Chapman Conference on Complexity and Extreme Events in Geosciences

该奖项为参加查普曼地球科学复杂性和极端事件会议的美国与会者提供旅费。地球和空间科学中的极端事件表现出复杂系统的许多特征，其中许多相互依赖的组成部分导致了有组织的和不规则的特征。在复杂系统中，各部分的知识并不一定会导致整个系统的可预测行为。会议将由一个来自地球科学所有领域的国际小组组织。这次会议的一个主要目标是争取基础广泛的科学界的参与，包括不同的学科领域。特别是研究生和年轻研究人员的参与，对极端事件和自然灾害科学的发展非常重要。该奖项将支持美国研究生以及其他参与者，包括年轻的研究人员和特邀演讲者的出席。

This award supports travel costs for U. S. attendees to the Chapman Conference on Complexity and Extreme Events in Geosciences. Extreme events in Earth and space sciences exhibit many features of complex systems in which many interdependent components lead to organized as well as irregular features. In complex systems the knowledge of the parts does not necessarily lead to the predictable behavior of the entire system. The Conference will be organized by an international team drawn from all areas of geosciences. A key objective of the conference is to target the participation by a broad-based science community, encompassing different subject areas. In particular participation by graduate students, and young researchers are important for the development of the science of extreme events and natural hazards. This award will support the attendance of U. S. graduate students, as well as other participants, including young researchers, and invited speakers.
