Conference: SEDI 2024

该奖项将部分支持将于2024年6月23-28日在马萨诸塞州大巴灵顿的西蒙岩石学院举行的第18届地球深部研究研讨会(SEDI)。SEDI是国际大地测量和地球物理联合会(IUGG)、国际地磁学和大气学会(IAGA)、国际地震学和地球内部物理协会(IASPEI)以及国际火山学和地球内部化学协会(IAVCEI)的一个跨领域联盟委员会。会议将促进对地球深部随时间推移的热、化学和动力学状态的了解，以及对地球表面观察到的结构和过程的影响。该奖项将为出席会议的美国初学者提供旅行支持。SEDI是一个致力于研究地球深部的国际科学组织。其主要活动是每两年举行一次会议，由于其规模和会议结构相对较小，因此为讨论最新成果和更紧迫的科学问题提供了充足的时间。由于公开讨论、跨学科性质和国际参与，这些会议对初级研究人员特别有成效，包括研究生、博士后和那些没有永久职位的人。将广泛征求支持申请，并将根据申请者的摘要和他们的情况说明来支持他们。这笔赠款还将支持有限数量的本科生参加会议，特别是那些来自传统上在地球科学中代表性较低的群体的本科生。2024年SEDI会议将包括八个会议，按地球内部的层和边界层组织，适用于其他行星和卫星。因此，时间表的结构将来自地球科学多个分学科的科学家聚集在一起，他们专注于系统的结构和动力学。会议感兴趣的科学问题和问题包括核和地幔的结构和动力学，核-地幔相互作用和深部地球化学库的性质和位置，极端条件下的材料特性，地磁发电机和地球和古磁学，以及地球深部的演化。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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 18th symposium for Study of Earth’s Deep Interior (SEDI), to be held at Simon’s Rock College in Great Barrington, MA June 23-28, 2024. SEDI is a cross-cutting union commission of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA), the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth’s Interior (IASPEI), and the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth’s Interior (IAVCEI). The meeting will promote understanding of the thermal, chemical, and dynamical state of the Earth’s deep interior through time, and of the effect that the interior has on structures and processes observed at the surface of the Earth. The award will provide travel support US-based beginning investigators to attend the meeting. SEDI is an international scientific organization dedicated to the Study of the Earth’s Deep Interior. Its primary activity is a biennial meeting, which, because of its relatively small size and meeting structure, provides ample time for discussion of the latest results and more pressing scientific questions. Because of the open discussion, cross-disciplinary nature, and international attendance, the meetings are particularly productive for beginning investigators, including graduate students, post-docs, and those without a permanent position. Applications for support will be broadly solicited and applicants will be supported based on their abstracts and a statement of their situation. The grant will also support a limited number of undergraduates, especially those from groups traditionally underrepresented in geoscience, to attend the meeting. The 2024 SEDI meeting will consist of eight sessions, organized by the layers and boundary layers within the Earth, with applications to other planets and moons. The structure of the schedule therefore brings together scientists from multiple sub-disciplines of geosciences as they focus on the structure and dynamics of the systems. The scientific questions and problems of interest to the meeting include the structure and dynamics of the core and mantle, core-mantle interactions and the nature and location of deep geochemical reservoirs, material properties at extreme conditions, the geomagnetic dynamo and geo and paleo magnetism, and the evolution of the Earth’s deep interior.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.
