This award is to facilitate the participation of early career scientists and students in the week-long 4th Gordon Research Conference on Natural Gas Hydrate Systems being held in Galveston, Texas February 28-March 4, 2016. The meeting is unique in that it fosters and spawns new directions in fundamental gas hydrates research, by providing a common forum for scientists from academe and industry, engineers, and students in fields and sectors that commonly do not interact. The meeting focuses on linking the latest advances on our understanding of gas hydrate science, at the most fundamental level, with current research problems of scientific, economic and societal relevance. The workshop is designed to provide valuable insights to researchers and interested parties in the private sector who are working on a gamut of gas hydrate issues encompassing: gas transport in pipelines, occurrence in sediments and the water column, impacts on geo-mechanics and sediment-hydrate interaction, sensor development and monitoring strategies, applications and challenges in cabled observatories, numerical simulations of reservoirs, and field programs looking at gas hydrate formation, accumulation and destabilization in the Arctic; Gulf of Mexico; North Atlantic; eastern and western Pacific; and Indian Oceans. Broader impacts of the work include encouragement and mentoring of early career scientists by a panel of gas hydrate experts who will not only enhance the early career participants' experience in the meeting, but will also provide mentoring and advice on scientific careers in a wide range of venues in the private sector and in academic settings. Workshop conveners will strive to select a mixture of gender, ages and nationalities among the presenters and discussion leaders. An emphasis in the discussions will be the operation and potential scientific issues related to the new NSF-funded Ocean Observing Initiative (OOI) and its node on Hydrate Ridge, offshore Oregon, to build knowledge and utilization of that new major scientific research facility.

该奖项旨在促进早期职业科学家和学生参加为期一周的第四届戈登天然气水合物系统研究会议，该会议将于 2016 年 2 月 28 日至 3 月 4 日在德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿举行。该会议的独特之处在于它促进和通过为学术界和工业界的科学家、工程师以及通常不相互作用的领域和部门的学生提供一个共同的论坛，催生了基础天然气水合物研究的新方向。会议的重点是在最基本的层面上将我们对天然气水合物科学理解的最新进展与当前科学、经济和社会相关的研究问题联系起来。 该研讨会旨在为研究人员和私营部门感兴趣的各方提供有价值的见解，他们正在研究各种天然气水合物问题，包括：管道中的天然气运输、沉积物和水柱中的发生、对地质力学和沉积物的影响。水合物相互作用、传感器开发和监测策略、有线观测站的应用和挑战、储层数值模拟以及北极地区天然气水合物形成、积累和不稳定的现场计划；墨西哥湾；北大西洋；东太平洋和西太平洋；和印度洋。 这项工作的更广泛影响包括天然气水合物专家小组对早期职业科学家的鼓励和指导，他们不仅会增强早期职业参与者在会议中的经验，而且还将为广泛的科学职业生涯提供指导和建议。私营部门和学术场所的场所。 研讨会召集人将努力在演讲者和讨论领导者中选择性别、年龄和国籍的混合体。讨论的重点将是与国家科学基金会资助的新海洋观测计划（OOI）及其位于俄勒冈州近海水合物岭的节点相关的运作和潜在科学问题，以建立知识和利用该新的主要科学研究设施。
