Collaborative Research: Synthesis of MARGINS Source-to-Sink Concepts and Integration of Supporting Research

这项工作将通过一个包容性的国际会议和创建数字文本和教育资源，促进在边际资源从源到汇倡议下开展的研究的综合和整合。将在潮湿的热带环境（新几内亚和巴布亚湾）中获得的知识与在温带环境（新西兰及其邻近的大陆边缘）中获得的知识进行对比，以解决在地球表面传递质量（颗粒和溶解）过程操作中的根本差异。会议的总体目标是阐明作为全面理解沉积物从陆地起源到海洋积聚扩散的基础的观点，并探索支持这些观点的理论和观测研究。S2S科学本身的综合将是更广泛的地球科学界的重要资源。其他更广泛的影响包括研究生和年轻研究人员参与会议，为高级大学课程制作数字文本和入门课程的迷你课程，并包括应用科学家，地球科学教育者和其他研究地层记录的人。

The work will facilitate the synthesis and integration of research carried out under MARGINS source-to-sink initiative through an inclusive international conference and the creation of a digital text and educational resources. Knowledge gained in a wet tropical setting (New Guinea and the Gulf of Papua) will be contrasted with that completed in a temperate setting (New Zealand and its adjacent continental margin) in order to resolve fundamental differences in the operation of processes that transfer mass (particulate and dissolved) across the Earth surface. The general goal of the meeting is to articulate the ideas that are the foundation for a holistic understanding of sediment dispersal from land origins to marine accumulation, and to explore the theoretical and observational studies that support them. A synthesis of the S2S science in itself would be an important resource for the broader Earth science community. Other broader impacts include participation of graduate students and young investigators in the conference, production of digital text for advanced college courses and mini lessons for introductory courses, and inclusion of applied scientists, geoscience educators and others who study the stratigraphic record.
