Funds from this award to the University of Rhode Island will provide partial funding for the Fourth International Radium and Radon Workshop, the latest in an ongoing international workshop series devoted to developments and new directions in the application and measurement of radium (Ra) isotopes and radon (Rn) as tracers in the environment. The accurate measurement and modeling of radium and radon isotopes is important because they have become increasingly important tools for determining fluxes of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) into the ocean, rates of mixing of coastal waters, residence times of water in estuaries, and interactions between surface water and groundwater. The workshop will provide an important forum for a growing community of scientists to discuss the benefits and challenges associated with the measurement of radium-223 , radium-224, radium-226, radium-228, radon-220, and radon-222 , as well as models used to apply the results to environmental problems. Prior Ra-Rn workshops held in Monaco, Venice, and Jerusalem (listed below) have identified a number of issues related to the application and accurate measurement of Ra and Rn in aquatic systems. These and other issues would greatly benefit from discussions with the broader scientific community, as proposed for this workshop. Broader Impacts: The workshop would provide a timely and valuable opportunity to continue to develop discussions on the application of Ra and Rn tracers, provide scientific and programmatic updates, and foster international collaboration. At the time of the proposal submission, 54 participants from 15 countries had registered for the workshop. Proposed mechanisms to disseminate the meeting results include a short synopsis article in EOS, AGU/ASLO special session(s), and a special issue of peer-review publications to be published in a collegially agreed-upon top scientific journal. Dissemination of the meeting results in these ways would inform the broader scientific community, including students and early career scientists, of the latest developments.

从该奖项到罗德岛大学的资金将为第四届国际雷克斯和ra仪车间提供部分资金，这是一个正在进行的国际研讨会系列中的最新资金，该系列介绍了在环境中的痕迹中，专门针对镭同位素和radon（RA）同位素（RA）同位素（RA）同位素和radon（RN）的新方向。 辐射和ra同位素的准确测量和建模很重要，因为它们已成为越来越重要的工具，用于确定海洋海底地下水排放（SGD）的通量，沿海水域混合的速度，河口居住时间的混合速率以及地表水和地下水之间的相互作用。该研讨会将为不断越来越多的科学家社区提供一个重要的论坛，以讨论与radium-223，Radium-224，Radium-226，Radium-228，Radon-228，Radon-220和Radon-222和Radon-222的测量相关的好处和挑战，以及用于将结果应用于环境问题的模型。 在摩纳哥，威尼斯和耶路撒冷举行的先前的RA-RN研讨会（下面列出）已经确定了与水生系统中RA和RN的应用和准确测量有关的许多问题。正如该研讨会提出的那样，与更广泛的科学界的讨论将大大受益。更广泛的影响：研讨会将提供及时，有价值的机会，以继续开展有关RA和RN示踪剂应用，提供科学和程序化更新的讨论，并促进国际合作。提案提交时，来自15个国家的54名参与者已注册了该研讨会。提出的传播会议结果的机制包括EOS，AGU/ASLO特别会议上的简短概述文章，以及将发表在同意的高级科学杂志上的Peer-Resiview Publications的特刊。以这些方式传播会议将为更广泛的科学界（包括学生和早期职业科学家）提供最新发展。
