Support for ISES Forum II: Rheology of the Continental Lithosphere

2004年12月12日在加州的旧金山弗朗西斯科举行了为期一天的论坛，讨论通过交流和整合改变固体地球科学的研究和教育文化。 该论坛包括一系列的更新和介绍，作为一个平台，讨论研究设施和设备，并确定大陆岩石圈流变学的新需求，以支持固体地球科学的研究和教育。该论坛是固体地球科学学科之间综合和整合道路上的又一步。此外，正在讨论未来的综合固体地球科学活动，如年度论坛、暑期学校（在新的综合科学文化中教育下一代固体地球科学家）、暑期务虚会（为初级助理教授和高级博士后研究员举办）。论坛的更广泛影响将是为科学基础设施的新发展指明方向，为早期职业科学家开发新的教育模式，并制定固体地球科学的研究重点。

A one-day forum is being held in San Francisco, California on December 12, 2004, to discuss changing the research and education culture of the solid earth sciences through communication and integration. The forum consists of a series of updates and presentations that serve as a platform for discussion of research facilities and equipment, and identification of emerging needs in continental lithosphere rheology to support research and education in the solid earth sciences. The forum is another step down the road of synthesis and integration among the solid earth sciences disciplines. Additionally, future integrated solid earth sciences activities such as annual forums, summer schools (to educate the next generation of solid earth scientists within the new integrated science culture), summer retreats (for junior assistant professors and senior post-doctoral fellows) are being discussed. Broader impacts of forum will be to point the way to new developments in scientific infrastructure, develop new educational models for early career scientists, and formulate research priorities in solid earth sciences.
