2007 Gordon Research Conference on Biogenic Hydrocarbons and the Atmosphere; Ventura, CA; February 25-March 2, 2007

该奖项将支持一个名为“生物碳氢化合物与大气”的专业会议，该会议将于早春在加州文图拉举行。会议将在戈登研究会议的主持下召开。会议的重点将是生物碳氢化合物和大气，并将特别针对植物中碳氢化合物生物合成的新发现、碳氢化合物的生态作用以及碳氢化合物对大气过程的影响范围进行讨论。该项目的更广泛影响包括增进我们对生物碳氢化合物对大气成分、辐射转移和气候的影响的理解。此外，该研讨会将汇集成熟的研究人员和早期职业科学家，在一个重点突出和富有成效的论坛上提供宝贵的专业互动机会。该奖项将为大约16名青年科学家提供旅费和/或会议费用。为了支持会议的主题，几次会议将邀请青年科学家作口头和海报发言。

This award supports a specialty conference entitled "Biogenic Hydrocarbons & the Atmosphere" to be held in the early spring, in Ventura, California. The conference will be convened under the auspices of the Gordon Research Conferences. The focus will be on biogenic hydrocarbons and the atmosphere and will specifically target discussion of emerging findings on hydrocarbon biosynthesis in plants, the ecological role of hydrocarbons, and the range of hydrocarbon impacts on atmospheric processes. The broader impacts of this project include advancing our understanding of the influences of biogenic hydrocarbons on atmospheric composition, radiative transfer and climate. 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. The award will assist with covering the costs of travel and/or conference fees for approximately 16 junior scientists. In support of the Conference theme, several conference sessions will include junior scientists as oral and poster presenters.
