学科学过程的认识和理解。

This award will support the Meeting of Young Researchers in Earth Sciences (MYRES) that focus on the topic: Dynamics of the Lithosphere. MYRES has the mission of gathering junior scientists from all over the world, representing many branches of geosciences in a single venue for four days to exchange formally and informally ideas, data, methods, and formulate long term projects and collaborations. The meetings are held alternatively in Europe and in the USA to facilitate international participation. This meeting will be held in Italy and it will be co-sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the European Science Foundation. While dedicated to young scientists, the meeting is open to all scientists that can benefit from the education and collaboration-oriented focus of the subject area. The meeting agenda will include an introduction to the chemical and physical structure of the lithosphere and its evolution; a review of deformation mechanisms processes in the interior of the Earth; earthquake generation and geodetic signals; and finally, a discussion of long-term geodynamics. Overview talks are complemented by breakout discussion sessions, hand-on training sessions, and poster sessions aimed at maximizing open interaction in a smaller group. Studies of the lithosphere are by essence interdisciplinary and this meeting will be held to improve this cross-disciplinary interactions. The MYRES format was designed to maximize learning and training of junior scientists by offering review talks, hands-on tutorials, and focused discussion groups. The attendees and speakers draw from various scientific specialties, countries, ethnic groups, and both genders, reflecting the diversity of our community. MYRES also maintains a permanent Internet presence that is being built to provide a new resource for state-of-the-art, unbiased information on earth sciences. The website will be universally accessible, broadening the beneficiaries of this project to every scientist and non-scientist. The open approach is designed to increase the public awareness and understanding of the scientific process in Earth Sciences.
