U.S.-Korea Seminar on Reduction of Natural Disaster in Water Environment, Seoul, Korea, July 17-21, 1995

小行星9521457 这个病房提供资金，允许Nani Bhowmik博士，头，水文处，伊利诺伊州水调查，进行与博士Il Won Seo，土木工程教授，首尔国立大学，美国-韩国减少水环境自然灾害联合讨论会。 该奖项将支持10名美国科学家/工程师和2名美国研究生的参与，每人将提交科学论文。 减少水环境中的自然灾害是世界许多地区极为关注的问题。 在美国，在1993年密西西比河、密苏里州河和伊利诺斯河发生大洪水之后，人们特别注意到需要尽量减少这种自然灾害。 由于1993年的洪水，其他国家对预防或减少洪水灾害的科学和工程方面的兴趣也有所增加。 预防和减少由于水坝倒塌和其他原因造成的灾害也是令人感兴趣的。 联合研讨会将为美国与会者提供一个机会，与韩国科学家和工程师就联合研讨会领域的问题交流科学信息。 来自两国的与会者都是公认的专家，他们的发言将对双方都有好处。 该项目与美国的目标有关- 韩国合作科学计划，旨在通过科学信息、思想、技能和技术的交流，以及通过在共同感兴趣和互利的问题上的合作，提高美国和韩国科学家和工程师之间的合作水平。 韩国的参与得到了韩国科学和工程基金会的支持，并得到了韩国水资源公司和韩国建筑技术研究所的合作。 ***

9521457 Bhowmik This a ward provides funds to permit Dr. Nani Bhowmik, Head, Hydrology Division, Illinois State Water Survey, to conduct with Dr. Il Won Seo, Professor of Civil Engineering, Seoul National University, a U.S.-Korea Joint Seminar on the Reduction of Natural Disasters in Water Environments. This award will support the participation of ten U.S. scientists/engineers and two U.S. graduate students, each of whom will present scientific papers. The reduction of natural disasters in water environments is a matter of great concern in many parts of the world. In the United States, the need for minimizing such natural disasters has been given special attention following the great flood of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois Rivers in 1993. Because of the 1993 flood, interest in the scientific and engineering aspects of disaster prevention or reduction due to flooding also has grown in other countries, as well. Prevention and reduction of disaster due to the failure of dams and other causes also is of interest. The joint seminar will provide an opportunity for U.S. participants to exchange scientific information with Korean scientists and engineers on problems in the field of this joint seminar. The participants from both countries are recognized experts whose presentations will be of mutual interest and benefit. This project is relevant to the objectives of the U.S.- Korea Cooperative Science Program which seeks to increase the level of cooperation between U.S. and Korean scientists and engineers through the exchange of scientific information, ideas, skills, and techniques and through collaboration on problems of mutual interest and benefit. Korean participation is supported by the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF) with the cooperation of the Korea Water Resources Corporation (KOWACO) and the Korea Institute of Construction Technology (KICT). ***
