AGU Chapman Conference on Synthesizing Empirical Results to Improve Predictions of Post-wildfire Runoff and Erosion Responses

该奖项将为2013年8月在科罗拉多埃斯蒂斯公园举行的关于野火后径流和侵蚀的AGU查普曼会议提供部分支持。 会议将汇集一个多学科的研究人员，学生通过高级科学家，在野火后和侵蚀反应以及火灾行为，中尺度气象学，土壤科学，水文学，地貌学和建模工作。 会议将举行五次会议：野火后应对领域;降水;渗透;径流;土壤和沉积物侵蚀和运输。 会议的成果包括一份关于野火后社区面临的当前优先研究问题的会前审查文件;一份邀请和提交论文的AGU专著;以及关于每个主题会议优先研究问题的拟议解决方案的期刊出版物。 会议将有学生和早期职业研究人员的强烈参与。

This award will provide partial support for an AGU Chapman Conference on post-wildfire runoff and erosion to be held in Estes Park, Colorado in August, 2013. The conference will bring together a multidisciplinary group of researchers, students through senior scientists, working in post-wildfire and erosion response as well as fire-behavior, meso-scale meteorology, soil science, hydrology, geomorphology, and modeling. The conference will have five sessions: post-wildfire response domains; precipitation; infiltration; runoff; soil and sediment erosion and transport. Outcomes from the conference include a pre-conference review paper of current priority research issues facing the post-wildfire community; an AGU monograph of invited and submitted papers; and journal publications on proposed solutions for priority research issues of each topic session. The conference will have strong participation from students and early career researchers.
