This grant provides partial travel support for students and early-career scientists attending the Third Symposium on Shallow Flows, a joint meeting of scientists and engineers to be held 4-6 June 2012 at the University of Iowa. This meeting, which is co-sponsored by the International Association of Hydraulic Research, will facilitate exchange of the latest findings and approaches relevant to diverse phenomena including stable atmospheric and oceanic boundary layers, river- and hurricane-induced floods, flow through riparian-zone vegetation and associated hydrological processes, and transport of contaminants by these flows.The Intellectual Merit of this activity derives from exchange of information focused on the improvement of experimental and eddy-resolving numerical techniques necessary to investigate large-scale quasi two-dimensional coherent structures and their role in the transport of mass, heat and contaminants in the geophysical environment. Broader Impacts will occur through improved assessment and forecasting of near-surface meteorological, hydrological and ecological processes and associated socio-economic impacts (such as those from flooding), and by furthering the educational development and diverse representation among students and early-career researchers.

该补助金为参加第三届浅流研讨会的学生和早期职业科学家提供部分旅费支持，该研讨会是2012年6月4日至6日在爱荷华州大学举行的科学家和工程师联席会议。 这次会议由国际水利研究协会共同主办，将促进交流与不同现象相关的最新发现和方法，包括稳定的大气和海洋边界层、河流和飓风引发的洪水、流经河岸带的水流植被和相关的水文过程，这项活动的知识价值来自于信息交流，重点是改善实验和涡流，解决调查大规模准二维相干结构及其在地球物理环境中质量，热量和污染物传输中的作用所需的数值技术。 更广泛的影响将通过改善近地表气象，水文和生态过程以及相关社会经济影响（如洪水）的评估和预测，以及通过促进学生和早期职业研究人员的教育发展和多样化代表性来实现。
