The project will fund 15 early career scientists to attend the SEG-AGU workshop on the Geophysics of Convergent Margins being held at the University of Washington’s campus, in Seattle, WA from July 12-14 2022. These scientists will have the opportunity to network, present, and collaborate with other scientists who are studying different geophysical techniques and methods to understand the processes happening at subduction zones. Convergent plate margins are important to further our understanding and imaging of, as these tectonic environments (1) host the largest and most destructive earthquakes and related tsunamis, as well as the largest volcanic eruptions on Earth and (2) are accompanied by large onshore/offshore basins that are suitable for geothermal and hydrocarbon natural resources. They also (3) represent natural laboratories to study fundamental cycles of the Earth System (e.g. carbon, water, etc.) and the fluid exchange between the Earth and the oceans. Convergent plate margins are one of the more challenging research environments due to their structural complexity and their dynamic evolution on geologically short time scales. Over the last decade, the development of geophysical imaging and monitoring techniques as well as numerical and laboratory modeling have been proven useful to unravel some of the complexity of subduction zone processes. This funding will be used to aid early career scientists to travel to a conference focusing on these important topics.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.

该项目将资助 15 名早期职业科学家参加 SEG-AGU 收敛边缘地球物理学研讨会，该研讨会将于 2022 年 7 月 12 日至 14 日在华盛顿州西雅图华盛顿大学校园举行。这些科学家将有机会建立人际网络，目前，并与其他正在研究不同地球物理技术和方法的科学家合作，以了解俯冲带发生的过程对于进一步我们的理解和成像非常重要。构造环境 (1) 发生了地球上规模最大、最具破坏性的地震和相关海啸，以及最大规模的火山喷发；(2) 伴随着适合地热和碳氢化合物自然资源的大型陆上/近海盆地。研究地球系统基本循环（例如碳、水等）以及地球与海洋之间的流体交换的自然实验室是其中之一。由于其结构复杂性及其在地质短时间尺度上的动态演化，研究环境具有挑战性。在过去的十年中，地球物理成像和监测技术以及数值和实验室建模的发展已被证明有助于揭示俯冲的一些复杂性。这笔资金将用于帮助早期职业科学家参加关注这些重要主题的会议。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。
