Catastrophic Flooding Conference

关于“灾难性洪水”的研讨会将于1987年9月26-28日在俄亥俄州牛津的迈阿密大学举行。本次会议的目的是介绍正在进行的研究的结果，讨论其局限性，并确定这一领域未来需要进行哪些研究。提交论文的国家和国际发言者代表了对极端和罕见洪水事件的不同观点，其中包括工程师、气候学家、地貌学家和水文学家。会议期间将举行为期半天的研讨会，与会者将有机会深入讨论这些水文和地貌问题、评估灾难性洪水风险所需的数据类型、现有模型的适用性以及最有希望的新研究领域。会议记录将公布并分发给参与者和其他感兴趣的各方。会议纪要将提交给美国地球物理联盟出版。私人投资局有能力举办专题讨论会和研讨会，并提交了一份经修订的被认为合适的预算。建议设立一个奖项。

A symposium on "Catastrophic Flooding" will be held on September 26-28, 1987, at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. The purpose of this meeting is to present results of ongoing research to discuss the limitations of it, and to determine what future research is needed in this area. The national and international speakers presenting papers represent a diverse perspective on extreme and rare flood events and include engineers, climatologists, geomorphologists and hydrologists. A half- day workshop which will take place during the conference, will provide the attendees with an opportunity to discuss in depth these hydrologic and geomorphic problems, the type of data needed to assess the risks of catastrophic floods, the suitability of current models, and the most promising new areas of research. Proceedings will be published and distributed to the participants and other interested parties. A summary of the proceedings will be submitted to the American Geophysical Union for publication. The P.I. is capable to conduct the symposium and workshop and has submitted a revised budget that is judged suitable. An award is recommended.
