Participant costs for the 10th Symposium of SEDI

我们请求将这笔资金用于资助参加第10届地球深部内部研究（SEDI）研讨会的费用。这次会议将于2006年7月9日至14日在捷克共和国的布拉格举行。SEDI的最终目标是加强对地球深部内部过去演变和当前热、动力和化学状态的理解，以及内部对地球表面观察到的结构和过程的影响。深部内部通常被认为是地核和下地幔，但兴趣可能会延伸到表面，例如，在地幔柱或岩石圈板块下降的动力学研究中。SEDI感兴趣的科学问题和问题包括地磁发电机和长期变化，古地磁学和地球深部的演化，外核的组成，结构和动力学，发电机能量学，内核的结构，核冷却和核-幔边界区域，核-幔边界形状，地球的耦合和旋转，下地幔：结构，公约和羽状，性质和位置的深层地球化学水库等。更广泛的影响这一建议将有助于跨学科教育的美国研究生和年轻的研究人员通过促进对话，在各级研究人员在一个相对较小的研讨会风格的会议。国际格式补充了美国国家团体（如CIDER）的努力，对那些在NSF CSEDI计划下获得资助或寻求资助的人非常有用。SEDI的结构本质上是跨学科的，为我们对地球深部和其他行星内部的理解的一系列主题提供了许多内部和国际合作的机会。

AbstractWe request that will be used to contribute to participate costs for the 10th symposium on Study of Earths Deep Interior (SEDI). The meeting will be held in Prague, Czech Republic from July 9-14, 2006.Intellectual Merit SEDI is an international scientific organization dedicated to the Study of the Earths Deep Interior. The ultimate goal SEDI is an enhanced understanding of the past evolution and current thermal, dynamical, and chemical state of the Earths deep interior and of the effect that the interior has on the structures and processes observed at the surface of the Earth. The deep interior is generally considered to be the core and lower mantle, but interest may extend to the surface, for example, in the study if mantle plumes or dynamics of descending lithospheric slabs. The scientific questions and problems of interest to SEDI include the geomagnetic dynamo and secular variation, paleomagnetism and the evolution of the Earths deep interior, composition, structure and dynamics of the outer core, dynamo energetics, structure of the inner core, core cooling and the core-mantle boundary region, core-mantle boundary shape, coupling and the rotation of the Earth, lower mantle: structure, convention and plumes, nature and location of deep geochemical reservoirs, etc.Broader Impact this proposal will contribute to interdisciplinary education of US graduate students and young researchers by fostering dialog with researchers at all levels at a relatively small workshop style meeting. The international format complements efforts by US national groups such as CIDER and will be very useful to those funded under or seeking funding from the NSF CSEDI program. The structure of SEDI is intrinsically interdisciplinary, providing many opportunities for intra-and international collaborations on a range of topics that our understanding of the deep earth and other planetary interiors.
