ABSTRACTIntellectual Merit The 2008 V. M. Goldschmidt Conference in Vancouver, BC, will provide an unparalleled opportunity for young geochemists to share their research with the scientific community, learn about cutting edge research taking place around the world, and interact with senior scientists specializing in their specific realm of interest. Thematic issues to be addressed at the conference span a broad range of sub-disciplines in low- and high- temperature geochemistry, including Early Solar System Geochronology, Planetary Geochemistry, Early Earth, Continental Crustal Evolution, Mantle Dynamics, Mantle Geochemistry, Experimental Petrology, Fluids in the Crust and Mantle, Subduction Processes, Magmatic Processes, Thermochronolgy, and Resource Geochemistry. In addition to oral and poster presentation sessions, students will have an opportunity to participate in field trips to outstanding geological destinations in British Columbia including the Canadian Cascades, Wrangellia Flood Basalts, and Vancouver Island, as well as short courses on geochemical analytical techniques including Laser Ablation ICP-MS in the Earth Sciences and Quality Assurance in Analytical Geochemistry. This proposal puts forth a method for fairly selecting and distributing travel support funds to the most qualified student applicants, in order to ensure that 30 or more have an opportunity to benefit from all the resources to be assembled at the conference. In addition to the funding requested from NSF, the Geochemical Society will contribute $10,000, bringing the total number of student opportunities to 40.Broader ImpactsInternational scientific meetings are the primary networking outlet for researchers of all experience levels. For graduate students, these meetings are often the first opportunity to interact with members of the international scientific community. As the premier international geochemical conference, the Goldschmidt Conference plays a critical role in introducing young researchers to the world of geochemistry beyond their home institutions. The lingering effects of such an international learning and networking experience can be life-changing for a graduate student struggling to gain a foothold in the scientific community. The proposed student travel support program will enable the best and brightest senior graduate students from the US and US Territories, students who might otherwise be unable to attend due to financial constraints at their home institutions, to benefit from all the advantages this meeting has to offer at this turning point in their respective careers. Every effort will be made to encourage women, under-represented minorities, and people with disabilities to apply for funding, and to ensure, as much as possible, that the full range of demographic diversity sampled by today's geosciences graduate student community is represented among the awardees. It is our sincere hope that encouraging participation by under-represented groups in international events such as the Goldschmidt Conference will increase the diversity of the core group of senior geoscientists in the years to come.

AbstractIntl​​ectual值得在不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华举行的2008 V. M. Goldschmidt会议，将为年轻的地球化学主义者与科学界分享他们的研究，了解有关世界各地的尖端研究以及与专门从事特定领域的高级科学家的互动的无与伦比的机会。 Thematic issues to be addressed at the conference span a broad range of sub-disciplines in low- and high- temperature geochemistry, including Early Solar System Geochronology, Planetary Geochemistry, Early Earth, Continental Crustal Evolution, Mantle Dynamics, Mantle Geochemistry, Experimental Petrology, Fluids in the Crust and Mantle, Subduction Processes, Magmatic Processes, Thermochronolgy, and Resource Geochemistry. In addition to oral and poster presentation sessions, students will have an opportunity to participate in field trips to outstanding geological destinations in British Columbia including the Canadian Cascades, Wrangellia Flood Basalts, and Vancouver Island, as well as short courses on geochemical analytical techniques including Laser Ablation ICP-MS in the Earth Sciences and Quality Assurance in Analytical Geochemistry.该提案提出了一种公平选择和分配旅行支持资金给最合格的学生申请人的方法，以确保30或更多的人有机会从会议上组装的所有资源中受益。除了NSF要求的资金之外，地球化学协会还将贡献10,000美元，使学生总数的总数达到40。BoaderImpactsinternationaltionalsitation Impactional Cocientific Ceartings是所有经验水平的研究人员的主要网络渠道。对于研究生而言，这些会议通常是与国际科学界成员互动的第一个机会。作为国际首屈一指的地球化学会议，Goldschmidt会议在向年轻的研究人员介绍其家庭机构以外的地球化学世界中起着至关重要的作用。这种国际学习和网络经验的挥之不去的影响可能会改变生活，而研究生努力在科学界努力实现立足点。拟议的学生旅行支持计划将使来自美国和美国领土的最优秀和最聪明的高级毕业生，这些学生可能由于其家庭机构的财务限制而无法参加的学生，从本会议的所有优势中受益于各自的职业生涯的这一转折点。将尽一切努力鼓励妇女，代表性不足的少数群体以及残疾人申请资金，并尽可能确保当今的地球科学研究生社区所取样的各种人口多样性在获奖者中代表。我们衷心的希望，鼓励代表性不足的团体参加国际活动（例如Goldschmidt会议）将在未来几年内增加高级地球科学家核心群体的多样性。
