项目摘要

This grant provides funding to support early career scientists and those who are underrepresented in the geosciences to attend and participate in the Geological Society of America Penrose Conference, “The Role of Outburst Floods in Earth and Planetary Evolution,” held at Camp Delany Washington State Park in Coulee City, WA, on June 5-9, 2023. Outburst floods refer to very large flooding events, caused by breaches of impounded water bodies, that inundate landscapes with flow rates that may substantially exceed what is possible for the largest meteorological floods. Outburst floods are also well documented on Mars. This Penrose Conference enables new collaborations and understanding across a diverse set of researchers seeking to advance understanding of outburst floods. In addition to supporting participation by early career scientists and those who are underrepresented in the geosciences, NSF support enables professional development for participants through a structured mentoring opportunity that matches early career scientists with senior scientists.The objective of this Penrose Conference is to bring together a diverse community of scholars to discuss and debate the state-of-the-art and chart the future of outburst flood science. The conference is focused on four linked themes: 1) Channeled Scabland and the Missoula Floods; 2) universal occurrence of outburst floods on Earth and other planets; 3) mechanics of outburst flood processes; and 4) broader Earth system and societal implications of outburst floods. As such, this Geoscience Lessons for and from Other Worlds (GLOW) conference award supports the study of other worlds as a way to broaden and deepen understanding of the Earth and its evolution, as well as the use of geoscience knowledge to understand the environments of other worlds. The unique gathering of scientists focused on terrestrial and planetary outburst floods at this Penrose Conference fosters interactions that promote the cross-fertilization of concepts and lessons learned from studies of both terrestrial and planetary outburst floods.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.

这笔赠款提供资金支持早期职业科学家和那些在地球科学领域代表性不足的人参加在华盛顿州立公园德拉尼营地举行的美国地质学会彭罗斯会议“爆发洪水在地球和行星演化中的作用” 2023 年 6 月 5 日至 9 日，华盛顿州古利市。突发洪水是指因蓄水水体决口而引起的特大洪水事件，洪水淹没景观的流速为火星上爆发的洪水可能大大超过最大的气象洪水，这次彭罗斯会议除了支持早期的参与之外，还使不同的研究人员能够进行新的合作和理解。职业科学家和那些在地球科学领域代表性不足的人，国家科学基金会的支持通过结构化的指导机会为参与者提供专业发展，将早期职业科学家与资深科学家相匹配。本次彭罗斯会议的目的是汇集多元化的学者社区来讨论和讨论讨论爆发洪水科学的最新进展并规划未来，会议重点关注四个相关主题：1）斯卡布兰和米苏拉洪水；2）地球和其他行星上普遍发生的爆发洪水； ) 爆发洪水过程的机制；以及 4) 爆发洪水的更广泛的地球系统和社会影响因此，这个来自其他世界的地球科学教训 (GLOW) 会议奖项支持以下研究。在本次彭罗斯会议上，科学家们以独特的方式聚集在一起研究陆地和行星洪水，以此扩大和加深对地球及其演化的了解，并利用地球科学知识来了解其他世界的环境。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的评估进行评估，认为值得支持。智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
