A Workshop to Discuss A CLEANER (Collaborative Large-scale Environmental Assessment Network for Environmental Research) Neuse River Basin in North Carolina

0334288 Peirce清洁剂本次研讨会期间提议的（环境研究合作大规模环境分析网络）讨论将解决基础科学知识和工程方法方面的差距，这些差距与水、空气和土壤领域内的不同联网方法和地理上的大范围环境问题以及这些领域存在的问题有关：来源、工程控制、多媒体传输和转换以及效果。因此，更清洁的方法，其重点是一个网络（EAN）是合理的，因为需要解决类似的环境问题的广泛的地理规模不断变化的科学和工程的复杂性，目前的基本知识和模型缺乏和网络基础设施的支持是不可用的。因此，本次研讨会的目标是：（1）增加对如何在环境压力地区使用EAN实施清洁概念的理解;（2）在Neuse盆地案例研究中扩展环境科学和工程知识;（3）为研究、教学、本次研讨会将以前三次CLEANER研讨会的成果为基础。作为一个团体，拟议的联合主席以领导角色为这些以前的讲习班做出了贡献，在水、空气和土壤污染相互关系和控制的研究中进行了研究，并开发和应用了新的网络和网络基础设施，以解决新出现的问题：杜克大学的Jeff Peirce教授于2003年2月共同主持了NSF清洁剂研讨会III，并于2002年10月主持了研讨会2的地下水分组会议;（2）共同主席：杜克大学的Ken Reckhow教授和北卡罗来纳州立大学水资源研究所所长共同主持了第三次讲习班;（3）共同主持人：伊利诺伊大学国家超级计算应用中心的Tom Prudhomme博士参加了研讨会II和III，他是网络和网络基础设施及其在新兴问题领域的应用方面的专家。活动阶段：（1）在研讨会之前，将向与会者提供工作文件，讨论不同的清洁方法以及由联合主席汇编的纽斯河流域的水、空气和土壤质量数据;（2）在研讨会期间，将围绕拟议的议程项目进行大小小组讨论，并编写报告草稿;以及（3）研讨会结束后，信息将分发给所有参与者和NSF。参与者与在纽斯河流域，网络和网络基础设施，以及全国其他环境紧张地区的问题的理解已经或将从美国国家科学基金会，州和联邦研究机构，以及从NSF招募，重点是包括历史上在科学和工程中代表性不足的群体。

0334288 Peirce CLEANER (Collaborative Large-scale Environmental Analysis Network (EAN) forEnvironmental Research) discussions proposed during this workshop will address gaps in fundamental scientific knowledge and engineering approaches associated with different networking approaches and geographically large environmental issues within the water, air, and soil domains as well as issues that exist across these domains: sources, engineering controls, multimedia transport and transformation, and effects. Thus the CLEANER approach with its focus on a network (EAN) is justified by the need to address similar environmental issues of broad geographical scale evolving scientific and engineering complexity where current fundamental knowledge and models are lacking and cyberinfrastructural supports are not available. Thus the objectives of this workshop are to: (1) increase the understanding of how CLEANER concepts can be implemented using an EAN in environmentally stressed areas; (2) extend environmental scientific and engineering knowledge within the Neuse Basin case study; and, (3) contribute to the research, teaching, and mentoring activities of individual participants.This workshop will build on the accomplishments of three previous CLEANER workshops. As a group the proposed co-chairs have contributed to these previous workshops in leadership roles, conducted research in the study of water, air, and soil pollution interrelationships and control, and developed and applied new networks and cyberinfrastructures to emerging problem areas: (1) Co-Chair: Prof. Jeff Peirce of Duke University co-hosted NSF CLEANER Workshop III in February 2003 and was a leader of the groundwater breakout session at Workshop 2 in October 2002; (2) Co-Chair: Prof. Ken Reckhow of Duke University and Director of the Water Resources Research Institute at NC State University co-chaired Workshop III; and, (3) Co-Chair: Dr. Tom Prudhomme of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois participated in Workshops II and III and is an expert in networks and cyberinfrastructures and their applications to emerging problem areas.The workshop will be organized into three phases of activities: (1) prior to the workshop participants will be provided working papers that discuss different CLEANER approaches as well as water, air and soil quality data from the Neuse River Basin compiled by the Co-Chairs; (2) during the workshop large and small group discussions will be structured around the proposed agenda items and draft reports will be written; and, (3) after the workshop the information will be disseminated to all participants and to NSF. Participants with an understanding of the problems in the Neuse River Basin, networks and cyberinfrastructures, as well as other environmentally stressed regions across the nation have or will be recruited from academe, state and federal research agencies, as well as from NSF with an emphasis on including groups historically underrepresented in science and engineering.
