Graduate Student Travel Support Program for the 2013 V.M. Goldschmidt Conference in Florence, Italy August 25-30, 2013

该奖项将支持研究生和早期职业科学家参加2013年8月25日至30日在意大利佛罗伦萨举行的2013V.M.Goldschmidt会议。这笔旅行补助金将使来自美国和美国领土的最优秀和最聪明的学生，即可能因本国院校的经济限制而无法参加的学生，受益于这次会议在他们各自职业生涯的这个转折点所提供的所有优势。学生的申请将被收集起来，然后由一个由科学家组成的志愿者委员会进行审查和排名。地球化学学会将捐赠1万美元，这样总共有40名学生在会议上展示他们的研究成果，他们每人将获得1250美元的旅费。戈德施密特会议是地球化学的主要会场。会议将讨论的专题涉及低温和高温地球化学的广泛分学科，包括宇宙化学、地幔地球化学、早期和深部地球、大陆壳、界面地球化学、俯冲、早期地球环境的演变、火山和灾害、能源、矿石、气候变化、大气地球化学、风化和构造学、人为污染物、生物地球化学、分析和计算地球化学、水文地球化学、矿物学和矿物物理学。除了口头和海报展示，学生们还将有机会参加与会议相关的实地考察和研讨会。

This award will support participation by graduate students and early career scientists in the 2013V.M. Goldschmidt Conference in Florence, Italy, during August 25-30, 2013. This travel grant will enable the best and brightest students from the US and US Territories, students who might otherwise be unable to attend due to financial constraints at their home institutions, to benefit from all the advantages this meeting has to offer at this turning point in their respective careers. Applications will be collected from the students, then reviewed and ranked by a volunteer committee of scientists. The Geochemical Society is contributing $10,000 so that a total of 40 students, who are presenting their work at the conference, will receive $1,250 each toward travel expenses. The Goldschmidt conference is the premier venue for geochemistry. Thematic issues to be addressed at the conference span a broad range of sub-disciplines in low- and high- temperature geochemistry, including cosmochemistry, mantle geochemistry, early and deep earth, continental crust, interfacial geochemistry, subduction, evolution of the early Earth's environment, volcanoes and hazards, energy resources, ores, climate changes, atmospheric geochemistry, weathering and tectonics, anthropogenic pollutants, biogeochemistry, analytical and computational geochemistry, hydrogeochemistry, mineralogy and mineral physics. In addition to oral and poster presentation sessions, students will have an opportunity to participate in field trips and workshops associated with the conference.
