This award will support the 25th Gordon Research Conference (GRC) in the field of mineral resources geochemistry, and the first ever Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) that targets early-career scientists. Funding will significantly reduce the cost of attendance for early-career scientists, defined here as students, and post-docs and tenure-track and tenured faculty within five years of having earned their doctoral degree, and for under-represented minorities. National and international researchers in the field of mineral resources will gather to discuss issues concerning the geochemistry of metal transportation and deposition in the natural environment. The format of this meeting provides an outstanding opportunity to mentor future generations of scientists who will be responsible for ensuring the sustainable supply of resources, including critical metals, for society. Participating early-career scientists will engage with representatives from academia and various government agencies and laboratories, as well as from the mining and geothermal industries, who bring to the group their experience and expertise concerning immediate problems requiring practical solutions. The GRC and GRS meetings on Geochemistry of Mineral Deposits will cover a broad range of topics across all scales, from nano-particles to crustal. The GRC will open with a discussion of how ore deposits relate to the evolution of the Earth's hydrosphere and lithosphere. Morning sessions include detailed appraisals of mineralizing processes in all key ore-forming environments on Planet Earth, its oceans and basins, metamorphic and magmatic environments, and areas of active deformation. Evening sessions will focus on the timing and duration of mineralizing processes, how weathering can enhance, obscure or destroy ore deposits, the latest advances in geochemical exploration for ore deposits, and predictions of future directions in ore deposit geochemistry research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项将支持矿产资源地球化学领域的第 25 届戈登研究会议 (GRC) 以及首届针对早期职业科学家的戈登研究研讨会 (GRS)。资金将显着降低早期职业科学家（此处定义为学生）、获得博士学位后五年内的博士后、终身教授和终身教授以及代表性不足的少数族裔的就读成本。国内外矿产资源领域的研究人员将齐聚一堂，讨论自然环境中金属运移和沉积的地球化学问题。这次会议的形式提供了一个绝佳的机会来指导未来几代科学家，他们将负责确保社会资源（包括关键金属）的可持续供应。参与的早期职业科学家将与来自学术界、各个政府机构和实验室以及采矿和地热行业的代表进行接触，他们为小组带来了有关需要实际解决方案的紧迫问题的经验和专业知识。 GRC 和 GRS 关于矿床地球化学的会议将涵盖从纳米颗粒到地壳的所有尺度的广泛主题。 GRC 将首先讨论矿床与地球水圈和岩石圈演化的关系。上午的会议包括对地球上所​​有关键成矿环境、海洋和盆地、变质和岩浆环境以及活动变形区域的矿化过程的详细评估。晚间会议将重点关注矿化过程的时间和持续时间，风化如何增强、掩盖或破坏矿床，矿床地球化学勘探的最新进展，以及矿床地球化学研究未来方向的预测。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定奖项使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
