9305894 Lay This project initiates a community-wide study of the core-mantle boundary, one of the most significant regions of our planet. As a result of the past decade's research advances, the geosciences community is on the verge of making significant breakthroughs in understanding how the Earth evolves on a global scale. Because the dynamics of the deep planetary interior involves many different facets of the Earth sciences, from geomagnetism and seismology to mineral physics and geodynamics, a multi-disciplinary approach is essential. An average of less than $30 K/yr for each investigator will allow them to pursue this effort in a truly collaborative and interdisciplinary manner. This project will yield important new observations and theoretical analyses bearing on the core-mantle boundary, and will support the participation of the broader community of interested geoscientists. Significant advances in our understanding of the Earth's geological evolution -- far beyond what would be achieved by the individual groups working separately -- will result from this collaborative, multi-disciplinary effort. ***

9305894该项目启动了对核心掩护边界的社区范围的研究，核心掩护边界是我们地球上最重要的地区之一。 由于过去十年的研究进展，地球科学界即将在理解地球在全球范围内如何发展方面取得重大突破。 由于深层行星内部的动力学涉及地球科学的许多不同方面，从地磁和地震学到矿物质物理学和地球动力学，因此一种多学科的方法至关重要。 每个调查员平均不到$ 30 k/yr将允许他们以真正的协作和跨学科的方式追求这一努力。 该项目将产生重要的新观察和核心掩护边界的理论分析，并将支持更广泛的感兴趣的地球科学家社区的参与。 我们对地球地质进化的理解的重大进展 - 远远超出了单独工作的各个群体所能实现的 - 将由这项合作，多学科的努力造成。 ***
