CSEDI: Geochemical Earth Reference Model (GERM) - a Workshop, February 1998

9709885斯托伊迪格尔地球化学参考模型(GERM)倡议是一项基层努力，其目标是就地球、其主要储集层及其之间的通量的化学特征建立社区共识。Germ的长期目标是一种类似于参考地球模型(REM)的地球物理工作的化学油藏特征。储集层之间的化学通量被包含在细菌中，以阐明地球长期的化学演化，并将地球描述为一个动态的化学系统。反过来，这些通量控制着地质过程，并影响水圈-大气-气候动力学。虽然这些长期目标显然是细菌的重点，但建立细菌的过程本身与其最终目标一样重要。Germ是由编辑和专业会议在万维网(http://www-ep.es.llnl.gov/germ/germ-home.html)，上进行的公开社区讨论。经费用于开发一个初步模型和于1998年3月在拉霍亚组织一次细菌讲习班。***

9709885 Staudigel The Geochemical Earth Reference Model (GERM) initiative is a grass-roots effort with the goal of establishing a community consensus on a chemical characterization of the Earth, its major reservoirs and the fluxes between them. The long term goal of GERM is a chemical reservoir characterization analogous to the geophysical effort of the Reference Earth Model (REM). Chemical fluxes between reservoirs are included into GERM to illuminate the long term chemical evolution of the Earth and to characterize the Earth as a dynamic chemical system. In turn, these fluxes control geological processes and influence hydrosphere - atmosphere - climate dynamics. While these long term goals are clearly the focus of GERM, the process of establishing GERM itself is just as important as its ultimate goal. GERM is developed as an open community discussion on the World Wide Web (http://www-ep.es.llnl.gov/germ/germ-home.html), mediated by editors and at professional meetings. Funding is provided for development of a preliminary model and for the organization of a GERM workshop in La Jolla, in March 1998. ***
