This award will support the 34th annual Himalaya-Karakoram-Tibet (HKT) workshop, which will be held in June 2019 at Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana. The workshop will bring together a diverse group of international researchers focused on various aspects of the collisional mountain belt comprised of the Himalayas, Karakoram Range, and the Tibetan Plateau. The meeting/workshop will consist of three days of oral and poster technical sessions. The workshop will be organized to maximize the exchange of ideas between participants in open discussions that focus on themes such as the crustal deformation, paleoelevation, the sedimentary record of collisional processes, neotectonics, climate and tectonic feedbacks, and future directions of research. Daily sessions will provide opportunities to query presenters, assess the current state of knowledge of Himalayan geology and tectonics, and consider productive areas for future research. Each theme session will begin with oral presentations, followed by a related poster session and informal discussions. The open structure of the meeting is designed to enhance opportunities for the exchange of ideas, including opportunities for continued discussions during breaks, meals, and evening gatherings. In addition to the technical sessions, the PI and co-PIs plan to host pre- and post-meeting field trips to view the geology of Glacier National Park, the Sawtooth Range, Yellowstone, and the Jackson regionThe Himalaya-Karakoram-Tibet workshop is designed to facilitate community building and personal interaction within the tectonics community by developing and growing the international community of researchers working on the Himalaya-Karakoram-Tibet system, by broadening participation from underrepresented groups, students, early-career scientists, and scientists from developing nations, and by communicating research between fields and to the general public. It will bring together faculty from research universities, liberal arts colleges, community and two-year colleges, and minority-serving institutions. Importantly, there will be group discussions on critical developments in Himalayan tectonics, and on potential future research directions. The workshop will create a welcoming environment for scientists from all backgrounds and implement strategies to increase accessibility and inclusion. Keynote talks will be open to the public free of charge and will be filmed and made available on YouTube. Abstracts submitted to the workshop will be published, and conference updates and the final abstract volume will be publicized on list-serves and by social media. Support for the Himalaya-Karakoram-Tibet workshop contributes to the long-term health, vitality, and infrastructure of the Earth Science community. The workshop benefits society and advances desired societal outcomes by its emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education and educator development at a variety of levels, by contributing to the training of the next generation of scientists, by contributing to the broadening of underrepresented groups in STEM, and by contributing to the advancement of scientific literacy of the public. These activities contribute to the increased economic and scientific competitiveness of the United States.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.

该奖项将支持将于2019年6月在蒙大拿州博兹曼的蒙大拿州立大学举行的第34届喜马拉雅-喀喇昆仑-西藏(HKT)年度研讨会。研讨会将汇集一批不同的国际研究人员，他们专注于喜马拉雅山脉、喀喇昆仑山脉和青藏高原组成的碰撞山带的各个方面。会议/讲习班将包括为期三天的口头和海报技术会议。举办讲习班的目的是最大限度地促进公开讨论与会者之间的思想交流，这些讨论的重点是地壳变形、古海拔、碰撞过程的沉积记录、新构造、气候和构造反馈以及未来的研究方向。日常会议将提供询问演讲者的机会，评估喜马拉雅地质和构造知识的现状，并考虑未来研究的富有成效的领域。每个主题会议将从口头陈述开始，然后是相关的海报会议和非正式讨论。会议的开放式结构旨在增加交流意见的机会，包括在休息、用餐和晚上聚会期间继续讨论的机会。除了技术会议，PI和共同PIS计划在会前和会后进行实地考察，以考察冰川国家公园、锯齿山脉、黄石和杰克逊地区的地质情况。喜马拉雅-喀喇昆仑-西藏研讨会旨在通过发展和壮大喜马拉雅-喀喇昆仑-西藏系统研究人员的国际社区，通过扩大未被充分代表的群体、学生、早期科学家和来自发展中国家的科学家的参与，以及在领域之间和公众之间交流研究，促进社区建设和构造界内的个人互动。它将汇集来自研究型大学、文理学院、社区和两年制学院以及为少数族裔服务的机构的教师。重要的是，将就喜马拉雅构造的关键发展以及未来可能的研究方向进行小组讨论。讲习班将为来自不同背景的科学家创造一个欢迎的环境，并实施战略，以增加可获得性和包容性。主旨演讲将免费向公众开放，并将被拍摄下来并在YouTube上提供。提交给研讨会的摘要将发表，会议更新和最终摘要卷将在列表服务和社交媒体上公布。对喜马拉雅-喀喇昆仑-西藏研讨会的支持有助于地球科学界的长期健康、活力和基础设施。讲习班侧重于各级的STEM(科学、技术、工程和数学)教育和教育工作者的发展，有助于培训下一代科学家，有助于扩大STEM中代表性不足的群体，并有助于提高公众的科学素养，从而造福社会并取得预期的社会成果。这些活动有助于提高美国的经济和科学竞争力。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。
