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参加 2018 年戈登研究会议岩石变形综合方法研讨会的旅费和注册费用。该会议将于 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。除了会议本身之外，前一个周末（8 月 18 日、19 日）还将举办一个研究研讨会，重点关注早期职业研究人员的研究贡献。该提案支持的活动包括当前最前沿的研究，涵盖一系列方法和材料，在各种空间和时间尺度上，以形成关于岩石变形的综合视角。该计划将展示岩石变形及其在结构地质学、地震学、大地测量学、地球动力学、行星地质学以及能源与环境工程中的应用的最新进展和未来趋势。 GRS 为处于职业生涯早期的科学家提供了一个独特的机会，让他们在一个高度刺激且无威胁的环境中聚集在一起，讨论当前的研究并建立可以带来终生合作和科学成就的网络。此外，该项目还将通过招募代表性不足群体的参与者，促进扩大代表性不足群体对科学、技术和数学（STEM）的参与。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，并将有助于培养多元化和具有全球竞争力的 STEM 劳动力。会议计划包括与社会相关的主题，这些主题涉及对地质灾害的理解，这对社会有益。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
