Research Workshop in the Poyang Lake Region, China on Environmental Science, Engineering and Sustainable Development

[0943658史密斯]这笔拨款用于部分支持美中“中国鄱阳湖地区环境科学、工程与可持续发展研究研讨会”。这些资金将主要用于支持应邀参加研讨会的美国科学家的旅费和住宿费。该研讨会暂定于2009年11月1日至7日在中国南昌普通大学举行。在中国，许多地区（如江西省省会南昌）的快速城市发展给鄱阳湖等水和生态系统带来了沉重的压力，鄱阳湖是中国最大的淡水湖，也是世界上重要的生态系统。目前，与太湖等中国主要湖泊相比，鄱阳湖相对清洁，但受到侵蚀、污染（如重金属）和富营养化的威胁。随着中国经济的快速增长，工业和其他城市发展的压力非常大。得到支持的美国与会者将与中国同行会面，就鄱阳湖地区潜在和可能的发展交流专业知识和经验。研讨会主题包括：水和流域污染控制-策略和技术，生态系统保护和恢复，水源保护，富营养化控制-经验和新策略，水污染控制-经济方面。这是国际合作研究项目的明确目标。这项拨款由OISE和ENG共同资助。

The funds will be used primarily to support the travel and lodging of invited U.S. scientists to participate in the workshop, to be held in China, tentatively Nov. 1-7, 2009 at Nanchang Common University. In China, rapid urban growth in many areas (such as Nanchang, the capital city of Jiangxi Province) has put heavy strain on the water and ecological systems such as Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China and an important ecosystem in the world. At the present time, Poyang Lake is still relatively clean compared to some other major lakes in China, such as Lake Tai, but it is being threatened by erosion, pollution (such as heavy metals), and eutrophication. With China's rapid economic growth, the pressure for industrial and other urban development is very intense. The supported U.S. participants in the workshop will meet with Chinese colleagues to exchange expertise and experience with regard to potential and probable development of the Poyang Lake region. Workshop topics include: water and watershed pollution control-strategy and techniques, ecosystem protection and restoration, source water protection, eutrophication control-experiences and new strategies, and water pollution control-economic aspects. It is an explicit goal for international collaborative research projects to evolve from this workshop. This grant is supported jointly by OISE and ENG.
