Travel support for AGU Chapman Conference: State-of-the-Art in Hillslope Hydrology

0106612 band我们请求资助，以帮助支持受邀参加AGU查普曼会议的国际和国内演讲者以及其他年轻科学家和学生的差旅费用。查普曼会议的主题是“山坡水文学的最新技术”，将于2001年10月举行。它已经被AGU批准，并由水文学和生物地球科学部门共同主办。本次会议将重点回顾和评估我们目前在山坡水文学方面的知识，重点是水进入和流经山坡系统并进入接收流的过程。我们将征集论文的主要子主题将包括山坡水输入和输出的机制和模式，流道的分布和动态，地表和地下土壤水分和土壤水力特性的空间模式，这些过程和状态的测量或推断方法，以及它们在模型中的表示。这一研究重点对暴雨至季节时间尺度下山坡和流域水文曲线的形成、沉积物和化学负荷向河流的转化和输出、植被冠层的分布和动态以及陆地/大气相互作用具有重要意义。会议将汇集该领域的国际知名研究人员与年轻科学家和学生，并将促进研究成果、悬而未决的问题和发展中的理论和技术的广泛交流。会议形式将包括上午的邀请全体会议报告，随后是下午的海报会议和主持讨论，以及晚上的额外全体会议演讲和讨论。下午将预留充足的自由时间，以便进行娱乐活动和小组讨论。其中一天将进行HJ Andrews实验流域的实地考察，并进行为期半天的实地考察，在现场进行山坡水文相关研究。将邀请同行评议的研究论文作为AGU专著或水资源研究特刊出版。

0106612BandWe request funding to help support travel expenses for invited international and domestic speakers as well as additional junior scientists and students for and AGU Chapman Conference. The Chapman Conference is entitled "State-of-the-art in hillslope hydrology," and will occur in October, 2001. It is already approved by AGU and cosponsored by the Hydrology and Biogeoscience Sections. This conference will focus on a review and assessment of our current knowledge in hillslope hydrology, with an emphasis on the processes by which water enters and moves through hillslope systems and into a receiving stream. Major subtopics for which we will solicit papers will include mechanisms and patterns of water input and output from hillslopes, the distribution and dynamics of flowpaths, spatial patterns of surface and subsurface soil moisture and soil hydraulic properties, methods of measurement or inference of these processes and states, and their representation in models. This focus has important implications for the formation of hillslope and watershed hydrographs at the storm to seasonal time scale, the transformation and export of sediment and chemical load to streams, the distribution and dynamics of the vegetation canopy, and land/atmosphere interactions. The conference will bring together internationally recognized researchers in the field with younger scientists and students and will promote an extensive exchange of research finding, outstanding questions and developing theories and techniques. The conference format will include invited plenary presentations in the morning, followed by poster sessions and moderated discussion in the afternoons, and an additional plenary talk and discussion in the evening. Sufficient free time during the afternoon will be reserved to allow both recreational activity and smaller group discussion. One day will be devoted to a field trip to the HJ Andrews Experimental Watershed for brief presentations and a half day field trip revolving hillslope hydrology related research at the site. Peer review research papers will be solicited for publications of the proceedings, either as an AGU Monograph or as a special issues of Water Resources Research.
