Support for Attendance by Early Career Geochemists and Petrologists to the Mineralogical Society of America Short Course on Sulfur in Magmas and Melts in August 2011

该奖项将为六名美国早期职业地球化学家和岩石学家提供部分资金支持，用于参加第74届美国矿物学会（MSA）和地球化学学会（GS）赞助的关于“岩浆和熔体中的硫及其对自然和技术过程的重要性”的短期课程及其相关的为期两天的暑期学校活动，这些活动将在德国举行。 资金将促进早期职业美国调查人员（研究生和博士后研究人员）参与地球化学和岩石学，否则他们可能不会参加夏季飞往欧洲的航空旅行费用。 这个短期课程汇集了不同领域的专家，讨论最近的研究结果以及未来合作研究的战略，这些研究涉及挥发性组分硫在各种各样的自然过程中对岩浆，矿化，这是第74届MSA/GS短期课程将促进研究合作和分享 研究人员之间的信息，涉及岩浆硫的自然过程，生产合成玻璃，涉及硫的过程，和那些参与钢铁生产和硫的重要性和行为。 学生和博士后将被要求提交摘要，并在海报会议上分享他们的科学成果，他们也将有许多机会与交叉领域的高级研究人员互动， 岩石学、地球化学（熔体、矿物和流体）、矿床学、稳定同位素系统学、实验岩石学、玻璃生产和钢铁生产。 参加者还将有独特的机会在德国各大学举行的两次为期一天的暑期学校实验室活动中接受培训（由短期课程的共同组织者设计）。 这些活动的重点是实验和分析技术，涉及铝硅酸盐熔体和玻璃中的硫。这个暑期学校将扩大短期课程的影响，为早期职业科学家。

This award will provide partial financial support for travel and meeting registration expenses of six early career U.S. geochemists and petrologists to participate in the 74th Mineralogical Society of America (MSA)- and Geochemical Society (GS)-sponsored Short Course on 'Sulfur in Magmas and Melts and Its Importance for Natural and Technical Processes' and its associated two-day summer school activities to be held in Germany. Funding will facilitate the participation by early career U.S. investigators (graduate students and postdoctoral researchers) in geochemistry and petrology who might not otherwise attend given the expense of air travel to Europe in the summer months. This short course brings together experts in diverse fields to discuss recent research findings as well as strategies for future collaborative research on topics related to the role of the volatile component sulfur in a wide variety of natural processes bearing on magmas, mineralization, and volcanism and on processes of manufacturing glasses and steels for industrial applications.This is the 74th MSA/GS Short Course will foster research collaboration and sharing of information between investigators of natural processes involving magmatic sulfur, processes of producing synthetic glasses that involve sulfur, and those involved in steel production and the importance and behavior of sulfur. Students and postdocs will be required to submit an abstract and share their scientific results in a poster session, and they will also have numerous opportunities to interact with senior researchers in the crossover fields of petrology, geochemistry (melts, minerals, and fluids), mineral deposits, stable isotope systematics, experimental petrology, glass production, and steel production. The participants will also have the unique opportunity to receive training in two, one-day summer school, laboratory-based activities to be held at universities in Germany (which have been designed by a co-organizer of the short course). These activities are focused on experimental and analytical techniques involving sulfur in aluminosilicate melts and glasses. This summer school will serve to broaden the impact of the short course for early career scientists.
