项目摘要

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.

这项赠款提供了支持早期职业科学家和在地球科学中人数不足的人参加并参加美国地质学会彭罗斯会议的人，“地球和行星进化中爆发洪水的作用”，在华盛顿州库利市的德拉尼坎普斯营地（Camp Delany Camp Delany）在华盛顿州库利市的德拉尼坎普营地（Camp Delany Camp Delany State Park）举行。以流量为基本上超过最大气象地板可能的流量的淹没景观。火星上的爆发地板也有很好的记录。这次Penrose会议促进了一组寻求提高对爆发地板的理解的研究人员的新合作和理解。除了支持早期职业科学家的参与以及在地球科学领域的人数不足的人之外，NSF支持还可以通过一个结构化的心理机会来为参与者提供专业发展，该机构将早期职业科学家与高级科学家相匹配。这次Penrose会议的目的是将学者的潜水员社区召集在一起，讨论并辩论是在这位州立大学的Art The-Art The-Art-Art-Art The-Art-Art-Art-Art-Art of Upburs Science。会议的重点是四个链接的主题：1）引导Scabland和Missoula洪水； 2）普遍发生地球和其他行星上爆发洪水； 3）爆发洪水过程的力学； 4）更广泛的地球系统和爆发地板的社会影响。因此，对其他世界（GLOW）会议奖的地球科学课程支持对其他世界的研究，这是一种扩大和加深对地球及其进化的理解的方式，以及使用地球科学知识来了解其他世界的环境。在这个彭罗斯会议上，科学家的独特聚会集中在陆地和行星爆发地板上，促进了从陆地和行星爆发地板的研究中学到的概念和经验教训的交互作用，该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的智力效果和广泛的范围来评估了支持，并以评估了支持。
