This award is to support and enable students to attend the International Sedimentological Congress (ISC), a global meeting devoted to sedimentary geology. The meeting convenes every four years and will be held this year in Quebec City, Canada. This is first time since 1982 that this international meeting is being held in North America. It is expected that more than 2000 professional sedimentary geologists from throughout the world will be in attendance. During the five-day meeting, participants will have the opportunity to interact with one another through both formal and informal oral and poster presentations. The program also features a series of workshops that include presentations and opportunities for dialog that will allow for synthesis and collaboration between researchers across disciplines and across broad geographic regions. There are a series of midweek, pre-meeting, and post-meeting field trips and short courses offered that are designed to provide training in cutting-edge approaches to data analyses and to foster communication. Students funded will include both undergraduate and graduate students from across the various sedimentary geology disciplines. Underrepresented minorities, women and persons with disabilities will be especially encouraged to submit applications to receive this travel support.Studying aspects of the sedimentary crust of the earth is a vibrant discipline that includes such currently relevant topics as the tempo and mode of life on earth, the physical processes that control erosion and deposition of sediments; the stratigraphic record of environmental perturbations, and the preservation of the stratigraphic record. It is a completely interdisciplinary field of study that includes researchers from biology, physics, stratigraphy, geochronology, geochemistry, and modeling. The 20th ISC meeting will uniquely contribute to the geological sciences because it will bring together the global community of sedimentary geologists, of all career stages, to share their research methods, findings and experiences in the field. Unlike other meetings attended by sedimentary geologists (e.g. Geological Society of America, International Association of Sedimentologists, SEPM Society for Sedimentary Geology), ISC attracts a large, diverse, global cross section of sedimentary geologists (e.g. European, North American, Asia- Pacific, Eastern Europe, African, etc.), but is still a small enough venue for critical networking to occur across subfields. This will lead to new opportunities for collaboration and the creation of novel approaches to studying our world.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.

这个奖项是为了支持和使学生能够参加国际沉积学大会(ISC)，这是一个致力于沉积地质学的全球会议。会议每四年召开一次，今年将在加拿大魁北克市举行。这是自1982年以来，这一国际会议首次在北美举行。预计将有来自世界各地的2000多名专业沉积地质学家出席。在为期五天的会议期间，与会者将有机会通过正式和非正式的口头和海报演示相互交流。该计划还包括一系列研讨会，其中包括演讲和对话机会，这将允许跨学科和广泛地理区域的研究人员之间的综合和合作。提供了一系列周中、会前和会后实地考察和短期课程，旨在提供关于数据分析的前沿方法的培训，并促进沟通。资助的学生将包括来自不同沉积地质学学科的本科生和研究生。将特别鼓励代表人数不足的少数群体、妇女和残疾人提交申请，以获得这项旅行支助。研究地球沉积地壳的各个方面是一门充满活力的学科，其中包括目前相关的主题，如地球上的生活节奏和模式、控制沉积物侵蚀和沉积的物理过程、环境扰动的地层记录以及地层记录的保存。这是一个完全跨学科的研究领域，包括来自生物学、物理学、地层学、地质年代学、地球化学和建模的研究人员。第20届国际地质科学委员会会议将对地质科学作出独特的贡献，因为它将把各个职业阶段的全球沉积地质学家聚集在一起，分享他们在这一领域的研究方法、发现和经验。与沉积地质学家参加的其他会议(例如美国地质学会、国际沉积学家协会、SEPM沉积地质学学会)不同，ISC吸引了大量、多样化的全球沉积地质学家(例如欧洲、北美、亚太、东欧、非洲等)，但仍然是一个足够小的场所，可以在各个子领域进行关键的联网。这将带来新的合作机会和研究我们世界的新方法。这一奖项反映了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。
