Assessment of Soil Erosion and Environmental Problems in China's Yellow River Watershed

西北农林科技大学执行副校长李静教授已向11位美国科学家发出个人邀请，帮助中国评估黄河流域的土壤侵蚀和环境问题。这11名科学家中有9名是美国政府雇员。这两名非政府科学家需要国际旅行和相关费用的支持。拟议中的两名非政府美国科学家的参与扩大了该小组所代表的科学学科的范围。此次访问将使从事该主题研究的美国科学家了解中国正在进行的项目和实地情况，并提供可用于在比在美国发现的任何极端条件下发展对过程基本原理的科学理解的数据。在中国境内的所有住宿和旅行费用将由东道国承担。这些资金将用于支付代表团两名非政府成员的国际和杂项费用。一份关于问题、观察、结论和建议的报告将被提交给主办者和NSF赞助者。

0101353SpriggThe Executive Vice-President of Northwest Science and Technology University of Agriculture and Forestry, Professor Li Jing, has sent personal invitations to 11 U.S. scientists to help China assess soil erosion and environmental problems in the Yellow River watershed. Nine of the 11 scientists are employees of the U.S. government. The two non-government scientists require support for international travel and related expenses.The proposed participation of two non-governmental U.S. scientists broadens the range of scientific disciplines represented on the team. The trip would expose U.S. scientists working on the topic to programs under way and to field conditions in China and provide access to data that can be used to develop a scientific understanding of the process fundamentals in conditions more extreme than any found in the United States. All housing and travel expenses inside China will be supported by the host country. These funds would support international and incidental expenses for the two non-government members of the delegation.A report of the issues, observations, conclusions, and recommendations will be submitted to both the host and the NSF sponsor.
