Water Rock Interaction - 11

2004年6月27日至7月2日，第十一届水岩相互作用国际研讨会（WRI-11）将在美国纽约州萨拉托加斯普林斯举行。本次会议由国际地球化学和宇宙化学协会的水-岩相互作用工作组主办，为水地球化学、生物地球化学、水文地球化学、有机水地球化学、地热化学、变质流体化学、沉积成岩作用和环境地球化学等领域的学生提供了与类似领域的国际科学家和工程师交流的最佳机会之一。这次会议将国际科学家聚集在一个正式的科学环境中，但也提供了一个非正式的社会项目，让学生和科学家在一个充满活力的环境中相互交流和学习。在这方面，这次会议代表了对水与岩石相互作用的化学感兴趣的学生与来自世界各地的初级和高级科学家见面的最佳环境。国际焦点让学生了解水问题和解决方案，以及了解来自世界各地的地球化学环境。会议的跨学科性质，低温地球化学家与高温地球化学家的交流，也为高温地球化学家与环境地球化学家在一个中等规模的会议上讨论共同感兴趣的问题提供了新的科学方法。在这个提案中，我们请求支持以补贴学生会议的费用。这项补贴的广泛影响如下：1)提高了在读研究生对当前水岩相互作用领域的理解；2)研究生有机会在职业生涯的早期阶段与来自世界各地的国际同事建立牢固的联系；3)研究生有机会以口头或海报的形式向本领域500名左右的顶尖科学家展示他们的研究成果；4)研究生有机会参加由当地专家带领的阿迪朗达克山脉和萨拉托加斯普林斯地区的实地考察

ABSTRACTDuring June 27 to July 2, 2004, the 11th International Symposium on Water-Rock Interaction (WRI-11) will be held in Saratoga Springs, NY, USA. The meeting, sponsored by the Working Group on Water-Rock Interaction of the International Association of Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, represents one of the best opportunities for students in the fields of aqueous geochemistry, biogeochemistry, hydrogeo-chemistry, organic aqueous geochemistry, geothermal chemistry, metamorphic fluid chemistry, sedimentary diagenesis, and environmental geochemistry to mix with an international group of scientists and engineers in similar fields. The conference brings together international scientists in a formal scientific setting but also provides an informal social program in which students and scientists mingle and learn from one another in a dynamic setting. In this regard, the meeting represents the best setting for students interested in the chemistry of water interaction with rocks to meet junior and senior scientists from around the world. The international focus allows students to learn about water problems and solutions, as well as to learn about geochemical settings from around the world. The cross-disciplinary nature of the meeting, wherein low-temperature geochemists rub shoulders with high-temperature geochemists, also fertilizes new approaches to science as high-temperature geochemists interact with environmental geochemists in a moderate sized meeting in discussing problems of mutual interest.In this proposal we request support to subsidize the cost of the meeting for students. The broader impacts of this subsidy are the following: 1) Improved understanding on the part of attending graduate students of the current field of water-rock interaction; 2) An opportunity for graduate students to make strong connections to international colleagues from around the world at an early point in their careers; 3) An opportunity for graduate students to present their work in oral or poster format to a collection of 500 or so of the top scientists in their field; and 4) An opportunity for graduate students to participate in field trips around the Adirondacks and the Saratoga Springs area, led by local experts
