This travel award will provide support for six early career scientists from the U.S. to attend an international Chapman conference on Arctic magmatism. The purpose of the conference is to synthesize understanding of geology and geophysics of the Arctic Ocean and the surrounding continents and to identify areas ripe for future research. To inform the broader scientific community, the organizers will publish a white paper summarizing these points and also will hold a post-conference session at the American Geophysical Union's Fall 2020 meeting. This project ensures early career scientists from the U.S. will be able to participate in an upcoming AGU Chapman Conference in Selfoss, Iceland, Large-scale Volcanism in the Arctic: The Role of the Mantle and Tectonics. It will focus on five themes: 1) Pre-breakup rifting; 2) seafloor spreading; 3) mantle-derived heterogeneity (including plumes and large-igneous provinces); 4) subduction related volcanism; and 5) High Arctic Large Igneous Province and environmental effects extending from the Paleozoic to the present day.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.

该旅行奖将为来自美国的六名早期职业科学家提供支持，参加国际查普曼北极岩浆主义会议。会议的目的是综合对北极海洋和周围大陆的地质和地球物理学的了解，并确定未来研究的领域。为了告知更广泛的科学界，组织者将发表一份白皮书，总结这些观点，并在美国地球物理联盟的2020年秋季会议上举行会议后会议。该项目确保来自美国的早期职业科学家将能够参加即将举行的Agu Chapman会议，冰岛，冰岛，大规模的火山主义在北极：地幔和构造的作用。它将重点放在五个主题上：1）爆破前裂谷； 2）海底蔓延； 3）地幔衍生的异质性（包括羽毛和大型省）； 4）俯冲相关的火山； 5）高北极大火成岩省和环境影响从古生代延伸到当今。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准，被认为值得通过评估来提供支持。
