2008 Corrosion-Aqueous GRC:New London, NH; July 20-25, 2008

技术：腐蚀是一个跨学科领域，它汇集了界面物理和化学的基本方面，原子和统计建模的进步以及广泛的尖端表征技术，并将其应用于重大社会影响的问题。2008年戈登水溶液腐蚀研究会议定于2008年7月20日至25日在美国新罕布什尔州新伦敦的科尔比-索耶学院举行。会议上的演讲将涵盖广泛的与腐蚀相关的主题，但它们都属于会议主题：？水腐蚀：机制、方法和模型？会议的主题和个别主题领域已经选定，以突出基础科学，支撑腐蚀问题的实际解决方案。主题的初步列表如下：纳米尺度的模型和机制；高时空分辨率表征方法；腐蚀结构的长期寿命预测。届时将有来自学术界、国家实验室和工业界的演讲者。非技术：演讲者和讨论领导人的人口和性别多样化组合将反映在腐蚀领域工作的全球社区以及代表性不足的少数民族或妇女。会议将促进教育和学术研究的追求在这一技术上重要的领域。所有与会者，特别是学生，将被鼓励提交海报。为了加强下一代研究人员在该领域的参与，2008年戈登会议之前将立即举行一个？戈登-凯南研究生研究研讨会？这是一个为期两天的会议，由年轻的研究人员举办，并为他们服务，与主要会议类似，将在主要会议开始前的周六和周日举行。戈登-凯南研究生研究研讨会将为下一代腐蚀科学家提供一个理想的机会，以发展他们在该领域的想法和信心，促进与国际团体的联系，这将增强他们未来的职业生涯。因此，更广泛的影响包括学生的发展和促进世界各地科学家之间的国际交流和善意。将尽一切努力使妇女和少数民族参与这一进程。组织者将做出协调一致的努力，使妇女、种族/少数民族、残疾人和其他传统上在科学领域代表性不足的个人得到适当的代表。在评估同等优秀的申请人时，来自代表性不足群体的申请人将被优先考虑。在http://www.eng.bham.ac.uk/metallurgy/grc2008/home.htm上建立了一个网站来宣传这次会议，并与腐蚀社区进行交流。

TECHNICAL: Corrosion is an interdisciplinary field that draws together fundamental aspects of the physics and chemistry of interfaces, advances in atomistic and statistical modeling and a broad range of cutting-edge characterization techniques, and applies them to issues of major societal impact. The 2008 Gordon Research Conference on Aqueous Corrosion is scheduled to be held July 20-25, 2008, at Colby-Sawyer College in New London, New Hampshire, USA. Presentations at the conference will cover a wide range of corrosion-related topics, but they will all fall under the conference theme: ?Aqueous Corrosion: Mechanisms, Methods and Models?. The theme of the conference and the individual subject areas have been selected to highlight the fundamental science that underpins practical solutions to corrosion problems. The preliminary list of topics is the following: Models and mechanisms at the nanoscale; High spatial and temporal resolution characterization methods; Long-term life prediction of corroding structures. There will be speakers from academia, national labs, and industry. NON-TECHNICAL: The demographic and gender diverse mix of speakers and discussion leaders will reflect the worldwide community of people working in the field of corrosion as well as under-represented minorities or women. The conference will promote education and the scholarly pursuit of research in this technologically significant field. All attendees and students in particular, will be encouraged to present posters. In order to enhance the participation of the next generation of researchers in the field, the 2008 Gordon Conference will be immediately preceded by a ?Gordon-Kenan Graduate Research Seminar?, a two-day meeting run by and for young researchers along similar lines to the main conference, which will run on the Saturday and Sunday immediately prior to the start of the main conference. The Gordon-Kenan Graduate Research Seminar will provide an ideal opportunity for the next generation of corrosion scientists to develop their ideas and confidence in the field, fostering links with groups internationally that will enhance their future careers. The broader impacts, therefore, include student development and fostering of international exchange and good will amongst scientists world-wide. Every attempt will be made to engage women and minorities in this process. Organizers will make a concerted effort to achieve an appropriate representation of women, racial/ethnic minorities and persons with disabilities, and other individuals who have been traditionally under-represented in science. When evaluating applicants of equal merit, applicants from under-represented groups will be given preference. A web site has been set up at http://www.eng.bham.ac.uk/metallurgy/grc2008/home.htm to advertise the conference and to communicate with the corrosion community.
