Travel Support for US Volcanology Graduate Students to IAVCEI General Assembly, Iceland August 2008

该奖项将由岩石学和地球化学项目提供资金，部分资助20名美国研究生参加计划于2008年8月18日至25日在冰岛举行的国际火山学和地球内部化学协会(IAVCEI)大会。这些火山学学生将参加这次国际会议，还将参加冰岛雷克雅未克的免费实地考察和研讨会。IAVCEI大会每四年举行一次，是在全世界火山学领域建立成功的国际科学合作的主要场所。过去，美国研究生参加这一特定的会议导致了许多国际合作，并产生了许多综合研究想法。由于在冰岛参加会议的成本相当高，如果没有一些财政支持，美国研究生的出席将受到严重阻碍。预计该奖项的资金将促进这些早期职业科学家的参与，并使他们能够参与国际经验，其中还包括与其他国家未来的同事建立联系。

This award will provide funding from the Petrology and Geochemistry Program to partially sponsor the travel of 20 US graduate students to participate at the General Assembly of the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI) that is planned for August 18 - 25, 2008 in Iceland. These volcanology students will participate in this international conference and also in complimentary field trips and workshops in Reykjavik, Iceland. IAVCEI General Assembly Meetings take place only once every four years and are the main venue for establishing successful international scientific cooperation in the field of Volcanology worldwide. In the past, the attendance of US graduate students at this particular conference led to a number of international collaborations and generated many integrated research ideas. Because the cost involved in the attendance of a meeting in Iceland is rather high, attendance of US graduate students would be significantly hindered without some financial support. It is expected that funding for this award will promote the participation of these early career scientists and allow them to engage in an international experience that also includes bonding with future colleagues from other countries.
