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.

该项目为参加2018年戈登岩石变形综合方法研究会议的研究生和博士后研究人员提供旅费和注册费。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，在之前的周末（8月18日至19日）还将举行一场研究研讨会，重点关注早期职业研究人员的研究贡献。本提案支持的活动包括在各种空间和时间尺度上跨越一系列方法和材料的前沿研究，以开发岩石变形的综合视角。该项目将展示岩石变形的最新进展和未来趋势，以及在构造地质学、地震学、大地测量学、地球动力学、行星地质学和能源与环境工程方面的应用。GRS为早期职业科学家提供了一个独特的机会，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，并建立可以导致终身合作和科学成就的网络。此外，该项目将通过招募来自代表性不足群体的参与者，为扩大代表性不足群体在科学、技术和数学（STEM）领域的参与做出贡献。Gordon研究会议和相关的Gordon研究研讨会将促进岩石力学新研究方向的发展，并将有助于培养多样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，这些主题与了解地质灾害有关，这对社会有益。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并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。
