Financial support is requested from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to convene a workshop for researchers in the area of low-temperature geochemistry, and the goal of this workshop will be to develop, prioritize, and recommend research directions and opportunities in the area of low temperature geochemistry to be funded by NSF in the coming decade. The directions and priorities derived from this workshop will be reported to the Board of Earth Science Resources (BESR), National Resource Council of the National Academy of Sciences. As detailed in Letter to Colleagues from NSF (NSF Geosciences Beyond 2000: A Window on the First Decade), the maintenance of a habitable Earth in context to increasing demand for Earth'' resources (air, water, soil, metals and non-metals) is a pressing societal concern. The improved understanding of the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and interconnection of the lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere (the Earth System) by geochemical cycles are first-order scientific problems. Research addressing the interconnections within the Earth System and Man's impact on Earth may also require a fresh approach(es) in terms of new research directions to be pursued compared to the present ongoing research directions. The anticipated outcomes from this workshop will be a report documenting research directions and priorities submitted to BESR and, in addition to research directions and priorities, this report will also comment on the need for the development (or on the development itself) of useful and appropriate geochemically based topics to be included in undergraduate and graduate geoscience curricula.

要求美国国家科学基金会（NSF）提供财政支持，为低温地球化学领域的研究人员举办一次研讨会，该研讨会的目标是制定、优先考虑和推荐未来十年由NSF资助的低温地球化学领域的研究方向和机会。本次研讨会得出的方向和优先事项将向国家科学院国家资源理事会地球科学资源委员会（BESR）报告。 正如《致NSF同事的信》（NSF地球科学2000年以后：第一个十年的窗口）中所详述的那样，在对地球资源（空气、水、土壤、金属和非金属）的需求不断增加的情况下，维持一个可居住的地球是一个紧迫的社会问题。 通过地球化学循环提高对岩石圈、水圈、大气圈以及岩石圈、水圈和大气圈（地球系统）相互联系的认识是一级科学问题。 与目前正在进行的研究方向相比，解决地球系统内部的相互联系和人类对地球的影响的研究也可能需要在新的研究方向方面采取新的方法。 本次研讨会的预期成果将是一份报告，记录研究方向和优先事项提交给BESR，除了研究方向和优先事项，本报告还将评论需要开发（或开发本身）的有用和适当的地球化学为基础的主题，将包括在本科和研究生地球科学课程。
