Catchments are fundamental landscape units that contain interpretable physical, chemical andbiological signals in their soils, drainage waters and ecosystems and record the effects ofclimate warming, atmospheric deposition, land use shifts, catastrophic events and other globalchange drivers. Catchment Science, the focus of the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) andGordon Research Seminar (GRS) for which we seek financial support, is a truly interdisciplinaryand international endeavor conducted by hydrologists, ecologists and biogeochemists whosegoal is to explore and understand catchment response signals in order to better anticipate futurechallenges facing water and ecosystem managers. The purpose of this conference is to bringtogether established and developing experts in the field of Catchment Science to share theresults of cutting-edge research, develop new collaborations, and assess where we are andwhere we need to go in order to understand the future of catchments in an era of global change.Intelletual Merit. The theme of this GRC/GRS is "Catchments Through the Looking Glass:From Microscopes to Telescopes". There is compelling evidence that global change is affectingthe physical, chemical, and biological resources of catchments in many parts of the world, andCatchment Science is increasingly at the forefront of driving our understanding of the manyimplications of global change. As catchment scientists, we each have our own uniqueperspectives and vantage points from which we view our scientific approach and interpret ourdata. This GRC/GRS will bring together leading experts in the field who will explain how theirparticular vision and research environment have shaped the direction of their cutting-edgeresearch and how their approaches can be useful and applicable to other scientists and endusersworking in the field. The GRC/GRS will focus on four sub-themes that span a broad rangeof Catchment Science perspectives: 1) "Changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes", where wewill assess the similarities and differences of conducting catchment science in polar, boreal,temperate, arid and tropical settings as well as the societal implication and application; "Doorsof perception", which will consider how the scale of our scientific lens, from microscopic totelescopic and with different levels of stakeholder involvement, shapes our understanding ofcatchments; "Animal, vegetable, mineral", where we will explore the inextricable linkagesbetween biota and the Earth's surface that help to determine catchment function andsustainability, particularly under climate change concerns; and "Tools you can use", which willshowcase novel analytical techniques and conceptual approaches that have revolutionized thefield. The GRC provides the ideal format for promoting better communication and understandingof the various research approaches comprising Catchment Science, allowing a more focusedattack on identified issues and improved international collaboration in the future.Broader Impacts. Our ability to successfully conduct Catchment Science in the future inresponse to global change rests largely in our ability to nurture the next generation of catchmentscientists. This GRC will be immediately preceded by our second two-day Gordon ResearchSeminar (GRS), the participants of which will be mainly graduate students and recent advanceddegree recipients from the various fields of Catchment Science, as well as senior scientists whowill serve as mentors and discussion leaders. We expect all GRS participants will attend theGRC conference the following week, with the result of greatly increased participation of youngscientists in the Catchment Sciences GRC series. We anticipate that the GRS is likely toincrease the ethnic diversity of the GRC, attesting to the continually changing demographics inCatchment Science. In addition, our invited speakers and discussion leaders are nearly halffemale, reflecting our efforts to promote gender diversity in our program. The products of theseefforts include increased communication among all levels and fields of catchment scientists, aswell as the dispersal of new ideas throughout the broader scientific community.

集水区是基本的景观单元，其土壤、排水沃茨和生态系统中包含可解释的物理、化学和生物信号，并记录了气候变暖、大气沉降、土地利用变化、灾难性事件和其他全球变化驱动因素的影响。集水科学，戈登研究会议（GRC）和戈登研究研讨会（GRS）的重点，我们寻求财政支持，是一个真正的跨学科和国际性的奋进，由水文学家，生态学家和地球化学家进行，其目标是探索和了解集水响应信号，以更好地预测未来面临的水和生态系统管理者的挑战。本次会议的目的是汇集集水科学领域的成熟和发展中的专家，分享前沿研究的成果，发展新的合作，并评估我们在哪里，我们需要去哪里，以了解在全球变化的时代集水的未来。本届GRC/GRS的主题是“透过镜子的流域：从显微镜到望远镜”。有令人信服的证据表明，全球变化正在影响世界许多地区集水区的物理，化学和生物资源，集水区科学越来越多地处于推动我们理解全球变化的许多影响的最前沿。作为流域科学家，我们每个人都有自己独特的视角和Vantage位置，我们可以从这些角度看待我们的科学方法并解释我们的数据。该GRC/GRS将汇集该领域的领先专家，他们将解释他们的特定愿景和研究环境如何塑造他们的前沿研究方向，以及他们的方法如何对该领域的其他科学家和最终用户有用和适用。GRC/GRS将重点关注四个子主题，涵盖广泛的流域科学观点：1）“纬度的变化，态度的变化”，我们将评估在极地，北方，温带，干旱和热带环境中开展流域科学的相似性和差异以及社会影响和应用;“感知之门”，将考虑我们的科学透镜的尺度，从微观到望远镜，以及不同程度的利益攸关方的参与，如何塑造我们对集水区的理解;“动物、蔬菜、矿物”，我们将探索生物群和地球表面之间不可分割的联系，这些联系有助于确定集水功能和可持续性，特别是在气候变化问题下;“你可以使用的工具”，将展示革新该领域的新颖分析技术和概念方法。集水资源研究中心提供了一个理想的形式，以促进更好地沟通和理解包括集水科学在内的各种研究方法，使人们能够更专注于已确定的问题，并在未来改善国际合作。我们在未来成功开展流域科学以应对全球变化的能力主要取决于我们培养下一代流域科学家的能力。这个GRC将立即之前，我们的第二个为期两天的戈登ResearchSeminar（GRS），其中的参与者将主要是研究生和最近从集水科学的各个领域的advanceddegree收件人，以及资深科学家whowill担任导师和讨论的领导者。我们预计所有GRS参与者将参加下周的GRC会议，结果是大大增加了参与集水科学GRC系列的科学家。我们预计，GRS很可能会增加GRC的种族多样性，证明了集水科学不断变化的人口统计数据。此外，我们邀请的演讲者和讨论领导人几乎halffemale，反映了我们的努力，以促进性别多样性在我们的计划。这些努力的成果包括各级和各领域的流域科学家之间加强了沟通，以及在更广泛的科学界传播了新的想法。
