Support for ISES Forum III: Growth of a Continent in Space and Time, San Francisco, CA, December 2005

12月4日，在美国加利福尼亚州旧金山举行了为期一天的论坛，讨论大陆在空间和时间上的增长。论坛由综述报告和分组讨论组成，讨论热点问题和未来的研究方向。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培养下一代固体地球科学家）、暑期静修（初级助理教授和高级博士后研究员）。论坛的更广泛影响：发展固体地球科学研究的未来方向，探索未来培养年轻科学家从事以综合固体地球科学为中心的职业的模式，为建立共享基础设施（如数据库）提供刺激，促进改进教学，鼓励来自代表性不足群体的科学家参与地球科学研究。

A one-day forum is being held in San Francisco, California on December 4, 200, to discuss continental growth of continents in space and time. The forum consists of overview presentations and breakout groups for discussion of hot topics and future research directions. 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 art development of future directions in solid earth sciences research, exploration of future modes of preparing young scientists for careers in which integrated solid earth sciences takes center stage, providing stimulus to build shared infrastructure (e.g., databases), stimulating improved teaching, and encouragement of participation of scientists from underrepresented groups in earth sciences research.
