A Workshop for Cooperative Studies of Earth's Deep Interior

对地球深层内部的研究是一项多学科和国际活动。地球深部合作研究（CSEDI）计划是在20世纪90年代构想的，旨在促进美国研究人员在这一领域的多学科研究活动。该研究计划的最后一次更新是在2004年。在过去的十年中，许多进展使得现在是深地社区重新审视CSEDI科学计划和阐明CSEDI计划未来方向的好时机。该奖项将于2015年1月支持一个社区范围的研讨会。对地球深层内部的研究为我们了解地球演变到现在的状态提供了关键，并告诉我们它对气候、水圈和生物圈的作用和深刻影响。提议的讲习班将围绕以下主题和分主题提供多学科讨论的机会：(1)地球和行星的演化，通往现在的道路：初始条件；行星形成;早期的生活;早期构造格局；热演化。(2)深部地球发动机现状与动态：主要界面结构与成因；发电机;地幔大尺度流动模式；核心结构。(3)对气候/水圈/生物圈及未来的深层影响：挥发物的作用；融化;质量和热通量。还将讨论研究基础设施和社区组织在CSEDI中的作用。打破障碍进行真正的多学科研究对于提高我们对地球运行方式的理解尤为重要。拟议的研讨会将吸引CSEDI社区的各个层次，从早期职业研究人员到高级参与者，他们充分意识到地球研究在他们的职业生涯中有多深。它不仅将评估我们的科学在哪里，而且还将考虑如何最好地开展多学科科学来解决我们面临的问题。深地主题对公众也有很强的吸引力，因为它们包括从地球增生到地磁场起源的时间尺度上的行星演化，早期生命的发展，大火成岩省的形成以及与火山过程和气候变化有关的当今危害。

Study of Earth's deep interior is a multidisciplinary and international activity. The Cooperative Studies of Earth's Deep Interior (CSEDI) program was conceived in the 1990s to facilitate multidisciplinary research activities in this area by US researchers. The last update to the research plan was produced in 2004. Numerous advances over the past decade make this a good time for the deep Earth community to revisit the CSEDI science plan and articulate future directions for the CSEDI program. This award will support a community-wide workshop in January 2015. Studies of Earth's deep interior provide the key to the evolution of our planet to its present state, and inform us about its role and deep impacts on climate the hydrosphere and biosphere. The proposed workshop will provide the opportunity for multidisciplinary discussions around the following themes and subtopics:(1) Evolution of Earth and Planets, Path to the Present: Initial Conditions; Planetary Formation; Early Life; Early Tectonic Regimes; Thermal evolution.(2) Deep Earth Engine, Present state and dynamics: Structure and Origin of Major interfaces; Geodynamo; Pattern of large scale flow in the Mantle; Core structure.(3) Deep Impacts on Climate/Hydrosphere/ Biosphere and the Future: Role of volatiles; melt; mass and heat fluxes.The role of research infrastructure and community organizations in CSEDI will also be discussed.Breaking down barriers to doing truly multidisciplinary research is particularly important for improving our understanding of the way the Earth works. The proposed workshop will engage the CSEDI community at all levels from early career researchers to senior participants fully aware of how deep earth research has evolved over their careers. It will not only evaluate where our science is, but will also consider the question of how best to do multidisciplinary science to solve the problems that face us. Deep Earth topics also have a strong appeal to the public, since they include planetary evolution on time scales ranging from accretion of the Earth through origin of the geomagnetic field, development of early life, formation of Large Igneous Provinces and present day hazards related to volcanic process and climate change.
