This award provides funding for the 19th International Workshop on Electromagnetic (EM) Induction in the Earth. This workshop is sponsored every two years by the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA) and the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) and is the primary forum for earth scientists in the world to share their EM research and plan international cooperative experiments. The workshop will be held in Beijing, China on October 23 ? 29, 2008 and will be hosted by the Institute of Geology, China Earthquake Administration (CEA), and the Geo-electromagnetic Committee of the China Geophysical Society.EM measurements provide a unique view of the Earth because of the sensitivity of electrical conductivity to temperature, fluids, ore minerals, and lithologic variations. This sensitivity is important in monitoring environmental problems, exploring for energy and mineral occurrences, studying the interior structure of the Earth and other planets, and while investigating regions of potential natural and man-made hazards (e.g., seismic, volcanic, unexploded ordinance).Other Chinese institutions, universities, and organizations will contribute to the operational expenses of the workshop. Support is also being sought by the PIs Chinese colleagues from Chinese organizations and international companies to help defray costs of the convention center rental, publication and publicity expenses, materials for participants, local transportation, and audiovisual equipment. The largest portion of the requested NSF funds will support travel for students and young scientists. There will also be support for a few senior scientists from developing countries. For many researchers, an assistance grant will be pivotal for them to obtain additional support from their home country or institution. The EM workshops in the past have fostered countless collaborations between U.S. scientists and their foreign counterparts.

该奖项为第19届地球电磁感应国际研讨会提供资金。 该研讨会每两年由国际地磁学和高层大气物理学协会（IAGA）和国际大地测量与地球物理学联合会（IUGG）主办，是世界地球科学家分享他们的EM研究和计划国际合作实验的主要论坛。 研讨会将于10月23日在中国北京举行。由于电导率对温度、流体、矿石矿物和岩性变化的敏感性，EM测量提供了对地球的独特看法。 这种灵敏度在监测环境问题、探索能源和矿产、研究地球和其他行星的内部结构以及调查潜在的自然和人为危险区域（例如，其他中国机构、大学和组织将为研讨会的运作费用提供捐款。 国际新闻学会的中国同事也在寻求来自中国组织和国际公司的支持，以帮助支付会议中心租金、出版和宣传费用、与会者材料、当地交通和视听设备的费用。 申请的NSF资金的最大部分将用于支持学生和年轻科学家的旅行。 还将为发展中国家的一些资深科学家提供支助。 对于许多研究人员来说，援助赠款将是他们从本国或机构获得额外支持的关键。 过去的EM研讨会促进了美国科学家与外国同行之间的无数合作。
