Conference: Interior of the Earth Gordon Research Conference and Seminar

该奖项将部分支持2023年戈登地球内部研究会议(GRC)。这次GRC将是地球内部系列会议中的第13个，这些会议专注于地球内部的结构、动力学和演化。这次会议将汇集来自地球科学中广泛分支学科的科学家，包括地球化学、地球动力学、矿物物理、岩石变形、地震学和岩石学。我们已经申请了资金，以帮助支持职业生涯早期会议参与者(研究生、博士后科学家和职业生涯早期教师)的旅费。GRC将于2023年6月18日至23日在马萨诸塞州南哈德利的曼荷莲学院举行，并将于6月17日至18日与戈登研究研讨会(GRS)在同一地点举行。GRS面向研究生和博士后学者的受众，为这些早期职业生涯的科学家提供了一个独特的环境来展示和交流最先进的想法和成果。该奖项提供的旅行支持将有助于资助职业生涯早期的科学家参加GRS和/或GRC的会议。2023年GRC的主题是“地幔和地核的物质特性及其对地球演化的限制、原因和后果”。这一主题将吸引从事从岩石圈地幔到地核在内的地球内部各种深度工作的科学家的参与，并将通过构成地幔和地核的材料的性质的棱镜来讨论地球内部的结构和动力学。了解这些特性--例如，流变学、组成、弹性和热行为--是了解地球内部运行的关键。会议将包括主旨演讲，强调新的(未发表的成果)以及海报演示，这将为与会者(特别是职业生涯早期的科学家)提供机会，以海报的形式介绍他们的工作。之前的GRS将极大地促进年轻科学家的网络交流，该报告的主题是“从岩浆海洋阶段到现在地球内部结构的演化”。在制定计划和为会议做广告时，我们意识到了许多方面的多样性。我们特别强调为职业生涯早期的科学家提供演讲机会；有相当大比例的早期职业研究人员和首次与会者作为主旨演讲者和讨论领导者，将鼓励全球深部地球研究人员社区更多地参与。之前的GRS会议将包括一个导师会议，重点是地球科学的交流和职业生涯。这一奖项反映了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。

This award will partially support the 2023 Interior of the Earth Gordon Research Conference (GRC). This GRC will be the 13th in a series of Interior of the Earth conferences that focus on the structure, dynamics, and evolution of the Earth’s interior. This meeting will bring together scientists from a wide range of subdisciplines within Earth sciences, including geochemistry, geodynamics, mineral physics, rock deformation, seismology, and petrology. We have requested funds to help support travel costs of early-career conference participants (graduate students, postdoctoral scientists, and early-career faculty). The GRC will take place at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts from June 18-23, 2023 and will be held in conjunction with a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) from June 17-18 at the same venue. The GRS is aimed at an audience of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars and provides a unique environment for these early-career scientists to present and exchange state of the art ideas and results. The travel support provided by this award will help to fund conference attendance for early-career scientists to attend the GRS and/or the GRC.The theme of the 2023 GRC is “Material Properties of the Mantle and Core and their Constraints, Causes and Consequences for Earth Evolution.” This theme will engage scientists who work on a range of depths within the Earth, from the lithospheric mantle to the core, and will enable discussion on the structure and dynamics of the Earth’s interior through the prism of the properties of the materials that make up its mantle and core. Understanding these properties – for example, rheology, composition, elasticity, and thermal behavior – is key for understanding the inner workings of our planet. The conference will encompass keynote talks that emphasize new (unpublished results) as well as poster presentations, which will provide the opportunity for participants (particularly early-career scientists) to present their work in poster format. Networking by younger scientists will be greatly facilitated by the preceding GRS, which has the theme “Evolution of the Interior Structure of Earth from the Magma Ocean Stage to the Present.” In constructing the program and in advertising for the meeting, we have been conscious of diversity along a number of dimensions. We have placed particular emphasis on giving speaking opportunities to early-career scientists; having a significant proportion of early-career researchers and first-time attendees as Keynote Speakers and Discussion Leaders will encourage greater participation across the global community of deep Earth researchers. The preceding GRS meeting will include a mentorship session that focuses on communication and careers in Earth Science.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.
