This is an award to support the participation of 20 U.S. graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and early-career investigators in the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Chapman conference that will take place in Flagstaff, AZ on March 16-20, 2020 to discuss, develop and test conceptual models of distributed volcanism. Focus by the scientific community is especially important now because of continuing growth of cities, communities, and critical infrastructure within sparsely monitored volcanic fields. Most sub-aerial volcanoes are found in widely distributed volcanic fields made up of tens to hundreds of vents, which comprise a huge range of eruption-styles and landforms – from scoria cones to calderas – and which are situated in a variety of tectonic settings. The conference will provide needed background and focus on the problem of distributed, monogenetic volcanism, summarizing current research directions. In the western U.S., widely distributed volcanic fields are virtually unmonitored. Internationally, many cities (e.g., Auckland, Mexico City) are built on geologically active distributed volcanic fields. Great strides have been made in understanding the origins of magmas in these volcanic fields, their large- scale transport across the lithosphere, and statistical models of their eruption have been developed. Yet very fundamental questions remain about this most common style of volcanism. The conference is structured to provide networking activities and related discussions as well as to introduce early career participants to some of the most fascinating volcanic fields in the western U.S. This AGU Chapman conference on distributed volcanism is structured to encourage interdisciplinary contacts and thinking, in diverse fields such as geochemistry, geophysics, and volcano science. Themes to be address are whether the geophysical monitoring techniques and models (e.g., robust seismic and deformation monitoring) developed to monitor unrest elsewhere will work in volcanic fields. Also, of interest, the conference will touch on how scientists can couple geochemical and geophysical models for magma ascent in small-volume systems. Currently, there is no community consensus on the appropriate response to unrest in volcanic fields and associated hazards, and how these differ from arc composite volcanoes. It is expected that this conference will be of great benefit to early career scientists. It is expected that they will contribute substantially to all phases of the meeting, including giving invited talks, posters, participating in workshop break-out sessions and discussions during the post-meeting field trip to the nearby Springerville volcanic field. Specifically early career scientists will benefit in three ways: (1) at the conference they will participate in discussions and presentations about the cutting-edge science happening to understand volcanic fields, (2) they will learn about collaboration opportunities with USGS colleagues, who are deeply involved in the organization of the meeting, and with international colleagues, (3) they will learn how their disciplinary research fits with other science agendas related to volcanic fields, broadening the scope and impact of their own investigations. The discussions and outcomes of the conference will have direct impact on communities living with distributed volcanism throughout the western U.S. and the 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.

这是一项奖项，旨在支持20名美国研究生，博士后研究员和早期职业研究人员参加美国地球物理联盟（AGU）查普曼会议，该会议将于2020年3月16日至2020年3月16日至2020年在亚利桑那州举行，讨论，开发和测试分布式火山主义的概念模型。现在，科学界的关注尤其重要，因为在稀疏监测的火山领域内，城市，社区和关键基础设施的持续增长。大多数亚壁式火山都在由数十到数百个通风孔组成的广泛分布的火山场中发现，这些通风孔包括大量的喷发式和地形 - 从Scoria锥到火山口，并且位于各种构造环境中。该会议将提供所需的背景，并关注分布式，单基因火山的问题，总结当前的研究方向。在美国西部，分布广泛的火山场几乎是未知的。在国际上，许多城市（例如奥克兰，墨西哥城）建立在地质活跃的火山场上。在理解这些火山场，它们在整个岩石圈的大规模运输中，已经开发出了岩浆的起源，并开发了其喷发的统计模型。然而，关于这种最常见的火山风格仍然存在非常基本的问题。该会议的结构旨在提供网络活动和相关讨论，并将早期的职业参与者介绍到美国西部的一些最迷人的火山领域，这次AGU查普曼分布式火山主义会议的结构是鼓励跨学科的接触和思考，例如地球化学，地球物理学和火山科学等潜水领域。要解决的主题是地球物理监测技术和模型（例如，强大的地震和变形监测）是否开发了用于监测其他地方的动荡的主题。同样，有趣的是，该会议还将涉及科学家如何在小批量系统中与岩浆上升的地球化学和地球物理模型相结合。当前，在火山场和相关危害中对动荡的适当反应以及这些与ARC复合火山有何不同的社区共识。预计这次会议将对早期职业科学家带来巨大好处。预计他们将为会议的所有阶段做出基本贡献，包括在近乎斯普林维尔火山领域的会议后进行探讨，参加邀请的会谈，海报，参加研讨会的分手会议和讨论。 Specifically early career scientists will benefit in three ways: (1) at the conference they will participate in discussions and presentations about the cutting-edge science happening to understand volcanic fields, (2) they will learn about collaboration opportunities with USGS colleagues, who are deeply involved in the organization of the meeting, and with international colleagues, (3) they will learn how their disciplinary research fits with other science agendas related to volcanic fields, broadening the scope and impact of他们自己的调查。会议的讨论和成果将直接影响美国西部和世界各地具有分销火山的社区。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估审查标准，被认为是通过评估而被视为珍贵的支持。
