Consortium for Materials Properties Research in the Earth Sciences

compres是地球科学材料特性研究协会，旨在促进地球科学材料特性领域的研究和教育。这个研究团体的目标是通过更好地了解构成这些天体的物质在这些天体内部发现的条件下，来提高我们对地球和其他行星天体的理解。通过以社区为基础的联合办法，COMPRES旨在尽可能广泛地提供先进设施，以研究地球材料。广泛使用将部分通过教育倡议和在先进的集中研究设施中改进用户支助来实现。该计划支持教育和研究的基础设施，包括国家设施的运营成本、社区研究项目的发展项目、社区教育工作和一个中央办公室。COMPRES的使命集中在三个主题：COMPRES中心、社区设施和基础设施发展项目。compes由社区通过选举产生的委员会和官员进行管理。该联盟将使一种社区范围的方法能够确定研究和开发的优先事项，并确定未来技术和研究中最有前途的新领域。

WeidnerEAR-0135554COMPRES, the Consortium for Materials Property Research in the Earth Sciences, promotes research and education in the area of Earth Science materials properties. The goal of this research community is to improve our understanding of the Earth and other planetary bodies by better understanding the materials that make up these bodies at the conditions that are found within the bodies. Through a community-based consortium approach, COMPRES aims to provide the broadest possible access to advanced facilities for research on Earth materials. Broad access will be achieved in part through educational initiatives and improved user support at advanced, centralized research facilities. This program supports the infrastructure for education and research including operational costs for national facilities, development projects for the community research programs, educational efforts for the community, and a central office. The mission of COMPRES is focused within three themes: COMPRES Central, Community Facilities, and Infrastructure Development Projects. COMPRES is governed by the community through elected committees and officials. The consortium will enable a community-wide approach to setting research and development priorities, and identifying the most promising new areas of future technology and research.
