This grant will partially support the 2013 Interior of the Earth Gordon Research Conference (GRC, June 2-7, 2013) and the second Gordon Research Seminar (GRS, June 1-2) which will be held at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts. The GRC is the 9th in a series of Gordon Research Conferences that focus on the structure, dynamics and evolution of the Earth's interior. For the second time, the Gordon Conference will be preceded by a Gordon Research Seminar (http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2013&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 to theGRC and GRS, from a diverse range of institutions, backgrounds and scientific disciplines.The forthcoming conference will focus on the deep Earth and will cover, among others, the structure, composition and dynamics of the core-mantle boundary region and the core, magnetic field, planets, as well as structure and geochemical evolution of the whole Earth, from a multidisciplinary perspective. Invited speakers from the fields of geochemistry, geodynamics, mineral physics, geomagnetism 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 inner core structure and dynamics, the structure and nature of LLSVP's (large low shear velocity provinces), the mantle transition zone and interactions between the upper and the lower mantle, early earth and geochemical reservoirs, rheology and mineralogy of the deep mantle, the core-mantle boundary and core/mantle interactions, planetary interiors. 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 'Structure of the Earth's Deep Interior and its Role in Mantle Convection", providing particular synergy with the GRC to follow. The collegial atmosphere of both GRC and GRS, with programmed discussion sessions and opportunities for informal gatherings, is intended to generate lively exchange and promote cross-disciplinary collaborations.

这笔拨款将部分支持2013年地球内部戈登研究会议（GRC， 2013年6月2-7日）和第二届戈登研究研讨会（GRS， 6月1-2日），该研讨会将在马萨诸塞州南哈德利的Mount Holyoke学院举行。GRC是戈登系列研究会议的第9次会议，该会议专注于地球内部的结构、动力学和进化。第二次，戈登会议之前将举办戈登研究研讨会（http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2013&program=grs_inter），这是一个独特的论坛，供研究生、博士后和其他具有相当经验和教育水平的科学家展示和交流新数据和前沿思想。NSF基金将用于吸引来自不同机构、不同背景和不同学科的年轻科学家加入grc和GRS。即将召开的会议将以地球深部为重点，并将从多学科的角度涵盖核-幔边界区域和地核的结构、组成和动力学、磁场、行星以及整个地球的结构和地球化学演化等内容。来自地球化学、地球动力学、矿物物理学、地磁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。具体的主题包括内核结构和动力学，大低剪切速度省（LLSVP）的结构和性质，地幔过渡带和上下地幔之间的相互作用，早期地球和地球化学储层，深部地幔的流变学和矿物学，核心-地幔边界和核心/地幔相互作用，行星内部。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。后者将受到之前GRS的极大促进，后者将侧重于“地球深部结构及其在地幔对流中的作用”，并与随后的GRC提供特别的协同作用。GRC和GRS的学院氛围，有计划的讨论会议和非正式聚会的机会，旨在产生活跃的交流和促进跨学科合作。
