The project will fund 15 early career scientists to attend the SEG-AGU workshop on the Geophysics of Convergent Margins being held at the University of Washington’s campus, in Seattle, WA from July 12-14 2022. These scientists will have the opportunity to network, present, and collaborate with other scientists who are studying different geophysical techniques and methods to understand the processes happening at subduction zones. Convergent plate margins are important to further our understanding and imaging of, as these tectonic environments (1) host the largest and most destructive earthquakes and related tsunamis, as well as the largest volcanic eruptions on Earth and (2) are accompanied by large onshore/offshore basins that are suitable for geothermal and hydrocarbon natural resources. They also (3) represent natural laboratories to study fundamental cycles of the Earth System (e.g. carbon, water, etc.) and the fluid exchange between the Earth and the oceans. Convergent plate margins are one of the more challenging research environments due to their structural complexity and their dynamic evolution on geologically short time scales. Over the last decade, the development of geophysical imaging and monitoring techniques as well as numerical and laboratory modeling have been proven useful to unravel some of the complexity of subduction zone processes. This funding will be used to aid early career scientists to travel to a conference focusing on these important topics.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.

该项目将资助15名早期职业科学家参加2022年7月12日至14日在华盛顿州西雅图的华盛顿大学校园举行的SEG-AGU收敛边缘地球物理学研讨会。 这些科学家将有机会与正在研究不同地球物理技术和方法的其他科学家建立网络，并与他们合作，以了解俯冲带发生的过程。会聚板块边缘对于进一步理解和成像非常重要，因为这些构造环境（1）承载着地球上最大和最具破坏性的地震和相关海啸，以及最大的火山爆发，（2）伴随着适合地热和碳氢化合物天然资源的大型陆上/海上盆地。它们也是研究地球系统基本循环（如碳、水等）的天然实验室。以及地球和海洋之间的流体交换。会聚板块边缘由于其结构的复杂性和在地质学短时间尺度上的动态演化，是一个更具挑战性的研究环境。在过去十年中，地球物理成像和监测技术以及数值和实验室建模的发展已被证明有助于揭示俯冲带过程的某些复杂性。 这笔资金将用于帮助早期的职业科学家前往一个会议集中在这些重要的主题。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得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的支持。
