This proposal supports student and early career scientists’ attendance at the 21st biennial Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on the Flow and Transport in Permeable Media and the 7th Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). The funds will be used to reduce the cost of conference attendance by young investigators and underrepresented minorities with the aim of supporting the next generation of researchers and increasing the diversity of the attendees. Many natural and engineered materials are porous and central to important societal challenges, such as the energy transition and the response of natural systems to human use and climate change. Improving our understanding of porous media is therefore essential to a wide range of disciplines and solving a broad spectrum of societal challenges. The GRC and GRS will expose students and early career scientists to these societally relevant problems and build new professional connections to support future solutions. The 2024 GRC and GRS conferences will present cutting-edge research on the role of porous media in the Energy Transition and Climate Change. The conference will expose students and early career scientists to sessions dedicated to crucial energy technologies such as geothermal energy, natural hydrogen accumulations, and geological carbon storage. The conference will bring together experts from academia and industry to identify challenges and possible solutions for building new collaborations in these areas. A second set of sessions will discuss the role of subsurface geology (i.e., porous media) in the response of natural systems to climate change. One session will cover the response of the intersection of atmosphere, soil, and bedrock. Another emerging subject is the hydrologic response of ice sheets to surface melting. The third session is dedicated to large-scale hydrogeological dynamics and how they can be integrated into land surface and climate models. The conference will bring together experts from academia and international research institutes in these areas.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.

该提案支持学生和早期职业科学家参加第21届两年一度的戈登研究会议（GRC）关于可渗透介质中的流动和运输以及第7届戈登研究研讨会（GRS）。这些资金将用于减少年轻研究人员和代表性不足的少数群体参加会议的费用，目的是支持下一代研究人员并增加与会者的多样性。 许多天然和工程材料都是多孔的，是重要社会挑战的核心，例如能源转型和自然系统对人类使用和气候变化的反应。因此，提高我们对多孔介质的理解对于广泛的学科和解决广泛的社会挑战至关重要。 GRC和GRS将使学生和早期职业科学家接触这些与社会相关的问题，并建立新的专业联系，以支持未来的解决方案。2024年的GRC和GRS会议将展示关于多孔介质在能源转型和气候变化中的作用的前沿研究。会议将让学生和早期职业科学家参加专门讨论关键能源技术的会议，如地热能，天然氢积累和地质碳储存。会议将汇集来自学术界和工业界的专家，以确定在这些领域建立新合作的挑战和可能的解决方案。第二组会议将讨论地下地质的作用（即，多孔介质）在自然系统对气候变化的响应中的作用。其中一个会议将涵盖大气，土壤和基岩的交叉响应。另一个新兴的主题是冰盖对表面融化的水文反应。第三次会议专门讨论大尺度水文地质动力学以及如何将其纳入陆地表面和气候模型。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。
