This award provides support for travel participation of students, early-career professionals, and participants from underrepresented groups from the U.S. to attend the Geological Society of America-sponsored Penrose Conference: "Developing a new paradigm for the mid-Cretaceous to Eocene North American Cordillera: an obliquely convergent plate margin." The conference brings together~80 geoscientists to discuss the geologic history of how the margin of western North America evolved through time from 110 to 35 million years ago. This part of North America’s history involves significant (up to 4000 km) lateral (strike-slip) motion, such as that which currently occurs on the San Andreas fault. As a result, crustal blocks currently in Alaska may have existed offshore Mexico about 100 million years ago. Conference attendees will evaluate the tectonic evolution of plate margin by combining new and old ideas and the evidence that these ideas are based on. A better understanding of the ancient plate margin is important for understanding continental plate margins that are active today with similar characteristics, and the pre-existing structures that partially control recent plate tectonics. The conference brings together a diverse group of scientists that range in gender, career level, and ethnicity and will provide significant networking opportunities among these individuals, especially early-career scientists, and students.The Penrose conference will stimulate significant interaction of community members from around the world that are investigating different parts of the ca. 110–35 Ma tectonic history of the North America Cordillera and adjacent areas through a combination of field trips within Idaho, keynote presentations, and focused discussion sessions after the presentations. NSF funding will support registration and travel for students, early-career professionals, and participants from underrepresented groups from the U.S. to attend the conference. The funding also facilitates the production broadly accessible videos, livestreaming, and a public field trip organized by the. The Penrose conference will lead to the development of new ideas by a broad geoscience community about the evolution of obliquely convergent margins. A post award summary for publication in a geoscience journal will summarize key discussions, major outcomes, and the plan for future success in unraveling the tectonic history of the North American Cordillera. A professional special paper or memoir will disseminate key research contributions that arise from the conference. Finally, the conference brings together a diverse group of scientists that range in gender, career level, and ethnicity and will provide significant networking opportunities among these individuals, especially for early-career scientists, and students.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.

该奖项为学生，早期职业专业人员和来自美国人数不足的团体的参与者的旅行提供了支持，参加了美国地质学会赞助的Penrose会议：“为北美北美北美岛屿中期至始新世的北美岛屿上的新范式开发一个新的范式：一个倾斜的平板范围。”该会议汇集了约80名地球科学家，讨论了西部北美利润率如何从110年前到3500万年前发展的地质历史。北美历史的这一部分涉及大量（4000公里）的横向（滑滑）运动，例如目前发生在圣安德烈亚斯（San Andreas）断层上。结果，大约1亿年前，目前在阿拉斯加的地壳块可能存在于墨西哥海上。会议与会者将通过结合新的和旧的想法以及这些思想所基于的证据来评估板利润的构造演变。更好地理解古代板缘对于了解当今具有相似特征的连续板缘以及部分控制最近板块构造的连续板缘很重要。该会议汇集了一群众多的科学家群体，这些科学家在性别，职业层面和种族方面范围都有范围，并将在这些人，尤其是早期职业科学家和学生之间提供大量的网络机会。Penrose会议将刺激来自世界各地的社区成员的重大互动，这些社区正在调查CA的不同部分。 110–35北美科迪勒拉和邻近地区的主观历史通过在爱达荷州内的实地考察结合，主题演讲以及演讲后的重点讨论会议。 NSF资金将支持来自美国的学生，早期职业专业人士以及来自代表性不足团体的参与者参加会议的注册和旅行。这笔资金还促进了生产广泛访问的视频，直播和由The组织的公共实地考察。彭罗斯会议将导致广泛的地球科学界关于倾斜边缘的发展的新思想的发展。 《地球科学杂志》上出版的邮政奖摘要将总结关键的讨论，重大成果以及未来成功的计划，以揭示北美科迪勒拉的构造历史。专业的特别论文或回忆录将传播会议的关键研究贡献。最后，该会议汇集了一群科学家群体，这些科学家在性别，职业层面和种族方面都将在这些人（尤其是对早期职业科学家）和学生之间提供重要的网络机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估来审查审查标准的评估，被视为珍贵的支持。
