This award will support the third biannual Structural Geology and Tectonics Forum, which will be held in May 2014, at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado. The forum will bring together specialists in structural geology and tectonics for oral and poster presentations, field trips, and short courses. The meeting will include three days of presentations that will include six technical sessions, including topics such as geoscience learning and spatial cognition; lithospheric deformation and rheology; the relationship between tectonics and earth surface processes, including neotectonics; linkages between structural geology and natural resources; and quantitative approaches towards structural analysis, and geoscience education. Each session will highlight an important area of current research and/or education, will be anchored by a distinguished keynote speaker, and will showcase relevance of work on the topic. Poster sessions with abundant time for full participant interaction will accompany each session. The forum will be organized to maximize the exchange of ideas between participants in open discussions. Sessions will provide ample opportunity to ask questions of individual presenters, assess the current state of our knowledge, and consider productive areas for future research. In addition to the formal meeting, there will be pre- and post-meeting field trips to examine the geology of selected areas in and around the Colorado Front Range. Short course topics will include: teaching structure lab with linear algebra and simple computing; the application of shear sense indicators in shear zones; introduction to terrestrial laser scanning (Ground-Based LiDAR) for Earth science research; using geodesy data in undergraduate structural geology and geophysics courses; strain programs for teaching and research; and preparing for academic careers in the geosciences.The forum is designed to facilitate community building and personal interaction within different segments of the structural geology community. It will bring together faculty from research universities, liberal arts colleges, community and two-year colleges, and minority-serving institutions. Importantly, there will be group discussions on critical developments in structural geology and tectonics, and what future research priorities should be. This community building effort will help create a stronger, more vibrant group of scientists and help introduce graduate students and advanced undergraduates to the structural geology and tectonics disciplines. The setting will be particularly useful for graduate students, who will be able to use the venue and informal nature of the forum to find out what research is taking place at other institutions, meet a wide range of faculty, and develop useful contacts which will be of great value to their future careers. Students will also be able to present their own work in a friendly environment where they can obtain thoughtful and useful feedback, as well as providing opportunity to build new scientific collaborations. Abstracts, field guides, and short course notes will be disseminated through a dedicated website that will be publicly accessible.

该奖项将支持2014年5月在科罗拉多州戈尔登的科罗拉多州矿业学院举行的第三次双年度结构地质和构造论坛。该论坛将召集口头和海报演示，实地考察和短期课程的结构地质和构造学专家。会议将包括三天的演讲，其中包括六个技术会议，包括地球科学学习和空间认知等主题；岩石圈变形和流变学；构造和地面过程之间的关系，包括新神经学；结构地质与自然资源之间的联系；以及用于结构分析和地球科学教育的定量方法。每个会议将重点介绍当前研究和/或教育的重要领域，将由杰出的主题演讲者锚定，并将展示有关该主题的工作相关性。每个会话都会伴随着充分参与者互动时间的海报会议。该论坛将组织起来，以最大程度地提高参与者之间的思想交流。会议将提供足够的机会来提出个别演示者的问题，评估我们的知识的当前状态，并考虑生产领域以供未来的研究。除了正式会议外，还将进行会议前和术后的实地考察，以检查科罗拉多州前范围内及其周围地区的选定区域的地质。短课程主题将包括：具有线性代数和简单计算的教学结构实验室；在剪切区域中应用剪切感指标；地球科学研究的陆地激光扫描简介（地面激光雷达）；在本科结构地质和地球物理学课程中使用地质数据；教学和研究计划；并为地球科学的学术职业做准备。它将汇集研究大学，文科学院，社区和两年学院以及少数派服务机构的教师。重要的是，将在结构地质和构造方面的关键发展以及未来的研究优先事项上进行小组讨论。这项社区建设的努力将有助于建立一个更强大，更充满活力的科学家群体，并有助于向研究生和高级本科生介绍结构地质和构造学科。该设置对于研究生将特别有用，他们将能够利用论坛的场地和非正式性质来找出其他机构正在进行的研究，遇到广泛的教职员工，并建立有用的联系，这对他们未来的职业将具有很高的价值。学生还将能够在友好的环境中介绍自己的作品，在那里他们可以获得周到且有用的反馈，并提供建立新的科学合作的机会。摘要，现场指南和简短课程笔记将通过专用网站进行传播，该网站将公开访问。
