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

0334288 Peirce CLEANER（协同大规模环境分析网络（EAN）环境研究）研讨会期间提出的讨论将解决与不同网络方法相关的基础科学知识和工程方法的差距，以及水，空气和土壤领域内的地理大环境问题以及这些领域存在的问题。来源，工程控制，多媒体传输和转换，和效果。因此，以网络（EAN）为重点的CLEANER方法是合理的，因为需要解决类似的具有广泛地理范围的不断发展的科学和工程复杂性的环境问题，这些问题缺乏当前的基础知识和模型，并且无法获得网络基础设施支持。因此，本讲习班的目标是：(1)增加对如何在环境紧张地区使用EAN实施更清洁概念的理解；(2)在Neuse Basin案例研究中扩展环境科学和工程知识；(3)为个别参与者的研究、教学和指导活动做出贡献。本次讲习班将以前三届清洁工人讲习班的成果为基础。联合主席：杜克大学的Jeff Peirce教授于2003年2月共同主持了NSF第三次清洁研讨会，并于2002年10月主持了第二次研讨会的地下水突破会议；(2)联合主席：杜克大学教授、北卡罗来纳州立大学水资源研究所所长Ken Reckhow共同主持第三次研讨会；(3)联合主席：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应用方面的专家。研讨会将分为三个阶段的活动：(1)在研讨会之前，将向与会者提供讨论不同的CLEANER方法的工作文件，以及由联合主席汇编的Neuse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组织大型和小型小组讨论，并撰写报告草案；(3)研讨会结束后，将向所有与会者和NSF发布相关信息。了解Neuse河流域、网络和网络基础设施以及全国其他环境紧张地区问题的参与者已经或将从学术界、州和联邦研究机构以及国家科学基金会招募，重点是包括历史上在科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体。

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.
