Pan American Current Research on Fluid Inclusions Conference

智力优势：该提案要求资金支付学生，博士后，助理教授和其他早期职业科学家参加2010年6月泛美流体包裹体研究会议（PACROFI）的费用。本次会议的重点是流体包裹体研究，旨在阐明与矿石存款形成，火山灾害减轻和俯冲带元素再循环有关的岩浆热液过程。这项研究提供了最直接的机会，以确定古代地质流体的成分，以及压力，温度和化学条件，参加他们的形成。PACROFI会议为交流科学成果和思想以及该研究领域的知名科学家和早期职业科学家之间的沟通提供了一个重要论坛。早期职业科学家的参与被认为是必不可少的，因为他们为科学带来了创新的想法，因为他们将领导该领域的未来研究。更广泛的影响：所申请的资金将抵消约25名学生与会者的参与费用，以及对10名早期职业科学家的部分支持。 对这些人的财政支持是必要的，因为许多人缺乏资源参加其他活动。申请的21，350美元将用于学生与会者的注册，住宿和旅行，以及10名早期职业科学家的注册和住房（分别约占与会者总数的33%和8%）。这种支持可能会在会议与会者的构成上产生重大影响，并将对年轻一代的包容性研究人员产生重要而积极的影响。

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.
