This award will provide partial support for the travel and associated expenses of graduate students and post doctoral scientists to attend the 6th Orogenic Lherzolite Conference in Marrakech, Morocco, May 4-15, 2014. The Orogenic Lherzolite Conferences are held at widely spaced intervals to bring together the international scientific community interested in studies of the Earth's upper mantle, as exposed in alpine Orogenic belts, ophiolites, continental margins, and the sea floor. In these conference, international scientists present new research relating to shallow mantle evolution, magma genesis, and the role of peridotites and serpentinites in different tectonic environments. The overall objective of this upcoming meeting will be to assemble specialists in studies of peridotite massifs and upper mantle processes for a field conference to share recent results and discuss key outcrops in a group setting. Many geochemists, petrologists and geophysicists primarily situated in laboratories or using remote sensing, particularly marine scientists, have little opportunity to examine the record of mantle processes visible in the field as exposed in rock outcrops. In past conferences of this nature, there has been a focus on providing all participating scientists with the opportunity to visit classic field outcrops, which is a particularly valuable education experience for students and post-docs at the early stage of their careers. The Beni Bousera orogenic lherzolite is one such classic mantle locality, where processes of mantle melting were first identified and studied in a sub-continental or continental margin setting.This award will benefit early career scientists to participate in the major international meeting that is exclusively focused on research and field observation of upper mantle composition and processes. Their participation will enable them the tools to advance their careers both through examining mantle outcrops and processes in-situ, and through interaction with a large group of international experts that is only infrequently assembled. This meeting also serves as an introduction for students and post-docs to allow them to network with each other as a cohort and also with others from the international scientific community working on these research questions. It is expected that these personal interactions will lead to valuable research collaborations for the next generation of scientists.

该奖项将为研究生和博士后科学家的旅行和相关费用提供部分支持边缘和海底。 在这些会议上，国际科学家提出了与浅层地幔进化，岩浆起源以及橄榄岩和蛇纹石在不同构造环境中的作用有关的新研究。即将举行的会议的总体目的是在橄榄岩地层和高地幔过程中组装专家，以分享最新结果，并在小组环境中讨论关键露头。许多地球化学家，岩石学家和地球物理学家主要位于实验室或使用遥感，尤其是海洋科学家，几乎没有机会检查岩石露头中暴露的野外可见地幔过程的记录。在过去的这种性质会议上，一直着重于为所有参与的科学家提供参观经典野外露头的机会，这是对学生和职业生涯早期阶段的学生的特别有价值的教育经验。贝尼·布塞拉（Beni Bousera）造口型lherzolite是一种经典的地幔当地，首先在次生或大陆边缘环境中识别并研究了地幔熔化过程。该奖项将使早期职业科学家有益于参与大型国际会议，专注于上层壁垒组成和过程的研究和现场观察。 他们的参与将使他们能够通过检查地幔露头和原位过程，以及与大量的国际专家进行互动，从而使他们能够提高职业生涯，这些工具很少被组装。这次会议还可以作为学生和培训后的介绍，以使他们可以作为一个队列，以及与国际科学界的其他人一起致力于这些研究问题的人建立联系。预计这些个人互动将为下一代科学家提供宝贵的研究合作。
