This travel award will provide support for six early career scientists from the U.S. to attend an international Chapman conference on Arctic magmatism. The purpose of the conference is to synthesize understanding of geology and geophysics of the Arctic Ocean and the surrounding continents and to identify areas ripe for future research. To inform the broader scientific community, the organizers will publish a white paper summarizing these points and also will hold a post-conference session at the American Geophysical Union's Fall 2020 meeting. This project ensures early career scientists from the U.S. will be able to participate in an upcoming AGU Chapman Conference in Selfoss, Iceland, Large-scale Volcanism in the Arctic: The Role of the Mantle and Tectonics. It will focus on five themes: 1) Pre-breakup rifting; 2) seafloor spreading; 3) mantle-derived heterogeneity (including plumes and large-igneous provinces); 4) subduction related volcanism; and 5) High Arctic Large Igneous Province and environmental effects extending from the Paleozoic to the present day.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.

这项旅行奖将为6名来自美国的早期职业科学家提供支持，让他们参加查普曼关于北极岩浆作用的国际会议。这次会议的目的是综合了解北冰洋和周围大陆的地质和地球物理情况，并确定今后进行研究的成熟领域。为了向更广泛的科学界提供信息，组织者将发布一份白皮书，总结这些观点，并将在美国地球物理联盟2020年秋季会议上举行会议后会议。该项目确保来自美国的早期职业科学家将能够参加即将在冰岛塞尔福斯举行的AGU Chapman会议，即北极大规模火山：地幔和构造的作用。它将集中于五个主题：1)分裂前的裂谷作用；2)海底扩张；3)地幔衍生的非均质性(包括羽流和大型火成岩省)；4)与俯冲有关的火山作用；以及5)北极高地大火成岩省及其从古生代到现在的环境影响。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。
