Funds are requested to support US scientists to participate at the Neutrino Geoscience 2013 meeting (http://www.awa.tohoku.ac.jp/geoscience2013/), 21-23 March, in Takayama, Japan. This meeting brings together geology and particle physics communities with shared interests in geoneutrino detection and data interpretation. Geoneutrinos are electron antineutrinos that come from the decay of Th and U from inside the Earth. This meeting is designed to initiate and foster an understanding of the shared science interests of thesecommunities. The meeting will last three days (21-23 March) and discuss the latest results from the experiments in KamLAND, Japan and Borexino, Italy, as well as review future experiments in the field. The KamLAND and Borexino physics teams have stated that they are prepared to produce a publication of their latest results (comparable to the Phys Rev B 2010 and Nature Geoscience 2011 papers).A subcommittee will select the US geo-scientists to bring to the meeting. Selection criteria are based on scientific breath and diversity including the fields of Seismology, Geodynamics, Mineral Physics, Geochemistry, Petrology and Geomagnetism. Preference will be given to new, first-time participants; and the committee specifically seeks to have at least on grad student or post-doc, as well as pre-tenured faculty and or lab scientists, and senior scientists. It is expected to support at this meeting a wide range of geoscientists including senior, mid-career and early career scientists and PhD students. Nearly all geoscientists have no available funding for attending such a meeting, and the field is newly emergent in geosciences.

请求资金支持美国科学家参加 3 月 21 日至 23 日在日本高山举行的 2013 年中微子地球科学会议 (http://www.awa.tohoku.ac.jp/geoscience2013/)。这次会议汇集了对中微子探测和数据解释有着共同兴趣的地质学和粒子物理学界。地球中微子是电子反中微子，来自地球内部钍和铀的衰变。这次会议旨在发起和促进对这些社区共同科学兴趣的理解。会议将持续三天（3月21日至23日），讨论日本 KamLAND 和意大利 Borexino 实验的最新结果，并回顾该领域未来的实验。 KamLAND 和 Borexino 物理团队表示，他们准备出版最新成果（与 Phys Rev B 2010 和 Nature Geoscience 2011 论文相比）。小组委员会将选择美国地球科学家参加会议。选择标准基于科学气息和多样性，包括地震学、地球动力学、矿物物理学、地球化学、岩石学和地磁学领域。新的、首次参加者将被优先考虑；该委员会特别寻求至少有研究生或博士后，以及预聘教师和/或实验室科学家以及高级科学家。预计本次会议将支持广泛的地球科学家，包括高级、职业中期和早期职业科学家和博士生。几乎所有地球科学家都没有足够的资金来参加这样的会议，而这个领域是地球科学中的新兴领域。
