2015 Interior of the Earth GRC/GRS

该奖项提供资金，以帮助支持会议参与者前往第10届戈登地球内部研究会议，该会议将于2015年6月7日至12日在马萨诸塞州南哈德利的霍利奥克山学院举行，并于6月6日至7日举行戈登研究研讨会（GRS）。对于这个社区来说，GRS是一个相对较新的场所，它为早期职业人士提供了一个独特的环境，包括学生、博士后和早期职业教师，以展示和交流最先进的想法和结果。要求NSF提供资金的部分原因是为了吸引早期职业人士加入GRS和GRC。今年的重点是探索内部过程对表面过程的影响的新研究，范围从构造到火山活动到气候。具体的主题包括被动边缘动力学、地幔过程和火山活动之间的联系、深部地球蒸发旋回、俯冲动力学、板块构造的起源、浅层地幔地震不连续的起源、岩石流变学和大尺度构造之间的微观到宏观的联系，以及大陆岩石圈的结构和演化。

This award provides funds to help support travel costs of conference participants to the the 10th Gordon Research Conference on Earth's Interior to be held at Mt. Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts from June 7-12, 2015, and a preceding Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) from June 6-7. The GRS is a relatively new venue for this community, and provides a unique environment for early-career individuals including students, post-docs, and early career faculty to present and exchange state of the art ideas and results. NSF funds are requested in part to attract early career individuals to the GRS and GRC. This year will focus on new research that explores the influence of interior processes on surface processes ranging from tectonics to volcanism to climate. Specific session topics include the dynamics of passive margins, connections between mantle processes and volcanism, deep earth volatile cycles, subduction dynamics, the origin of plate tectonics, the origin of shallow mantle seismic discontinuities, microscopic to macroscopic connections between rock rheology and large-scale tectonics, and the structure and evolution of the continental lithosphere.
