This project supports the 7th Biennial Structural Geology and Tectonics (SGT) Forum, planned for June 2024 in Bellingham, Washington. The SGT Forum is a grassroots, volunteer-run, community meeting in structural geology and tectonics. Over the past decade, the SGT Forum has provided a venue for investigators and educators to communicate, develop, and advance research and teaching in the discipline. Within the geosciences, the field of Structural Geology and Tectonics covers topics that deal with gaining a better understanding of the history and effects of plate motions, and includes studies of fault zones, earthquakes and seismic hazards, determining the history of past plate motions and their influence on volcanic processes and mountain-building events. The meeting location provides an ideal opportunity to gather interested geoscientists in a setting that has a rich and varied array of active and ancient plate tectonic environments in a region with a large number of geoscientists working together to better understand a large set of structural and tectonic issues. The campus of Western Washington University will be the meeting location, and the meeting will recruit and invite a diverse array of geoscientists to participate and will actively seek participation from local and regional 2-year colleges and other institutions with diverse students and faculty. Early career faculty and graduate students will be strongly encouraged to participate, and we will plan for a rich set of networking and professional development opportunities as part of the meeting. Outcomes that stem from this meeting will include better identification of priorities and advances in structural geology and tectonic problems for the Pacific NW region, improvements in training and professional development of geoscience researchers, and to improve community ties and communication and professional networking among the participating geoscientists and the different institutions they work for. Overall, this will result in better understanding of seismic activity and hazards of the region, and improve our understanding of its history of plate-margin processes, which together will benefit the citizens of the region and the nation at large.The SGT Forum is a platform for building research connections and informal mentorship. Gathering and soliciting meeting participants from a diverse range of professional experience and background will foster greater engagement and participation in geosciences and structural/tectonic research and activities. Three principal goals of the SGT Forum: 1) To identify priorities and share advances in research findings and techniques particular to problems in structural geology and tectonics, 2) To address training and professional development for researchers at all stages, 3) To facilitate networking and community building. For the meeting in Bellingham, they take advantage of local field opportunities and expertise. The setting also brings a natural connection to large research initiatives, and a chance to broaden engagement. The goal is to connect field trips and workshops to talks, poster sessions, and panel discussions across several themes:Deformation of mafic and ultramafic rocks. Activities include a field trip to Twin Sisters dunite; StraboMicro demonstration; research presentations highlighting results from field and lab; and open discussion of research priorities. Subduction zone geology. Activities include a field trip to San Juan Islands accreted terranes; research presentations Cascadia accretionary complex and fore-arc deformation; showcase collaborative opportunities with USGS & State mapping efforts; discussion of SZ4D GeoArray and CRESCENT Community Fault Model initiatives. Collisional and transpressional orogens. Activities include a field trip to Cascades crystalline core, research presentations; discussion: building on recent regional and Penrose meetings. Magnetic fabrics and paleomagnetism. Proposed meeting activities include a short workshop on applications of paleomagnetism and magnetic fabrics to SGT problems, field sampling, lab methods and analytical tools. Research presentations in these areas, and a preview of StraboMag will also be featured. Field geology instruction. Proposed meeting activities: poster session and panel discussion: the future of field camp, field safety and field ethics; StraboSpot demo; tools and best practices for increasing access to field geology experiences and field data.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.

该项目支持计划于2024年6月在华盛顿的贝灵汉举行的第七届双年展结构地质与构造学（SGT）论坛。中士论坛是基层，志愿者经营，结构地质和构造学的社区会议。在过去的十年中，中士论坛为调查人员和教育者提供了一个场所，以在学科中进行沟通，发展和提高研究和教学。在地球科学中，结构地质和构造的领域涵盖了对板块运动的历史和影响更好的理解的主题，包括对断层区，地震和地震危害的研究，确定过去板块运动的历史及其对火山过程和山地建造事件的影响。会议地点提供了一个理想的机会，可以在一个环境中收集感兴趣的地球科学家，该环境中有各种各样的活跃而古老的板块构造环境，其中大量的地球科学家共同努力，以更好地了解一系列结构性和构造问题。西华盛顿大学的校园将是会议地点，该会议将招募并邀请各种各样的地球科学家参加，并将积极寻求与当地和地区的2年学院以及其他不同学生和教职员工的参与。早期的职业教师和研究生将受到强烈的鼓励，我们将计划为会议的一部分提供大量的网络和专业发展机会。这次会议的结果将包括更好地识别太平洋西北地区的结构地质和构造问题的优先级和进步，地球科学研究人员的培训和专业发展的改善和专业发展，以及改善参与的地球科学家及其工作的不同机构之间的社区关系以及社区联系以及专业网络。总体而言，这将使人们更好地了解该地区的地震活动和危害，并提高我们对板块修订过程的历史的理解，这将使该地区和国家的公民共同使整个地区的公民受益。SGT论坛是建立研究联系和非正式指导的平台。来自各种专业经验和背景的聚会和征求会议参与者将促进更多的参与和参与地球科学以及结构/构造研究和活动。中士论坛的三个主要目标：1）确定重点并分享有关结构地质和构造学特定问题的研究发现和技术的进步，2）解决各个阶段研究人员的培训和专业发展，3），以促进网络和社区建设。在贝灵汉举行的会议上，他们利用了当地的现场机会和专业知识。该环境还带来了与大型研究计划的自然联系，并有机会扩大参与度。目的是将实地考察和讲习班与几个主题的谈话，海报会议和小组讨论联系起来：Mafic和Ultramafic Rocks的变形。活动包括去双胞胎姐妹杜尼特的实地考察； Strabomicro示范；研究演讲强调了现场和实验室的结果；并公开讨论研究重点。俯冲带地质。活动包括去圣胡安群岛的实地考察；研究演示文稿Cascadia增生复合物和前弧变形；展示与USGS和州映射工作的合作机会；讨论SZ4D地理隔间和新月社区故障模型计划。碰撞和换压Orogens。活动包括进行级联晶体核心的实地考察，研究演示；讨论：基于最近的区域和彭罗斯会议。磁性织物和古磁性。拟议的会议活动包括关于古磁性和磁性织物在SGT问题，现场采样，实验室方法和分析工具中应用的简短研讨会。这些领域的研究演讲以及Strabomag的预览也将得到介绍。现场地质教学。拟议的会议活动：海报会议和小组讨论：实地营地，现场安全和现场道德的未来； Strabospot演示；该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，可以通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准来评估，这反映了NSF的法定任务，以提高获得现场地质经验和现场数据的最佳实践。
