2005 Inorganic Geochemistry Gordon Conference

该奖项将促进对戈登无机地球化学研究会议的支持，该会议致力于富金属成矿系统的地球化学研究，并作为国际研究人员聚集和讨论有关金属运输和沉积问题的主要会议之一。今年戈登会议的主题是“成矿系统中的金属：来源、运输和沉积”，被选为重点关注成矿过程，而不是金属或矿床类型。通过重点关注过程，与会者将寻求突出矿石形成、矿床环境和由此产生的矿石经济加工所涉及的众多因素之间的联系。资助将支持学生、博士后研究员、助理教授和其他初级科学家出席本次戈登研究会议。初级科学家参加这些会议很重要，因为他们给科学带来了新的和创新的想法，因为他们负责这一领域的未来研究。会议为这些研究人员提供了一个与更多资深科学家互动并向他们学习未来研究的重要和相关领域的场所。此外，会议还为初级科学家提供了与所有经验层次的科学家开发合作项目的绝佳机会。对初级科学家的财政支持是必要的，因为这些职位的研究人员往往很难获得必要的资金来支付他们的费用。

This award will facilitate support for a Gordon Research Conference on inorganic geochemistry that addresses the geochemistry of metal-rich ore-forming systems, and serves as one of the premier conferences for international researchers to gather and discuss issues concerning metal transportation and deposition. The theme for this year's Gordon Conference is "Metals in ore-forming systems: Sources, transport, and deposition," that was selected to focus on process, rather than metal or ore deposit type. By focusing on process, the participants will seek to highlight the linkages among the numerous factors involved in ore formation, deposit environment, and the resultant economic processing of ore. Funding will support the attendance of students, post doctorate fellows, assistant professors, and other junior level scientists at this Gordon Research conference. The attendance of junior level scientists at these meetings is important because they bring new and innovative ideas to the science, and because they are responsible for future research in this field. The conference provides a venue for these researchers to interact with and learn from more senior scientists about the important and relevant areas for future research. The conference, furthermore, provides excellent opportunities for junior level scientists to develop collaborative projects with scientists at all levels of experience. Financial support for junior scientists is necessary as it is often difficult for researchers in these positions to garner the funds necessary to defray their expenses.
