Advances in disciplinary tools and major infrastructure efforts have fueled impressive progress in our ability to understand the dynamics of plate boundaries and the associated hazards to life and infrastructure. New data sets and new methodologies offer valuable insights, yet many aspects of plate boundary evolution are still poorly understood. Part of the impediment to progress is due to the disciplinary nature of research. A more integrated approach that leverages the knowledge and latest achievements in each of the relevant disciplines is needed to generate new ideas and to identify new observations that distinguish between competing hypotheses. This award supports a summer program for the Cooperative Institute for Dynamic Earth Research (CIDER) on the GeoPRISMS-driven theme of fluid and magma transport. CIDER seeks to lower barriers to integrated research by promoting cross-disciplinary education of researchers at all career levels. The team also intend to develop a workforce that can more effectively engage in interdisciplinary research with the goal of enabling more rapid progress on an important and unsolved research problem.The proposed four-week summer program brings together a cohort of senior graduate students and postdocs from institutions across the country to tackle the fundamental questions about the evolution of plate boundaries. This topic is central to the basic paradigm of plate tectonics and understanding the role of fluids and magma has been a long-standing challenge. Senior participants from various US institutions, and representing a range of disciplines, serve as instructors and mentors for group research projects. The first two weeks of the program are devoted to lectures and tutorials, covering the basic tools and approaches of the various disciplines. The second two weeks are used to develop research projects in groups with a good mix of disciplinary expertise. The outcome will be a better understanding of plate boundaries, including key questions about the cycling of water and carbon through the Earth system, which regulates the long-term stability of climate.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.

纪律工具和重大基础设施工作的进步推动了我们在了解板块边界的动态及其对生命和基础设施的相关危害方面取得的令人印象深刻的进展。新的数据集和新的方法提供了有价值的见解，但板块边界演化的许多方面仍然知之甚少。阻碍进展的部分原因是研究的学科性质。需要一种更综合的方法，利用每个相关学科的知识和最新成就来产生新的想法，并确定区分相互竞争的假设的新的观察结果。该奖项支持动力地球合作研究所(CIPDER)关于GeoPRISMS驱动的流体和岩浆运输主题的夏季项目。苹果酒寻求通过促进所有职业水平的研究人员的跨学科教育来降低综合研究的门槛。该团队还打算培养一支能够更有效地从事跨学科研究的劳动力队伍，目标是在一个重要且尚未解决的研究问题上取得更快的进展。拟议的为期四周的暑期项目汇集了来自全国各地机构的一批高级研究生和博士后，以解决有关板块边界演变的根本问题。这一主题是板块构造学基本范式的核心，理解流体和岩浆的作用一直是一个长期的挑战。来自美国不同机构的资深参与者代表着一系列学科，担任团队研究项目的导师和导师。课程的前两周是讲课和教程，涵盖了不同学科的基本工具和方法。第二个两周是用来开发研究项目的小组，与学科专业知识的良好组合。结果将是更好地了解板块边界，包括关于水和碳在地球系统中循环的关键问题，这调节着气候的长期稳定。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。
