Chapman Conference on Volcanism and the Earth's Atmosphere; Island of Thera, Greece; June 17-21, 2002

该项目为研究生和早期职业科学家参加查普曼火山与地球大气会议提供旅费支持。查普曼会议是由美国地球物理联合会主办的专题会议，旨在通过大型科学会议的形式促进通常无法获得的机会。今年的查普曼会议将重点讨论火山爆发对地球大气和环境的影响，并标志着这些会议召开十周年。会议将在希腊的锡拉岛举行，这里是青铜时代晚期圣托里尼火山爆发的地点，也是对人类文明产生深远影响的最重要的火山爆发之一。它将汇集气候学、火山学、冰川学和岩石学界的专家，审查最近的工作，并计划共同努力，在这一领域取得进一步进展。

This project provides travel support for graduate students and early career scientists to attend the Chapman conference on Volcanism and the Earth's Atmosphere. The Chapman conferences are topical meetings sponsored by the American Geophysical Union that are designed to promote opportunities not normally available through the format of larger scientific meetings. This year's Chapman Conference will focus on the effects of volcanic eruptions on the Earth's atmosphere and environment and marks the 10th anniversary of these conferences. The meeting will be held on the island of Thera in Greece, the site of the Santorini eruption in the Late Bronze Age and one of the most important volcanic eruptions that profoundly affected civilization. It will draw together experts from the climatology, volcanology, glaciology, and petrology communities to review recent work and plan for joint efforts to further progress in this field.
