Student Travel Scholarships for the SES-IV Conference, December 11-13, 2008, San Francisco, California

第四届同步加速器环境科学会议（SES-IV）将重点关注地球生物学，低温地球化学，地球科学能源，环境健康和修复研究方面的前沿科学挑战，其中同步加速器（SR）科学将是关键。会议还将重点介绍美国的新方法和设施发展。会议将于2008年12月11日至13日在旧金山弗朗西斯科举行，加州。SES的一个重要目标-IV是参与和培训研究生和博士后研究员有兴趣在他们的研究计划中使用同步加速器技术，并为他们提供与领先的科学人物互动的机会，外地一整天的会议？议程的一半-将专门用于为这些听众举办实践培训班和介绍性会谈。这笔赠款将鼓励这一重要群体的参与，为研究生和博士后参与者提供旅行奖学金。此外，通过为杰出的科学家，同步加速器设施工作人员和学生提供一个互动和交流信息的论坛，SES-IV将促进碳中性能源，自然资源保护和清洁，环境健康和CO2封存的研究发现。

The fourth conference on Synchrotron Environmental Science (SES-IV) will focus attention on frontier scientific challenges in geobiology, low-temperature geochemistry, geosciences energy, and environmental health and remediation research for which synchrotron (SR)-based science will be pivotal. The conference will also highlight new methods and facility developments in the U.S. The conference will be held during December 11-13, 2008, in San Francisco, California.A crucial objective of SES-IV is to involve and train graduate students and post doctoral fellows interested in using synchrotron techniques in their research programs and to provide them with the opportunity to interact with leading scientific figures in the field. An entire day of the conference ? half of the agenda - will be dedicated to hands-on training sessions and introductory-level talks for this audience. This grant will encourage participation by this important group by providing travel scholarships for graduate student and post doctoral participants. Further, by providing a forum for pre-eminent scientists, synchrotron facility staff, and students, to interact and exchange information, SES-IV will catalyze research discoveries in carbon-neutral energy sources, preservation and clean-up of natural resources, environmental health, and CO2 sequestration.
