Conference: Interior of the Earth Gordon Research Conference and Seminar

该奖项将部分支持2023年地球内部戈登研究会议（GRC）。本次GRC将是地球内部系列会议的第13次会议，重点关注地球内部的结构、动力学和演化。这次会议将汇集来自地球科学各个分支学科的科学家，包括地球化学、地球动力学、矿物物理学、岩石变形、地震学和岩石学。我们已经要求资金帮助支持早期职业会议参与者（研究生，博士后科学家和早期职业教师）的旅行费用。GRC将于2023年6月18日至23日在马萨诸塞州南哈德利的霍利奥克山学院举行，并将于6月17日至18日在同一地点与戈登研究研讨会（GRS）一起举行。GRS的目标受众是研究生和博士后学者，并为这些早期职业科学家提供了一个独特的环境，以展示和交流最先进的思想和结果。该奖项提供的旅行支持将有助于资助早期职业科学家参加GRS和/或GRC的会议出席。2023年GRC的主题是“地幔和地核的物质特性及其对地球演化的制约、原因和后果”。这一主题将吸引从事地球内部从岩石圈地幔到地核的一系列深度研究的科学家，并将通过构成其地幔和地核的材料的特性来讨论地球内部的结构和动力学。了解这些特性——例如，流变性、组成、弹性和热行为——是了解地球内部运作的关键。会议将包括强调新（未发表的结果）的主题演讲以及海报展示，这将为参与者（特别是早期职业科学家）提供以海报形式展示他们工作的机会。以“岩浆海洋时期至今地球内部结构的演变”为主题的GRS将极大地促进年轻科学家的交流。在构建方案和为会议做广告时，我们已经意识到在许多方面的多样性。我们特别强调给早期职业科学家演讲的机会；有相当比例的早期职业研究人员和首次与会者作为主题演讲者和讨论领袖，将鼓励全球深部地球研究人员社区的更多参与。之前的GRS会议将包括一个指导会议，重点是地球科学领域的沟通和职业。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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 award will partially support the 2023 Interior of the Earth Gordon Research Conference (GRC). This GRC will be the 13th in a series of Interior of the Earth conferences that focus on the structure, dynamics, and evolution of the Earth’s interior. This meeting will bring together scientists from a wide range of subdisciplines within Earth sciences, including geochemistry, geodynamics, mineral physics, rock deformation, seismology, and petrology. We have requested funds to help support travel costs of early-career conference participants (graduate students, postdoctoral scientists, and early-career faculty). The GRC will take place at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts from June 18-23, 2023 and will be held in conjunction with a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) from June 17-18 at the same venue. The GRS is aimed at an audience of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars and provides a unique environment for these early-career scientists to present and exchange state of the art ideas and results. The travel support provided by this award will help to fund conference attendance for early-career scientists to attend the GRS and/or the GRC.The theme of the 2023 GRC is “Material Properties of the Mantle and Core and their Constraints, Causes and Consequences for Earth Evolution.” This theme will engage scientists who work on a range of depths within the Earth, from the lithospheric mantle to the core, and will enable discussion on the structure and dynamics of the Earth’s interior through the prism of the properties of the materials that make up its mantle and core. Understanding these properties – for example, rheology, composition, elasticity, and thermal behavior – is key for understanding the inner workings of our planet. The conference will encompass keynote talks that emphasize new (unpublished results) as well as poster presentations, which will provide the opportunity for participants (particularly early-career scientists) to present their work in poster format. Networking by younger scientists will be greatly facilitated by the preceding GRS, which has the theme “Evolution of the Interior Structure of Earth from the Magma Ocean Stage to the Present.” In constructing the program and in advertising for the meeting, we have been conscious of diversity along a number of dimensions. We have placed particular emphasis on giving speaking opportunities to early-career scientists; having a significant proportion of early-career researchers and first-time attendees as Keynote Speakers and Discussion Leaders will encourage greater participation across the global community of deep Earth researchers. The preceding GRS meeting will include a mentorship session that focuses on communication and careers in Earth Science.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.
