This award will partially support a conference focused on Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) planned for May 24-26, 2016, at the University of Alabama, under the sponsorship of the Microanalysis Society (MAS). EBSD is a core microanalytical technique that utilizes the diffraction of high-energy electrons to determine the orientations of crystals in natural and engineered materials. This approach has major applications in both material science and geology related to understanding everything from crystallization processes to microstructures that record geostructural deformation and affect material properties (such as strength, fracture toughness and thermal conductivity). The EBSD topical conference series has become the de facto meeting in North America for the development and application of this core microanalytical technique. This meeting?s importance is reflected in part by invited speakers from three continents (North America, Europe, and Australia) who are all at the absolute edge of development in new directions for this diffraction approach. This conference will provide a venue for ideas to be shared between the primary disciplines utilizing the technique: geoscience and materials science and engineering. The exchange of cutting-edge knowledge from these communities will facilitate dissemination of knowledge and further research developments throughout the community. Students will particularly benefit from these interactions while also having the opportunity to present their research via oral or poster presentations.

该奖项将部分支持计划于2016年5月24日至26日在亚拉巴马大学举行的电子背散射衍射（EBSD）会议，该会议由微分析学会（MAS）赞助。 EBSD是一种核心的微量分析技术，利用高能电子的衍射来确定天然和工程材料中晶体的取向。这种方法在材料科学和地质学中有着重要的应用，涉及到从结晶过程到记录地质结构变形和影响材料特性（如强度，断裂韧性和热导率）的微观结构的理解。EBSD专题会议系列已成为事实上的会议在北美的发展和应用，这一核心的微量分析技术。这次会议？来自三大洲（北美、欧洲和澳大利亚）的特邀演讲者在一定程度上反映了衍射方法的重要性，他们都处于衍射方法新方向发展的绝对边缘。本次会议将提供一个场地的想法，以利用该技术的主要学科之间共享：地球科学和材料科学与工程。来自这些社区的尖端知识的交流将促进知识的传播和整个社区的进一步研究发展。学生将特别受益于这些互动，同时也有机会通过口头或海报展示他们的研究。
