Support for the 60th Annual Meteoritical Society Meeting, Maui, Hawaii, July 21-25, 1997

Keil 9707077 该奖项资助前苏联的学生和科学家参加第60届气象学会年会，该年会将于1997年7月21日至25日在夏威夷毛伊岛的毛伊岛王子酒店举行，由夏威夷大学夏威夷地球物理学和行星学研究所主办，位于夏威夷夏威夷的马诺阿96822. 美国宇航局、巴林杰基金会、JEOL美国公司、Cameca，Inc.，出版社：Pallasite Press会议的主要科学重点是陨石作为太阳系起源和演化的线索。 陨石学会的年会是技术会议，而不是公约，是国际性的。 由于后者的场地通常在欧洲和美国之间交替，反映了来自两大洲的次平等的社会成员。 出席大多数会议的国家包括：澳大利亚、奥地利、比利时、加拿大、丹麦、法国、德国、印度、日本、荷兰、俄罗斯、瑞士、英国和美国。 过去14年来，包括来宾在内，出席会议的人数大多在250至400人之间。 有记录以来规模最大的会议是在维也纳举行的，有449名与会者和来宾。 由于1997年会议的地点在夏威夷的毛伊岛，预计出席人数将非常多，可能超过400人。 会议的主题主要是陨石的矿物学、同位素和化学研究，早期太阳系过程的理论研究，以及撞击现象的实地和理论研究。 整个科学主题是了解我们的太阳系及其组成部分的形成和演变，以及一般的太阳系。 最近在陨石学会会议上引起极大兴趣的专题包括：发现保存在球粒陨石中的星际颗粒的性质和起源;短寿命放射性核素在新形成的太阳系中的分布及其在早期行星熔化中的可能作用;火星陨石中挥发物的性质及其对火星挥发物总量的影响;可能的天体物理位置（星星类型），已知存在于早期太阳系中的同位素异常物质是从那里衍生出来的;以及过去数万年来撞击地球的陨石数量可能存在的长期变化。 毛伊岛会议由两个并行的技术会议以及海报会议组成。大多数论文是投稿而不是邀请的;许多是学生写的。 通常的形式是10分钟的陈述，然后是5分钟的提问。 所有会议，将在毛伊岛王子酒店，其中有新的，一流的演讲设施举行。在陨石学会会议之前，将举办一个由LPI-HIGP赞助的关于“母天体和星云对南极物质的改变”的讲习班，预计陨石学会会议的许多与会者也将参加讲习班。 特殊数据元素 A. 7 N - - B。 F4- C。 10 D。 61 E O - F。 - - I P G - - H. - - 我。 NP-J 0 0- - N. 0 0 1 0 O. 0 0 0 0。 外国/国际影响（1036表格第41栏） 1 2 3 4 5 6 南极洲 前苏联 X X

Keil OPP 9707077 Abstract This award supports travel for students and scientists from the Former Soviet Union to participate in the 60th Annual Meeting of the Meteoritical Society, which will be held in the Maui Prince Hotel, Maui, Hawaii, from July 21-25, 1997, under the organizational sponsorship of the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii, 96822. Additional support is being provided by NASA, The Barringer Foundation, JEOL USA, Inc., Cameca, Inc., and Pallasite Press. The principal scientific focus of the meeting is on meteorites as clues to the origin and evolution of the solar system. Annual meetings of the Meteoritical Society are technical conferences, not conventions, and are international in nature. Because of the latter the venue generally alternates between Europe and the US, reflecting the sub-equal Society membership from the two continents. Countries represented at most of the meetings include: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Japan, the Netherlands, Russia, Switzerland, the UK, and the United States. Attendance at the meetings over the past 14 years has mostly been in the range 250- 400 persons, including guests. The largest meeting on record was Vienna, with 449 participants plus guests. Because of the location of the 1997 meeting in Maui, Hawaii, attendance is expected to be very high, probably in excess of 400. The subject matter of the conference is dominated by mineralogic, isotopic and chemical studies of meteorites, theoretical studies of early solar system processes, and field and theoretical studies of impact phenomena. The overall scientific theme is learning about the formation and evolution of our solar system and its components, and solar systems in general. Recent topics of great interest at Meteoritical Society meetings have included the nature and origin of interstellar grains that have been found preserved in chondrite mete orites; the distribution of short- lived radionuclides in the newly-formed solar system and their possible role in early planetary melting; the nature of volatiles in Martian (SNC) meteorites and their implications for the volatile budget on Mars; the possible astrophysical sites (star types) from which isotopically-anomalous material known to be present in the early solar system was derived; and possible secular variations in the meteorite population bombarding Earth over the past several tens of thousands of years. The Maui meeting is comprised of five days of two concurrent technical sessions, as well as Poster Sessions. Most of the papers are contributed rather than invited; many are given by students. The usual format is 10 minutes for presentation followed by 5 minutes for questions. All sessions, will be held in the Maui Prince Hotel, which has new, superb lecture facilities. The Meteoritical Society Meeting will be preceded by an LPI-HIGP-sponsored Workshop on "Parent body and nebular modification of chondritic materials", and it is anticipated that many of the participants of the Meteoritical Society Meeting will also participate in the Workshop.
