The work will facilitate the synthesis and integration of research carried out under MARGINS source-to-sink initiative through an inclusive international conference and the creation of a digital text and educational resources. Knowledge gained in a wet tropical setting (New Guinea and the Gulf of Papua) will be contrasted with that completed in a temperate setting (New Zealand and its adjacent continental margin) in order to resolve fundamental differences in the operation of processes that transfer mass (particulate and dissolved) across the Earth surface. The general goal of the meeting is to articulate the ideas that are the foundation for a holistic understanding of sediment dispersal from land origins to marine accumulation, and to explore the theoretical and observational studies that support them. A synthesis of the S2S science in itself would be an important resource for the broader Earth science community. Other broader impacts include participation of graduate students and young investigators in the conference, production of digital text for advanced college courses and mini lessons for introductory courses, and inclusion of applied scientists, geoscience educators and others who study the stratigraphic record.

这项工作将通过一次包容性的国际会议和创建数字文本和教育资源，促进综合和整合在MARGINS源到汇倡议下开展的研究。将把在潮湿的热带环境（新几内亚和巴布亚湾）中获得的知识与在温带环境（新西兰及其邻近大陆边）中完成的知识进行对比，以便解决在地球表面转移物质（微粒和溶解物质）的过程的运作方面的根本差异。会议的总体目标是阐明作为全面了解沉积物从陆地起源到海洋堆积的扩散基础的想法，并探讨支持这些想法的理论和观测研究。综合S2S科学本身将是更广泛的地球科学界的重要资源。其他更广泛的影响包括研究生和年轻研究人员参加会议，为高级大学课程和入门课程的迷你课程制作数字文本，并包括应用科学家，地球科学教育工作者和其他研究地层记录的人。
