Workshop on Hazardous Mass-Flow Phenomena to be held at Rolla, Missouri on February 27-28, 1992

将于1992年2月27日至28日在罗拉的密苏里大学举行一次关于“有害质量流动现象”的讲习班。会议的目标是制定流体力学、土壤科学和水文学这一领域的研究议程；优先考虑与质量流实验方法和目前用于检测和测量这类流量的仪器有关的关键问题；促进本领域研究人员之间的交流与合作。泥石流是最危险的自然现象之一，人们对其了解不多，但却经常在世界各地造成广泛的破坏。通过研究对知识库的改进将导致对这类物质流动采取更好的缓解程序。

A Workshop on "Hazardous Mass-Flow Phenomena" will be held at the University of Missouri at Rolla on February 27-28, 1992. The objectives of the meeting is to develop a research agenda in this area of fluid mechanics, soil sciences and hydrology; to prioritize key issues pertaining to experimental methods on mass-flow and instrumentation now used for detecting and measuring this type of flows; and to promote communication and cooperation between researchers in this field. Mud and debris flows are among the most hazardous, and not well understood, natural phenomena that frequently cause extensive damage around the world. Improvements in the knowledge base through research will result in better mitigation procedures for this kind of mass- flows.
