This project provides funds for meeting costs, childcare, and travel support for students, early-career faculty, and scientists to attend the Heavy Mineral Analysis in Solving Tectonic Problems workshop. The workshop will be held at the Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences at the University of Iowa on November 21-24, 2020. This workshop is important to the community through providing an interactive venue to present focused, cutting-edge research. The workshop will present an opportunity for U.S.-based researchers interested in solving tectonic problems through provenance analysis to gain new skillsets that represent departures from, as well as complementing, traditional provenance approaches, such as detrital zircon geochronology. Workshop themes will include the effects of source rock lithologies, climate, hydraulic sorting, weathering, and lithification on detrital signatures, and future directions of research in this field. The workshop will provide opportunities to discuss ideas and build networks in symposia and during laboratory time in afternoons, and opportunities for interactions during and after conference hours. The workshop will foster development of new research directions in solving tectonic problems through provenance analysis and will contribute to the development of a diverse and globally competitive STEM workforce. Workshop participants will receive funding based on criteria such as membership of underrepresented groups, financial need, diversity of type of institutions, and geographic distribution. Conference organizers will submit a conference report to AGU’s EOS publication and possibly also to GSA Today. The conference program will include topics of broad community relevance, which could be of benefit to society.This project is co-funded by the Tectonics and Sedimentary Geology and Paleobiology programs in the Division of Earth Sciences.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.

该项目为学生，早期职业教师和科学家提供会议费用，儿童保育和旅行支持的资金，以参加解决构造问题的重矿物分析研讨会。研讨会将于2020年11月21日至24日在爱荷华州大学地球环境科学系举行。该研讨会通过提供一个互动场所来展示重点突出的前沿研究，对社区非常重要。该研讨会将为美国提供一个机会-研究人员有兴趣通过物源分析解决构造问题，以获得新的技能，代表偏离，以及补充，传统的物源方法，如碎屑锆石地质年代学。研讨会的主题将包括源岩岩性，气候，水力分选，风化作用和岩石化作用对碎屑特征的影响，以及该领域未来的研究方向。研讨会将提供机会，在专题讨论会和下午的实验室时间讨论想法和建立网络，并有机会在会议期间和之后进行互动。该研讨会将通过起源分析促进解决构造问题的新研究方向的发展，并将有助于发展多元化和具有全球竞争力的STEM劳动力。讲习班参与者将根据代表性不足的群体的成员资格、财政需求、机构类型的多样性和地理分布等标准获得资助。会议组织者将向AGU的EOS出版物提交会议报告，也可能向GSA今天提交。会议计划将包括广泛的社区相关性，这可能是有益于社会的主题。这个项目是共同资助的构造和沉积地质学和古生物学计划在地球科学部。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得的支持，通过评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
