This award will support the attendance of 20 early-career scientists to the inaugural Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on the topic of Deep Carbon Science that will take place at Bryant University, RI, on June 18-21, 2018. Deep Carbon Science addresses the important role played by Earth's interior in mediating the availability of carbon to surface reservoirs, helping incubate and shelter life. The conference will convene a highly interdisciplinary group of scientists who work in different subtopics related to the role of carbon in the Earth System. The support will be used to assist with registration fees for early career attendees, with the particular goal of promoting participation of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in this emerging field of research.Carbon is one of the most important elements in and on Earth. The presence of carbon on the Earth's surface over its history as a planet has impacted the global climate system, the origin and evolution of life, and the distribution of carbon-based energy resources. However, the solid Earth likely contains substantially more carbon than is present at the surface, and transfers into and out of the deep reservoirs control the size and extent of surface carbon sinks. Although deep carbon exerts a fundamental control on the operation of Earth's well-studied surface carbon cycle, we have a limited understanding of carbon's sources, sinks, transfers and quantities below the surface. Scientists from a wide range of disciplines, including geosciences, biology, materials science, physics, and chemistry, will convene at this conference to address how carbon operates in a planetary context. This cross-disciplinary forum for discussions will foster the emerging field of deep carbon science by strengthening the community of deep carbon scientists, while providing a vital recurring outlet for exciting new deep carbon science. The Gordon Conference represents an excellent opportunity for building diversity in the geo- and biosciences. The conference will engage early career scientists, including graduate students, postdocs, and assistant professors, in an important forum that can have important positive career impacts.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.

该奖项将支持20名初出茅庐的科学家参加首届戈登研究会议(GRC)，该会议主题为深度碳科学，将于2018年6月18日至21日在密歇根州布莱恩特大学举行。深度碳科学致力于地球内部在调节碳对地表水库的可获得性、帮助孵化和保护生命方面发挥的重要作用。这次会议将召集一个高度跨学科的科学家小组，他们致力于与碳在地球系统中的作用有关的不同分主题。这笔支持将用于帮助早期职业参与者支付注册费，特别是为了促进研究生和博士后学者参与这个新兴的研究领域。碳是地球上最重要的元素之一。在地球历史上，地球表面碳的存在影响了全球气候系统、生命的起源和进化以及碳基能源的分布。然而，固体地球含有的碳可能比表面存在的要多得多，进入和流出深层储存层的碳控制着地表碳汇的大小和范围。尽管深层碳对地球表面碳循环的运行起着根本性的控制作用，但我们对地表下碳的来源、汇、转移和数量的了解有限。来自地球科学、生物学、材料科学、物理和化学等多个学科的科学家将在这次会议上讨论碳在全球范围内的运作方式。这个跨学科的讨论论坛将通过加强深层碳科学家社区的力量来促进新兴的深层碳科学领域，同时为令人兴奋的新深层碳科学提供一个重要的经常性渠道。戈登会议是在地球和生物科学领域建立多样性的绝佳机会。会议将邀请早期职业科学家，包括研究生、博士后和助理教授，参加一个可能对职业生涯产生重要积极影响的重要论坛。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
