This award will partially support the 2011 Gordon Research Conference (GRC, June 5-10) and the first ever Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar (GRS, June 4-5) on the Interior of the Earth, which will be held at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts. The GRC is the eighth in a series of highly successful Gordon Research Conferences that focus on the structure, dynamics and evolution of the Earth's interior. For the first time, the 2011 Interior of the Earth Gordon Conference will be preceded by a Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar (http://www.grc.org/ programs.aspx?year=2011&program=grs_inter), a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas. NSF funds will be used to attract young scientists from a diverse range of institutions, backgrounds and scientific disciplines.This year's Gordon conference will focus on the shallow Earth with a particular emphasis on the link between the interior and surface processes. A wide range of topics will be addressed from a multi-disciplinary perspective. Invited speakers from the fields of geochemistry, geodynamics, mineral physics and seismology will define the forefront of knowledge and set the stage for a freewheeling discussion and debate of the most pressing scientific questions. Specific session topics include the link between mantle dynamics and sea level, great earthquakes, dynamics of subduction zones, volatile recycling in the upper mantle, the nature and dynamical role of the asthenosphere, and the origin and evolution of continents. The conference will also provide the opportunity for junior scientists and graduate students to present their work in poster format and exchange ideas with leading researchers. The latter will be greatly facilitated by the preceding GRS, which will focus on the nature of the asthenosphere providing particular synergy with the GRC to follow.

该奖项将部分支持2011年戈登研究会议（GRC，6月5日至10日）和第一次戈登凯南研究研讨会（GRS，6月4日至5日）的地球内部，这将是在山霍利奥克学院在南哈德利，马萨诸塞州举行。GRC是一系列非常成功的戈登研究会议中的第八届，这些会议专注于地球内部的结构，动力学和演化。这是第一次，2011年地球内部戈登会议将之前的戈登凯南研究研讨会（www.grc.org/程序。year=2011 program=grs_inter），这是一个独特的论坛，供研究生、博士后和其他具有可比经验和教育水平的科学家展示和交流新数据和前沿思想。美国国家科学基金会的资金将用于吸引来自不同机构、背景和科学学科的年轻科学家。今年的戈登会议将重点关注浅地球，特别强调内部和表面过程之间的联系。将从多学科的角度讨论广泛的主题。来自地球化学，地球动力学，矿物物理学和地震学领域的特邀演讲者将定义知识的前沿，并为最紧迫的科学问题的自由讨论和辩论奠定基础。具体的会议主题包括地幔动力学和海平面之间的联系，大地震，俯冲带的动力学，上地幔的挥发性回收，软流圈的性质和动力学作用，以及大陆的起源和演化。会议还将为初级科学家和研究生提供机会，以海报形式展示他们的工作，并与领先的研究人员交流思想。后者将极大地促进了前面的GRS，这将集中在软流圈的性质，提供特别的协同作用与GRC遵循。
