CSEDI/Chapman Conference: The History and Dynamics of Global Plate Motions

小行星9629072理查兹 PI提议举办一个跨学科的查普曼会议，汇集80-100名科学家和学生，专注于确定和解决板块构造和地幔动力学的基本问题。 地球动力学模拟和地球内部地震成像的最新进展为将板块运动历史知识与这些新结果相结合提供了新的可能性。 会议的主要目的是汇集板块重建和地幔动力学社区，这到目前为止一直是孤立的工作。 会议目标包括：1）促进创新的跨学科科学交流，以更好地将板块运动的地质记录整合到地球动力学模型中，2）通过整合作用于板块的力的更成熟的知识来改进地球动力学模型，3）提高我们对板块边界性质的理解，（4）加深对深部地幔过程与全球板块运动关系的认识。 ***

9629072 Richards The PIs propose to hold an interdisciplinary Chapman conference that brings together 80-100 scientists and students focused on identifying and solving fundamental problems of plate tectonics and mantle dynamics. Recent advances in geodynamic modeling and seismic imaging of the earth's interior offer new possibilities for integrating knowledge of the history of plate motions with these new results. The main purpose of the conference is to bring together the plate reconstruction and mantle dynamics communities, which have until now worked in isolation. Conference goals include: 1) fostering innovative cross-disciplinary scientific interchange toward better integrating the geological record of plate motions into geodynamic models, 2) improving geodynamic models by integrating a more mature knowledge of the forces acting on plates, 3) improving our understanding of the nature of plate boundaries, and 4) developing a better understanding of the relationship between deep mantle processes and global plate motions. ***
