Support for 21st International workshop on Electromagnetic Induction in the Earth

该奖项为第21届国际地球电磁感应研讨会提供了部分支持。该研讨会由国际地磁与航空学会（IAGA）和国际大地测量与地球物理联合会（IUGG）每两年主办一次，是世界地球科学家分享电磁研究成果和规划国际合作实验的主要论坛。研讨会将于2012年7月在澳大利亚达尔文举行，由澳大利亚勘探地球物理学会主办。由于电导率对温度、流体、矿石矿物和岩性变化的敏感性，电磁测量提供了一个独特的地球视图。这种敏感性在监测环境问题、勘探能源和矿物资源、研究地球和其他行星的内部结构以及调查潜在的自然和人为危险区域（例如地震、火山、未爆炸条例）方面是重要的。PI正在提供支持吗？来自澳大利亚机构和国际公司的澳大利亚同事帮助支付会议中心的租金、出版和宣传费用、与会者的材料、当地交通和视听设备的费用。国家科学基金的大部分资金将用于支持学生和青年科学家的旅行。来自发展中国家的一些资深科学家也将得到支持。

This award provides partial support for the 21st International Workshop on Electromagnetic (EM) Induction in the Earth. This workshop is sponsored every two years by the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA) and the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) and is the primary forum for earth scientists in the world to share their EM research and plan international cooperative experiments. The workshop will be held in Darwin, Australia in July, 2012 and will be hosted by the Australian Society of Exploration Geophysics.EM measurements provide a unique view of the Earth because of the sensitivity of electrical conductivity to temperature, fluids, ore minerals, and lithologic variations. This sensitivity is important in monitoring environmental problems, exploring for energy and mineral occurrences, studying the interior structure of the Earth and other planets, and investigating regions of potential natural and man-made hazards (e.g., seismic, volcanic, unexploded ordinance).Support is being provided by the PI?s Australian colleagues from Australian organizations and international companies to help defray costs of the convention center rental, publication and publicity expenses, materials for participants, local transportation, and audiovisual equipment. The largest portion of the NSF funds will support travel for students and young scientists. There will also be support for a few senior scientists from developing countries.
