This award provides support for travel participation of students, early-career professionals, and participants from underrepresented groups from the U.S. to attend the Geological Society of America-sponsored Penrose Conference: "Developing a new paradigm for the mid-Cretaceous to Eocene North American Cordillera: an obliquely convergent plate margin." The conference brings together~80 geoscientists to discuss the geologic history of how the margin of western North America evolved through time from 110 to 35 million years ago. This part of North America’s history involves significant (up to 4000 km) lateral (strike-slip) motion, such as that which currently occurs on the San Andreas fault. As a result, crustal blocks currently in Alaska may have existed offshore Mexico about 100 million years ago. Conference attendees will evaluate the tectonic evolution of plate margin by combining new and old ideas and the evidence that these ideas are based on. A better understanding of the ancient plate margin is important for understanding continental plate margins that are active today with similar characteristics, and the pre-existing structures that partially control recent plate tectonics. The conference brings together a diverse group of scientists that range in gender, career level, and ethnicity and will provide significant networking opportunities among these individuals, especially early-career scientists, and students.The Penrose conference will stimulate significant interaction of community members from around the world that are investigating different parts of the ca. 110–35 Ma tectonic history of the North America Cordillera and adjacent areas through a combination of field trips within Idaho, keynote presentations, and focused discussion sessions after the presentations. NSF funding will support registration and travel for students, early-career professionals, and participants from underrepresented groups from the U.S. to attend the conference. The funding also facilitates the production broadly accessible videos, livestreaming, and a public field trip organized by the. The Penrose conference will lead to the development of new ideas by a broad geoscience community about the evolution of obliquely convergent margins. A post award summary for publication in a geoscience journal will summarize key discussions, major outcomes, and the plan for future success in unraveling the tectonic history of the North American Cordillera. A professional special paper or memoir will disseminate key research contributions that arise from the conference. Finally, the conference brings together a diverse group of scientists that range in gender, career level, and ethnicity and will provide significant networking opportunities among these individuals, especially for early-career scientists, and students.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.

该奖项为来自美国的学生、职业生涯早期专业人士和来自代表性不足群体的参与者提供旅行参与支持，以参加美国地质学会赞助的彭罗斯会议：“为白垩纪中期至始新世北美科迪勒拉开发新范例：倾斜会聚的板块边缘。”会议聚集了约 80 名地球科学家，讨论北美西部边缘如何随时间从 110 年到 35 年演化的地质历史。北美历史的这一部分涉及显着的（长达 4000 公里）横向（走滑）运动，例如目前发生在圣安德烈亚斯断层上的运动。因此，目前阿拉斯加的地壳块体可能已经存在。大约一亿年前的墨西哥，与会者将通过结合新旧观点以及这些观点所依据的证据来了解板块边缘的构造演化，这对于理解评估大陆板块边缘非常重要。今天活跃的具有相似特征的结构，以及部分控制近期板块构造的现有结构，会议汇集了不同性别、职业水平和种族的不同科学家群体，并将为这些人提供重要的交流机会，彭罗斯会议将促进来自世界各地的社区成员的重要互动，他们通过结合以下方式研究北美科迪勒拉山脉和邻近地区约 110-35 Ma 构造历史的不同部分。实地考察在爱达荷州举行的主题演讲和演讲后的集中讨论会，国家科学基金会的资金将支持学生、职业生涯早期的专业人士和来自美国代表性不足的群体的参与者参加会议的注册和旅行。该资金还促进了会议的广泛开展。彭罗斯会议组织的视频、直播和公共实地考察将促使广大地球科学界提出关于倾斜收敛边缘演化的新想法，并在地球科学领域发表。期刊将总结关键讨论、主要成果以及未来成功阐明北美科迪勒拉山脉构造历史的计划。不同性别、职业水平和种族的不同科学家群体，将为这些人提供重要的交流机会，特别是对于职业生涯早期的科学家和学生。该奖项是 NSF 的法定使命，并通过评估被认为值得支持这基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
