Workshop on Changes in Surface and Ground Water in the Tarim River Basin, Urumqi, Xinjiang

爱达荷州大学的Vladimr Aizen博士和兰州寒区旱区环境工程研究所的丁永健博士提出了一个美国-中国塔里木河流域地表水和地下水变化研讨会。 研讨会将于2009年9月在中国新疆乌鲁木齐举行。 这次研讨会的主题对NSF很重要，会议将包括10名处于职业生涯早期阶段的美国科学家。 这是地球仪的一个极端气候敏感区，是世界吗？中国最大和人口最稠密的干旱地区，封闭的流域，盆地。 这次研讨会是适时的，可以导致在解决该流域的一些紧迫的用水问题的合作。 该讲习班的目标是制定一个以科学为目标的综合研究议程，以支持参与国努力解决该区域重要的水资源管理问题。 本次研讨会将由中国国家自然科学基金委员会和美国国家科学基金委员会共同资助。

Dr. Vladimr Aizen of the University of Idaho and Dr. Ding Yongjian of the Lanzhou Cold and Arid Regions Environmental Engineering Research Institute proposed a U.S.-China Workshop on changes in surface and ground water in the Tarim River Basin. This workshop will be held in September, 2009 in Urumqi, Xinjiang Province, China. The topic for this workshop is important for NSF and the conference will include 10 U.S. scientists at an early stage in their careers. This is an extreme climate sensitive area of the globe and is the world?s largest and most densely populated arid-region, closed-drainage, basin. This workshop is opportune and can lead to the cooperation in addressing some of the pressing water use issues in this basin. The goal of this workshop is to produce an integrated research agenda targeted on science that will support the efforts of the participating countries to address the important water resources management issues of this region. This workshop will be supported jointly by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the U.S. National Science Foundation.
