The project provides travel and registration costs for graduate students and early career researchers to attend the 2020 Gordon Research Conference and Seminar on Rock Deformation. The conference will be held from August 8th to the 14th, 2020 at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. The Gordon Research Conferences and Seminars provide an international forum for the presentation and discussion of frontier scientific research, and invited presentations will highlight the latest results in a context that looks towards future scientific avenues. The topics that will be the topic of this activity include cutting-edge presentations and discussions of a variety of topics pertaining to rock deformation, including lithospheric rheology from small-scale experiments, fundamental frictional processes, earthquake mechanics; fault slip in natural environments, lower crustal dynamics, mantle rheology, and shallow and deep subduction processes. The Gordon Research Conferences and Seminars provide a unique opportunity for early-career scientists to come together in a highly stimulating and non-intimidating environment to discuss current research and build networks that can lead to a lifetime of collaboration and scientific achievement. In addition, the project will contribute to broadening of participation of underrepresented groups in science, technology, and mathematics (STEM) through recruitment of participants from underrepresented groups. The Gordon Research Conference and associated Gordon Research Seminar will foster development of new research directions in rock deformation and will contribute to the development of a diverse and globally competitive STEM workforce. The conference program includes topics of societal relevance that bear on the understanding of geologic hazards, which is of benefit to society.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.

该项目为研究生和早期职业研究人员提供参加 2020 年戈登研究会议和岩石变形研讨会的旅费和注册费用。会议将于2020年8月8日至14日在缅因州刘易斯顿的贝茨学院举行。戈登研究会议和研讨会为前沿科学研究的展示和讨论提供了一个国际论坛，受邀演讲将在展望未来科学道路的背景下重点介绍最新成果。本次活动的主题包括与岩石变形相关的各种主题的前沿演示和讨论，包括小规模实验中的岩石圈流变学、基本摩擦过程、地震力学；自然环境中的断层滑动、下地壳动力学、地幔流变学以及浅层和深层俯冲过程。戈登研究会议和研讨会为处于职业生涯早期的科学家提供了一个独特的机会，让他们在一个高度刺激和非恐吓性的环境中聚集在一起，讨论当前的研究并建立可以带来终生合作和科学成就的网络。此外，该项目还将通过招募代表性不足群体的参与者，促进扩大代表性不足群体对科学、技术和数学（STEM）的参与。戈登研究会议和相关的戈登研究研讨会将促进岩石变形新研究方向的发展，并将有助于培养多元化和具有全球竞争力的 STEM 劳动力。会议计划包括与社会相关的主题，这些主题涉及对地质灾害的理解，这对社会有益。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，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。
