Layered mafic intrusions are scientifically and economically important because they are the geological reservoir for 80% of the palladium and other platinum group elements that derives from high-risk jurisdictions, such as South Africa, Zimbabwe, or the Russian Federation. In the US, layered intrusions such as the Stillwater Complex, have supplied chromium ore and other economic resources over the years. These complexes constitute world class natural laboratories to train students in igneous petrology and economic geology. This award will support the travel and registration costs required for the participation of ten early-career scientists and graduate students in the Geological Society of America (GSA) Penrose Conference on 'Layered mafic intrusions and associated economic deposits' that will be held in Red Lodge, Montana, U.S.A. from August 8th to 12th, 2016. Advances in science often occur when scientists talk to each other, discuss their results and formulate new hypotheses. The format of GSA Penrose conferences provides the opportunity for in-depth interactions amongst participants for several days of focused discussion. National and international experts will interact with early-career scientists to brainstorm on new approaches and pressing questions regarding the origin, evolution and ore deposit formation of layered mafic intrusions. The conference also provides the best venue to allow the next generation of scientists to meet and interact with industry professionals in the area of ore genesis and exploration. Finally, it is expected that the conference will provide clarity on key topics primed for advance on understanding layered mafic intrusions over the next decade.The main goals of this Geological Society of America (GSA) Penrose conference are i) to explore recent advances in the petrology, geochemistry and economic geology of layered mafic intrusions; ii) to enhance the training of early-career and graduate scientists in any aspect of the geosciences pertaining to layered mafic intrusions; and iii) to define the key questions regarding layered mafic intrusions that need to be addressed in the coming decade. This award will provide support for ten early-career scientists to attend this conference.

分层的镁铁质侵入在科学和经济上很重要，因为它们是80％的钯和其他铂金组元素的地质储层，这些元素来自高危司法管辖区，例如南非，津巴布韦或俄罗斯联邦。多年来，在美国，诸如Stillwater综合体等分层入侵已经提供了铬矿石和其他经济资源。这些综合体构成了世界一流的自然实验室，以培训学生的岩石学和经济地质学。该奖项将支持美国地质学会（GSA）彭罗斯（GSA）彭罗斯（Penrose）参加“分层梅菲侵入和相关的经济矿床”会议所需的旅行和注册费用。 GSA Penrose会议的格式为参与者之间的深入互动提供了几天的重点讨论的机会。国家和国际专家将与早期职业科学家进行互动，以了解新方法，并提出有关分层镁铁质侵入的起源，进化和矿石沉积形成的问题。该会议还提供了最佳的场所，使下一代科学家能够与矿石创世纪和探索领域的行业专业人员见面并互动。最后，预计会议将对在未来十年中理解分层的镁铁质入侵的主要主题提供明确的态度。该美国地质学会（GSA）彭罗斯会议的主要目标是i）探索岩石学，地球化学和经济地质学的最新进步； ii）在与分层的镁铁质侵入有关的地球科学方面的任何方面，都会加强对早期职业和研究生科学家的培训； iii）定义有关在未来十年需要解决的分层镁铁质入侵的关键问题。该奖项将为十位职业科学家参加这次会议的支持。
