AGU Chapman Conference on Radiated Energy and the Physics of Earthquake Faulting

该奖项为查普曼辐射能量和地震断裂物理学会议提供资金。这次会议将为致力于解决涉及地震能量预算理解的基本问题的地球科学家提供一个论坛。与地震辐射能量相关的断层破裂的物理特性通常与破坏性的地面运动有关，这是一个需要解决的重要问题。会议将着重讨论地震学、地质学、实验室岩石力学、地球物理学、地球化学和地震数值模拟等主题。一个关键的目标是促进这些科学家团体之间更好的交流，以促进对地震如何发生以及震源过程中涉及的各种能量的理解。查普曼会议是由美国地球物理联合会（AGU）主办的专题会议，旨在通过大型会议的形式促进通常无法获得的机会。申请经费18,900美元，用于一些研究生、青年科学家、项目委员会成员和其他需要支持参加会议的人员的旅费。

This award provides funds for a Chapman Conference on Radiated Energy and the Physics of Earthquake Faulting. This conference will provide a forum for Earth scientists who are working to resolve fundamental questions involving the understanding of earthquake energy budgets. The physics of fault rupture related to the radiated seismic energy that is often associated with damaging ground motion is an important question to address. The topics of seismology, geology, laboratory rock mechanics, geophysics, geochemistry and the numerical modeling of earthquakes will be emphasized at the conference. A critical goal is fostering better communication among these groups of scientists to advance the understanding of how earthquakes work and the various energies involved in the seismic source processes.Chapman Conferences are topical meetings sponsored by the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and are designed to promote opportunities not normally available through the format of larger meetings. Funds in the amount of $18,900 are requested for travel expenses of some graduate students, young scientists, program committee members and others who require support to participate in the conference.
