The project provides for travel and registration costs for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to attend the 2018 Gordon Research Conference Seminar on Integrated Approaches to Rock Deformation. The conference will be held at Proctor Academy in Andover, New Hampshire from August 19th to the 24th, 2018. In additional to the conference itself, there will be a Research Seminar the weekend prior (August 18th, 19th), which will focus on research contributions from early career researchers. The activities supported by this proposal include cutting-edge present cutting-edge research that spans a range of methodologies and materials, over a variety of spatial and temporal scales, to develop an integrated perspective on rock deformation. The program will showcase recent advances and future trends in rock deformation and applications in structural geology, seismology, geodesy, geodynamics, planetary geology, and energy & environmental engineering. The GRS provides a unique opportunity for early-career scientists to come together in a highly stimulating and non-intimidating environment to discuss current research and build networks that can lead to a lifetime of collaboration and scientific achievement. In addition, the project will contribute to broadening of participation of underrepresented groups in science, technology, and mathematics (STEM) through recruitment of participants from underrepresented groups. The Gordon Research Conference and associated Gordon Research Seminar will foster development of new research directions in rock mechanics and will contribute to the development of a diverse and globally competitive STEM workforce. The conference program includes topics of societal relevance that bear on the understanding of geologic hazards, which is of benefit to society.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目为研究生和博士后研究人员提供旅行和注册费用，以参加2018年戈登研究会议岩石变形综合方法研讨会。会议将于2018年8月19日至24日在新罕布什尔州安多弗的普罗克特学院举行。除了会议本身，将有一个研究研讨会的前一个周末（8月18日，19日），这将侧重于从早期职业研究人员的研究贡献。这项建议所支持的活动包括目前的尖端研究，这些研究涵盖了各种空间和时间尺度上的一系列方法和材料，以发展对岩石变形的综合观点。该计划将展示岩石变形的最新进展和未来趋势，以及在结构地质学，地震学，大地测量学，地球动力学，行星地质学和能源环境工程中的应用。GRS为早期职业科学家提供了一个独特的机会，让他们在一个高度刺激和非恐吓的环境中聚集在一起，讨论当前的研究并建立网络，从而实现终生的合作和科学成就。此外，该项目还将通过从代表性不足的群体中招募参与者，促进代表性不足的群体更多地参与科学、技术和数学（STEM）。戈登研究会议和相关的戈登研究研讨会将促进岩石力学新研究方向的发展，并将有助于发展多元化和具有全球竞争力的STEM劳动力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
