International Workshop on Agriculture Impacts of Air Quality; Washington, District of Columbia; During 2006

该奖项支持2006年在华盛顿，华盛顿特区地区举办的为期3天的专业"空气质量对农业影响国际研讨会"。 该研讨会由美国农业部联合主办，将向广大社区开放，并将涵盖有关农业在地球系统科学中的作用的广泛主题。 开放讨论的主题将包括：农业做法的环境影响;农业排放到大气中的痕量气体;农业中自然和人为物种的生物地球化学处理;以及与每一种做法相关的气候影响。 该项目更广泛的科学影响包括促进我们对农业实践和排放对农村和区域空气质量影响的理解。 将提交一份详细介绍研讨会会议记录和研究结果的综合和整合文件，供科学期刊出版，并提供给监管界，以协助作出政策决定。 此外，研讨会将汇集知名研究人员和早期职业科学家，为在重点突出和富有成效的论坛中进行专业互动提供宝贵的机会。 该奖项下的旅行支持将促进来自美国机构的一些早期职业科学家的出席，特别强调吸引少数民族和其他代表性不足的群体的申请。

This award supports a specialty "International Workshop on the Agricultural Impacts of Air Quality," a 3-day symposium to be held in the Washington, D.C. area during 2006. The workshop is jointly sponsored by the US Department of Agriculture, will be open to the community at large, and will cover a broad range of topics concerning the role of agriculture in Earth system science. Topics open for discussion will include: environmental impacts of agricultural practices; agriculturally emitted trace gases to the atmosphere; biogeochemical processing of natural and anthropogenic species in agriculture; and climate effects associated with each of these. The broader scientific impacts of this project include advancing our understanding of the influences of agricultural practices and emissions on rural and regional air quality. A synthesis and integration document detailing workshop proceedings and findings will be submitted for science journal publication and also made available to the regulatory community to assist with policy decisions. In addition, the workshop will bring together established researchers and early career scientists, providing invaluable opportunities for professional interactions in a focused and productive forum. Travel support under this award will facilitate attendance by a number of early career scientists from U.S. institutions, with particular emphasis placed on attracting applications from minorities and other underrepresented groups.
