We request funds to partially cover participant costs for the 11th Symposium on Study of Earth?s Deep Interior (SEDI). The meeting will be held in Kunming, China from July 27-31, 2008. SEDI is an international scientific organization dedicated to the Study of the Earth?s Deep Interior. The ultimate goal of SEDI is an enhanced understanding of the past evolution and current thermal, chemical and dynamical state of the Earth?s deep interior and of the effect of that the interior has on 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 often extends to the surface, for example, in the study of 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 Earth?s deep interior, material properties at extreme conditions, structure and dynamics of the core and mantle, core-mantle interactions, and the nature and location of deep geochemical reservoirs, etc. 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 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 broad range of topics that contribute to our understanding of the deep earth and other planetary interiors.

我们请求提供资金，以部分支付第11次地球研究专题讨论会的与会者费用。深内（SEDI）。会议将于2008年7月27日至31日在中国昆明举行。 SEDI是一个致力于地球研究的国际科学组织。s深内部。SEDI的最终目标是增强对地球过去演化和当前热、化学和动力学状态的理解。地球的深层内部以及内部对在地球表面观察到的结构和过程的影响。的？内心深处一般认为，地幔柱是地核和下地幔，但人们的兴趣往往延伸到地表，例如研究地幔柱或下降的岩石圈板块的动力学。SEDI感兴趣的科学问题和问题包括地磁发电机和长期变化，古地磁和地球的演化？的深部内部，在极端条件下的物质性质，结构和动力学的核心和地幔，核-幔相互作用，以及性质和深部地球化学水库的位置等，这一建议将有助于美国研究生和年轻的研究人员的跨学科教育，促进对话，在一个相对较小的研讨会式的会议在各级研究人员。国际格式补充了美国国家团体（如CIDER）的努力，并将对那些在NSF CSEDI计划下资助或寻求资助的人有用。SEDI的结构本质上是跨学科的，为内部和国际合作提供了许多机会，这些合作涉及广泛的主题，有助于我们对地球深部和其他行星内部的理解。
