The Gordon Research Conference on the Interior of the Earth, to be held June 10-15, 2007 at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts, will address major unresolved problems at the frontiers of our understanding of the dynamics, composition, structure, and evolution of the earth's crust, lithosphere, and deeper mantle, and their connections to surface observations. G"oran Ekstr"om (PI) and Bruce Buffett (University of Chicago) are the Chair and Vice-Chair, respectively for the 2007 meeting. The meeting will bring together researchers from a wide variety of backgrounds, perspectives, disciplines, types of institutions, career stages, and demographics. The sessions will be: - The Continental Lithosphere: Where did it come from, where does it go?- The Asthenosphere I: What is the asthenosphere?- The Asthenosphere II: How do the lithosphere, asthenosphere and deeper mantle interact?- Oceanic Lithosphere from Ridge to Trench- Anisotropy: Fabric development, maintenance, and destruction- Subduction Zones: What goes down and what comes up?- Why is the transition zone important?- Deglaciation and Sea-Level Change: Earth's response to loading on multiple time scales- Unresolved QuestionsThis is the sixth Gordon Research Conference on the Earth's Interior. The previous five have been remarkably successful as documented by evaluations required by the GRC organization. Gordon Research Conferences provide a unique setting for the exchange of scientific ideas in which the opportunities for formal and informal discussion are optimized. The conferences are administered through a central office in Rhode Island, which takes no overhead; the conference infrastructure leaves the conference organizers free to focus on the content of the meeting.Intellectual Merit. The conference will address major unresolved problems at the frontiers of our understanding of the dynamics, composition, structure, and evolution of the earth's crust, lithosphere, and deeper mantle, and their connections to surface observations.Broader Impacts. The requested funds will be used primarily to encourage and support the participation of young scientists who might not otherwise be able to attend, including graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. The conference is an excellent educational opportunity for this group, not only for the formal presentations, but for the chances to interact informally with leaders in the field, and to present their own work in the form of posters. NSF support of previous conferences on the Interior of the Earth has helped tremendously to facilitate a diverse group of attendees.

戈登地球内部研究会议将于 2007 年 6 月 10 日至 15 日在马萨诸塞州南哈德利的曼荷莲学院举行，会议将讨论我们对动力学、组成、结构和地球内部结构的理解前沿领域尚未解决的重大问题。地壳、岩石圈和更深地幔的演化，以及它们与地表观测的联系。 G"oran Ekstr"om（首席研究员）和布鲁斯·巴菲特（芝加哥大学）分别担任 2007 年会议的主席和副主席。这次会议将汇集来自不同背景、观点、学科、机构类型、职业阶段和人口统计数据的研究人员。会议内容包括： - 大陆岩石圈：它从哪里来，又到哪里去？ - 软流圈 I：什么是软流圈？ - 软流圈 II：岩石圈、软流圈和更深的地幔如何相互作用？ - 海洋岩石圈从山脊到海沟 - 各向异性：结构的发展、维护和破坏 - 俯冲带：什么下降、什么上升？ - 为什么过渡带很重要？ -冰川消退和海平面变化：地球对多个时间尺度上的载荷的响应 - 未解决的问题这是第六届戈登地球内部研究会议。根据 GRC 组织要求的评估记录，前五次非常成功。戈登研究会议为科学思想的交流提供了一个独特的环境，其中正式和非正式讨论的机会得到了优化。会议通过位于罗德岛州的中央办公室进行管理，无需任何管理费用；会议基础设施使会议组织者可以自由地专注于会议内容。智力价值。会议将讨论我们对地壳、岩石圈和更深地幔的动力学、组成、结构和演化及其与地表观测的联系的理解前沿的未解决的重大问题。更广泛的影响。所申请的资金将主要用于鼓励和支持原本无法参加的年轻科学家的参与，包括研究生和博士后。这次会议对于这个群体来说是一次极好的教育机会，不仅有正式的演讲，而且有机会与该领域的领导者进行非正式互动，并以海报的形式展示自己的工作。美国国家科学基金会 (NSF) 对之前有关地球内部的会议的支持极大地帮助了多样化的与会者。
