Pan American Current Research on Fluid Inclusions Conference

学术价值：这项提案要求提供资金，用于支付学生、博士后、助理教授和其他职业生涯早期科学家参加2010年6月泛美当代流体包裹体研究大会(PACROFI)的费用。这次会议的重点是流体包裹体研究，旨在阐明与俯冲带成矿、火山灾害缓解和元素循环有关的岩浆热液过程。这项研究为确定古地质流体的组成以及形成过程中的压力、温度和化学条件提供了最直接的机会。PACROFI会议提供了一个重要的论坛，用于交流科学成果和想法，并在这一研究领域的知名科学家和早期职业科学家之间进行沟通。早期科学家的出席被认为是必要的，因为他们为科学带来了创新的想法，因为他们将领导这一领域的未来研究。广泛的影响：所申请的资金将抵消大约25名学生参加的费用，以及对10名职业早期科学家的部分支持。对这些人的财政支持是必要的，因为许多人缺乏参加其他活动的资源。申请的21,350美元将用于学生与会者的注册费、住宿费和旅费，以及10名职业生涯早期科学家的注册费和住宿费(分别约占与会者总数的33%和8%)。这种支持可能会对会议的与会者构成产生重大影响，并将对年轻一代的包容性研究人员产生重要和积极的影响。

Intellectual Merit: This proposal requests funds to pay costs for students, post-doctorates, assistant professors, and other early-career scientists to attend the June, 2010, Pan American Current Research on Fluid Inclusions conference (PACROFI). This conference focuses on fluid inclusion research that aims to elucidate magmatic hydrothermal processes associated with ore deposit formation, volcanic hazard mitigation and element recycling in subduction zones. This research provides the most direct opportunity to determine compositions of ancient geologic fluids, as well as pressure, temperature and chemical conditions attending their formation. The PACROFI meetings provide an important forum for exchange of scientific results and ideas, and communication between established and early-career scientists in this reseach area. The attendance of early-career scientists is considered essential, because they bring innovative ideas to the science, and because they will lead future research in this field.Broader Impacts: The requested funds will offset participation costs for some 25 student attendees, as well as partial support for 10 early-career scientists. Financial support for these individuals is necessary as many lack the resources to attend otherwise. The $21,350 requested will cover registration, housing and travel for the student attendees, and registration and housing for 10 early-career scientists (approximately 33% and 8%, respectively, of the total attendees). This support may make a significant difference in the make-up of attendees at the meeting and it will have an important and positive impact on the younger generation of inclusion researchers.
