Workshop proposal: Supporting U.S. Student Involvement in a SoilTrEC Training Event: Land-use practices and sustainable use of soil

这是一个支持研究生和博士后参加围绕可持续性概念组织的两个重要国际活动的请求：1)2013年5月26日至29日在冰岛雷克雅未克举行的题为“气候，粮食安全和生态系统服务的土壤碳封存”的国际会议（http://scs2013.land.is/）；2)欧洲流域土壤转化（SoilTrEC）项目：土地利用实践和土壤可持续利用的关键区域科学培训研讨会，2013年5月30日至6月2日，同样在冰岛举行。这些活动是建立人际关系网的绝佳机会。此外，这十位早期职业科学家将组成一个由年轻的美国关键区域科学家组成的核心小组，这些科学家将在他们不断发展的职业生涯中开始考虑可持续性问题。

This is a request to support participation by graduate students and post-docs in two important international events organized around the concept of sustainability: 1) the international conference entitled Soil Carbon Sequestration for Climate, Food Security and Ecosystem Services (http://scs2013.land.is/) in Reykjavik, Iceland from May 26-29, 2013; and, 2) a Critical Zone science training workshop of the Soil Transformations in European Catchments (SoilTrEC) project: Land-use practices and sustainable use of soil, May 30-June 2, 2013, also in Iceland.The events are excellent opportunities for networking. In addition, these ten early-career scientists will form a core group of young U.S. Critical Zone scientists who will begin to consider sustainability issues throughout their evolving careers.
