2010 Gordon Research Conference - Research at High Pressure; Holderness School; Holderness, NH

该奖项为参加将于2010年6月27日至7月2日举行的2010年戈登高压研究会议的研究生、博士后研究人员和初级教师提供部分支持。这个会议已经举办了50多年，它的持续成功归功于利用高压的科学研究的积极和多样化。这次会议吸引了物理学、化学、材料和地球科学以及生物学领域的顶尖研究人员，他们使用并开发了在极端条件下研究物质的方法。今年会议的特邀演讲将涵盖所有这些主题，并包括在非常高压下预测材料结构和性能的方法的最新进展，以及在非常中等压力下的实际化学应用。会议特别强调为年轻研究人员与高压研究领域的主要专家提供一个互动的环境。为了帮助实现这一目标，我们有一个青年研究人员会议，以及两个额外的特别讲座，以该研究领域的先驱命名，由该领域的新研究人员进行。该奖项得到了材料研究部和地球科学部的支持。

This award provides partial support for graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and junior faculty to attend the 2010 Gordon Research Conference on Research at High Pressure to be held June 27 - July 2, 2010. This conference has been held for more than 50 years and owes it continued success to the active and diverse nature of scientific research that employs high pressures. This conference attracts leading researchers in physics, chemistry, materials and geo-sciences, as well as biology, who use and develop methods for the study of matter at extreme conditions. Invited talks at this year's conference will cover all of these topics and include the very latest advances in methods for predicting structures and properties of materials at very high pressures to practical chemistry applications at very moderate pressures. The conference places a special emphasis on providing an environment for interactions of young researchers with the leading experts in high pressure research. To help accomplish this we have a Young Investigators session as well as two additional special talks, named after pioneers in this research area, to be given by new researchers in this field. The award receives support from the Division of Materials Research and the Division of Earth Sciences.
