Scientific advancement in Environmental Physical and Mathematical Sciences and Engineering, and Geosciences require comprehensive multidisciplinary education and research at the cutting edge of science and technology. The requested program at the University of Missouri-Columbia addresses the related critical need for human resources by providing PhD level education to five NSF Trainees in the multidisciplinary investigation of Particulate Systems, both natural and engineered. NSF Trainees will be recruited through vigorous advertising throughout the nation. MU has a history of successful recruiting and nurturing of talented undergraduate students (~70; a major portion of whom are from groups underrepresented in science and engineering) through the NSF-REU in Particulate Systems Engineering program. The requested Traineeships will allow significant opportunities to the brightest of these students, as well as others to be recruited for the awards. The program will provide Trainees with a challenging yet supportive environment. Students will receive both the MS and PhD degrees from the participating academic disciplines in engineering and the sciences, and the program faculty will carefully plan and monitor the students' teaching and research development. Curricula for the GRA Trainees will include classes in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, particulate systems, atmospheric dynamics, atomic and molecular physics and chemistry, computational chemistry and climatology. Experimental research will focus on characterizations and measurements of particle-vapor (gas) and particle-particle interactions, dry and wet disposition of particles and gases, trace gas emissions and transformations, and radiative properties of particles. Theoretical and computationally intensive projects will focus on sulfur chemistry, particle dynamics and general circulation models. The education and training of students emphasize integrated approaches to complex environmental problems. Professional development opportunities for the Trainees will include internships at the national laboratories and industrial research centers in the U.S., and possibly at prestigious universities/institutions in the U.S., Germany, Japan, and Russia that conducts relevant particulate systems investigations. The University of Missouri system educational mission charges MU with special responsibilities for graduate education. The College of Engineering specifically has made major investments in infrastructure (new building, renovations, equipment, computing). The project faculty are dedicated to the success of the program, and funding will lead to truly unique, interdisciplinary opportunities for the Trainees.

环境物理和数学科学与工程以及地球科学的科学进步需要在科学和技术的前沿进行全面的多学科教育和研究。 密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校的要求方案通过向五名NSF受训人员提供自然和工程颗粒系统多学科调查的博士学位教育，解决了对人力资源的相关关键需求。 NSF培训生将通过全国各地的大力广告招募。 MU有成功招聘和培养有才华的本科生（约70人;其中大部分来自科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体）的历史，通过NSF-REU颗粒系统工程计划。 所要求的培训将为这些学生中最聪明的学生以及其他被招募的学生提供重要的机会。 该计划将为学员提供一个具有挑战性但支持性的环境。 学生将获得工程和科学参与学科的MS和博士学位，项目教师将仔细规划和监督学生的教学和研究发展。 GRA受训人员的课程将包括热力学、流体动力学、微粒系统、大气动力学、原子和分子物理学和化学、计算化学和气候学等课程。 实验研究将侧重于粒子-蒸汽（气体）和粒子-粒子相互作用的表征和测量，粒子和气体的干湿处置，痕量气体排放和转化，以及粒子的辐射特性。 理论和计算密集型项目将集中在硫化学，粒子动力学和大气环流模型。 对学生的教育和培训强调对复杂的环境问题采取综合办法。 培训生的专业发展机会将包括在美国国家实验室和工业研究中心实习，也可能在美国著名的大学/机构，德国、日本和俄罗斯进行相关的微粒系统调查。 密苏里州系统教育使命的大学收费MU与研究生教育的特殊责任。 工程学院特别在基础设施（新建筑，翻新，设备，计算）方面进行了重大投资。 项目教师致力于该计划的成功，资金将为学员带来真正独特的跨学科机会。
