2015 Interior of the Earth GRC/GRS

该奖项提供资金，以帮助支持与会者的旅费，以第10届戈登研究会议上地球的内部将在山举行。2015年6月7日至12日，马萨诸塞州南哈德利的霍利奥克学院，以及6月6日至7日的戈登研究研讨会（GRS）。GRS是这个社区相对较新的场所，为早期职业生涯的个人提供了一个独特的环境，包括学生，博士后和早期职业教师，以展示和交流最先进的想法和结果。NSF的资金部分是为了吸引早期职业人士到GRS和GRC。今年将重点关注新的研究，探索内部过程对表面过程的影响，从地质构造到火山活动再到气候。具体的会议主题包括被动边缘的动力学，地幔过程和火山活动之间的联系，地球深部的挥发性循环，俯冲动力学，板块构造的起源，浅地幔地震不连续性的起源，岩石流变学和大规模构造之间的微观到宏观的联系，以及大陆岩石圈的结构和演化。

This award provides funds to help support travel costs of conference participants to the the 10th Gordon Research Conference on Earth's Interior to be held at Mt. Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts from June 7-12, 2015, and a preceding Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) from June 6-7. The GRS is a relatively new venue for this community, and provides a unique environment for early-career individuals including students, post-docs, and early career faculty to present and exchange state of the art ideas and results. NSF funds are requested in part to attract early career individuals to the GRS and GRC. This year will focus on new research that explores the influence of interior processes on surface processes ranging from tectonics to volcanism to climate. Specific session topics include the dynamics of passive margins, connections between mantle processes and volcanism, deep earth volatile cycles, subduction dynamics, the origin of plate tectonics, the origin of shallow mantle seismic discontinuities, microscopic to macroscopic connections between rock rheology and large-scale tectonics, and the structure and evolution of the continental lithosphere.
