This proposal provides support for student participation for students to participate in the Geological Society of America Penrose Conference "Linkages and feedbacks in orogenic processes - a conference honoring the career of Robert D. Hatcher, Jr, which will be held 30 March?4 April 2014 2014 in Asheville, NC. The conference will provide a forum to synthesize our understanding of orogenic systems, with specific emphasis placed on the consistent integration of multiple datasets that characterize process linkages and reconciliation of theoretical-numerical vs. field-derived models. For example, in many orogens, fault kinematics control the redistribution of heat-producing material and drive advection, which in turn sets up the thermal structure of the orogen. Thermal structure controls lithospheric rheology, which determines the nature and distribution of deformation and strain localization. The structural architecture governs fault kinematics, which act in conjunction with climate to focus erosional and exhumation processes. Therefore, explicit characterization of these links and their associated feedbacks are critical for understanding the evolution of orogenic systems. This conference represents a unique opportunity for graduate students to present their own research results within a focused scientific venue and to interact and network with scientists who are conducting innovative research on collisional orgogenic belts. Support for students in the conference will directly enhance science education through the participants increased awareness and ability to integrate field, analytical, and model based science. Participants will be in an excellent position to disseminate these ideas to the research community and the general public, and the experience will greatly enhance their future scientific careers.

本提案为学生参加美国地质学会彭罗斯会议“造山过程的联系和反馈”提供了支持，该会议将于3月30日举行，以纪念小罗伯特·d·海切尔的职业生涯。2014年4月4日在北卡罗来纳州阿什维尔。会议将提供一个论坛来综合我们对造山系统的理解，特别强调多数据集的一致集成，这些数据集表征过程联系，并协调理论数值模型与现场推导模型。例如，在许多造山带中，断层运动控制着产热物质的重新分布，驱动着平流，从而形成造山带的热结构。热结构控制着岩石圈流变，决定了变形和应变局部化的性质和分布。构造结构控制着断层运动学，它与气候一起作用，集中了侵蚀和挖掘过程。因此，明确地描述这些联系及其相关的反馈对于理解造山系统的演化至关重要。这次会议为研究生提供了一个独特的机会，让他们在一个专注的科学场所展示自己的研究成果，并与正在进行碰撞造山带创新研究的科学家进行互动和交流。在会议上对学生的支持将通过提高参与者整合领域科学、分析科学和基于模型的科学的意识和能力，直接加强科学教育。参与者将处于一个很好的位置，可以向研究界和公众传播这些想法，而且这种经历将极大地促进他们未来的科学事业。
