2019 Geochronology Gordon Research Conference

首届地质年代学戈登研究会议将于2019年8月在新罕布什尔州沃特维尔举行。这次会议将吸引不同职业阶段的科学家，汇报跨学科研究和发展新的合作。大会强调当前的地质年代学能力及其在各种古生物学问题上的应用。此外，这次会议将包括一个重要的深度时间视角，这将不可避免地导致新的见解和未来的研究方向，既新颖又及时。该奖项将支持18名早期职业科学家的参与。该项目的目标是支持18名参与者的旅行和会议费用。其中8位是受邀演讲者，他们处于职业生涯的早期阶段，他们将在科学会议上得到强调，并在会议上担任导师。另外10名早期职业参与者将获得旅费支持，以便他们能够参加会议。这项支援的申请程序将通过已建立的邮件列表和网站尽可能广泛地公布。项目组织者已经计划了一些指导活动，包括GRC赞助的女性科学“力量时刻”。最后，参与者将有机会与来自各个领域的专家互动，学习最前沿的方法和方法，并为未来的研究建立他们的合作者网络。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。

The inaugural Geochronology Gordon Research Conference will be held in Waterville, NH, in August 2019. The meeting will pull in a diverse group of scientists who are at different careers stages to report on cross disciplinary research and develop new collaborations. The congress has a strong emphasis on current geochronological capabilities and their application to a variety of paleontological problems. Further, this meeting will include an important deep-time perspective that will inevitably lead to new insight and future research directions that are both novel and timely. This award will support the participation of 18 early career scientists.The goal of this project is to support travel and meeting expenses for 18 participants. Eight are invited speakers, who are early in their careers and they will be highlighted in the scientific sessions and serve as mentors at the conference. An additional 10 early career participants will be selected to receive travel support so that they can attend the meeting. Announcement of the application procedure for this support will be broadcast as widely as possible through established mailing lists and websites. The program organizers have planned mentoring events, including a GRC sponsored women in science "power hour". Finally, participants will have the opportunity to interact with experts from across the field, to learn cutting edge methods and approaches, and to build their network of collaborators for future research.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.
