2022 Geochemistry of Mineral Deposits Gordon Research Conference and Seminar

戈登矿藏地球化学研究会议(GRC)是一系列会议中的第26次，这些会议是具有不同经验的国际研究人员聚集和讨论有关自然环境中金属运输和沉积的地球化学问题的主要会议之一。今年，GRC的重点是矿藏领域改变游戏规则的发展，如大数据、生物系统、新领域和管理。在目前需要发现和可持续开采人类历史上前所未有的更多矿藏的环境下，以及对稀有材料的需求不断加快以支持可再生能源过渡的情况下，2022年会议对于产生创新的方法来改变科学将是至关重要的。GRC和GRS的联席会议将确保下一代领导人能够与这些领域的现有领导人接触。2022年戈登矿床地球化学会议将提供一个论坛，介绍和讨论新的数据和想法。GRC将首先讨论如何将“大数据”和机器学习技术应用于矿藏的研究和勘探。会议包括对矿化过程的详细评估，这些过程控制着一系列矿藏的形成和规模，包括贵金属、贱金属和其他与支持更清洁、更电气化的世界相关的关键元素。有一节课专门讨论在勘探项目中使用地球化学的实际情况。其他会议将侧重于下一代模型、生物过程以及海底和太空等采矿前沿环境的挑战。最后一次会议将讨论未来的方向，还将展示一位在GRS上发表演讲的年轻科学家，他将有机会再次向GRC与会者发表演讲。毫无疑问，这场大流行极大地影响了网络和发展，特别是职业生涯早期的科学家。该奖项将允许职业生涯早期的科学家介绍研究，并与来自世界各地的科学家接触，这些科学家专注于为我们日益增长的社会研究矿石矿物的进化和可持续性。会议的形式为参与者提供了丰富的互动，是早期职业研究人员宣传自己是谁并获得有关他们去向的反馈的理想场所。戈登研究研讨会将由学生组织，并为学生举办，并将有一个导师小组，重点关注来自政府、学术界和行业的成员的职业生涯。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on the Geochemistry of Mineral Deposits is the 26th in a series of conferences that serves as one of the premier conferences for international researchers with differing levels of experience to gather and discuss issues concerning the geochemistry of metal transportation and deposition in the natural environment. This year, a focus of the GRC is on game-changing developments in mineral deposits, such as big data, biosystems, new frontiers, and stewardship. In the current climate of needing to discover and sustainably extract more mineral deposits that ever before in human history, and the accelerating demand for rare materials to support the renewable energy transition, the 2022 meeting will be critical to generate innovative approaches to transform the science. The joint meetings of the GRC and GRS will ensure that the next generation of leaders will be able to engage with current leaders in these fields.The 2022 Gordon Conference on the Geochemistry of Mineral Deposits will present a forum to present and discuss new data and ideas. The GRC will open with a discussion of how “big data'' and machine learning techniques can be applied to the study of, and exploration for, ore deposits. Sessions include detailed appraisals of mineralizing processes that control the formation, and size of a wide range of ore deposits including precious metals, base metals, and other critical elements relevant to supporting a cleaner, more electrified world. There is a session dedicated to the practical realities of using geochemistry in exploration programs. Other sessions will focus on the next generation of models, biological processes and the challenges of mining frontier settings such as the seafloor and in space. The final session will discuss where the future lies and will also showcase one of the young scientists who presented at the GRS, who will have the opportunity to give their talk again to the GRC attendees. There is no doubt that the pandemic has greatly impacted the networking and development of especially early-career scientists. This award will allow early-career scientists to present research and engage with scientists from around the world who are focused on the evolution and sustainability of ore minerals for our growing society. The format of the meeting provides for an abundance of interaction among participants, and is an ideal venue for early-career researchers to advertise who they are and get feedback on where they are going. A Gordon Research Seminar will be organized by, and for, students, and will have a mentorship panel focused on careers with members from government, academia and industry.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
