Conference: GLOW: Support for the 2023 Penrose Conference on the role of outburst floods in Earth and planetary evolution

该补助金提供资金，以支持早期职业科学家和那些谁是在地球科学代表性不足出席并参加美国彭罗斯会议地质学会，“在地球和行星演化爆发洪水的作用，”在营地德拉尼华盛顿州立公园举行库利市，华盛顿州，在2023年6月5日至9日。爆发性洪水是指由蓄水水体决口造成的非常大的洪水事件，其流速可能大大超过最大气象洪水的可能性。在火星上爆发的洪水也有很好的记录。本次彭罗斯会议使不同的研究人员能够进行新的合作和理解，以促进对突发洪水的理解。除了支持早期职业科学家和那些在地球科学领域代表性不足的人的参与外，NSF的支持还通过将早期职业科学家与高级科学家相匹配的结构化指导机会为参与者提供专业发展。本次彭罗斯会议的目标是汇集不同的学者社区，讨论和辩论最先进的技术，并绘制突发洪水科学的未来。会议重点关注四个相关主题：1）黑死病和米苏拉洪水; 2）地球和其他行星上爆发洪水的普遍发生; 3）爆发洪水过程的力学;以及4）更广泛的地球系统和爆发洪水的社会影响。因此，这个地球科学的教训，并从其他世界（GLOW）会议奖支持其他世界的研究作为一种方式来扩大和加深对地球及其演变的理解，以及利用地球科学知识来了解其他世界的环境。在彭罗斯会议上，关注地球和行星爆发洪水的科学家的独特聚会促进了相互作用，促进了概念的交叉施肥以及从地球和行星爆发洪水研究中吸取的经验教训。该奖项反映了NSF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。

This grant provides funding to support early career scientists and those who are underrepresented in the geosciences to attend and participate in the Geological Society of America Penrose Conference, “The Role of Outburst Floods in Earth and Planetary Evolution,” held at Camp Delany Washington State Park in Coulee City, WA, on June 5-9, 2023. Outburst floods refer to very large flooding events, caused by breaches of impounded water bodies, that inundate landscapes with flow rates that may substantially exceed what is possible for the largest meteorological floods. Outburst floods are also well documented on Mars. This Penrose Conference enables new collaborations and understanding across a diverse set of researchers seeking to advance understanding of outburst floods. In addition to supporting participation by early career scientists and those who are underrepresented in the geosciences, NSF support enables professional development for participants through a structured mentoring opportunity that matches early career scientists with senior scientists.The objective of this Penrose Conference is to bring together a diverse community of scholars to discuss and debate the state-of-the-art and chart the future of outburst flood science. The conference is focused on four linked themes: 1) Channeled Scabland and the Missoula Floods; 2) universal occurrence of outburst floods on Earth and other planets; 3) mechanics of outburst flood processes; and 4) broader Earth system and societal implications of outburst floods. As such, this Geoscience Lessons for and from Other Worlds (GLOW) conference award supports the study of other worlds as a way to broaden and deepen understanding of the Earth and its evolution, as well as the use of geoscience knowledge to understand the environments of other worlds. The unique gathering of scientists focused on terrestrial and planetary outburst floods at this Penrose Conference fosters interactions that promote the cross-fertilization of concepts and lessons learned from studies of both terrestrial and planetary outburst floods.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.
