AbstractProposal Number: OISE-0929852Principal Investigator: Zafra LermanInstitution: Columbia CollegeTitle: Workshop on Sustainable Air and Water Quality in the Middle EastThe PIs will conduct a workshop on Sustainable Air and Water Quality in the Middle East. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the fourth conference ?Frontiers of Chemical Science IV: Research and Education in the Middle East ? A bridge to Peace and International Development,? that is planned to be held in Amman, Jordan on November 14-19, 2009. Scientists from developing and developed nations will discuss and define the issues critical to urban and regional air and water quality in the Middle East. They will develop new approaches to ensure sustainable levels of potable water for the region. In the Middle East, regional action requires cooperation across multiple national boundaries and collaboration among peoples currently divided by a range of ethnic, religious, political, and economic differences. Scientists from a range of Middle Eastern nations, aided by knowledgeable and experienced scientists from developed nations, will meet to define the environmental challenges facing the region, develop monitoring strategies to characterize and track pollution levels and allow sustainable economic growth coupled with improved environmental quality. In terms of the broader impacts, the ultimate goal of the workshop is to stimulate the needed multinational collaborative energy and spirit to solve important regional problems and to develop collaborative research proposals for international funding agencies and regional governments. US scientists involved in this effort will advance their professionalism through international experience and exposure beyond the nation's borders. Their effort will help solve regional, if not global, air and water quality problems and promote collaborations in a region vital to US national interests. This workshop is co-funded by the Atmospheric Chemistry program in the Geosciences Directorate, by the Analytical and Surface Chemistry program in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate, and by the Environmental Remediation program in the Engineering Directorate.

摘要提案编号：OISE-0929852首席研究员：Zafra Lerman机构：哥伦比亚学院标题：中东可持续空气和水质量研讨会PI将举办一个关于中东可持续空气和水质量的研讨会。 讲习班将与第四次会议同时举行？化学科学前沿4：中东的研究与教育？通往和平与国际发展的桥梁，会议计划于2009年11月14日至19日在约旦的安曼举行。 来自发展中国家和发达国家的科学家将讨论和确定中东城市和区域空气和水质量的关键问题。 他们将制定新的方法，以确保该地区可持续的饮用水水平。 在中东，区域行动需要跨越多个国家边界的合作，以及目前因一系列种族、宗教、政治和经济差异而分裂的人民之间的合作。 来自一系列中东国家的科学家，在发达国家知识渊博、经验丰富的科学家的协助下，将开会确定该地区面临的环境挑战，制定监测战略，以确定和跟踪污染水平，并使可持续经济增长与改善环境质量相结合。 就更广泛的影响而言，讲习班的最终目标是激发所需的多国合作能量和精神，以解决重要的区域问题，并为国际资助机构和区域政府制定合作研究建议。 参与这项工作的美国科学家将通过国际经验和超越国界的接触来提高他们的专业水平。 他们的努力将有助于解决区域性（如果不是全球性的话）空气和水质量问题，并促进在一个对美国国家利益至关重要的地区的合作。 该研讨会由地球科学理事会的大气化学计划，数学和物理科学理事会的分析和表面化学计划以及工程理事会的环境修复计划共同资助。
