NSF/AGU CHAPMAN CONFERENCE PROPOSAL: SOIL-MEDIATED DRIVERS OF COUPLED BIOGEOCHEMICAL AND HYDROLOGICAL PROCESSES ACROSS SCALES

这是一项支持查普曼会议的请求，该会议将于2013年10月21日至24日在亚利桑那州甲骨文生物圈2号（亚利桑那大学）举行，主题为“土壤介导的跨尺度生物地球化学和水文过程耦合驱动因素”。这次会议将汇集来自土壤系统科学，水文学和地球化学的科学家，讨论最近的研究结果，涉及土壤系统及其与相邻隔室（如地下水，植物，会议旨在扩大社区对地球科学研究的参与，并让年轻的研究人员参与进一步的地球科学研究。制定跨学科地球科学议程。会议对所有对所提出的主题感兴趣的科学家开放。将注意吸引早期职业科学家和博士。学生在不同学科之间的接口工作的主题，并专门针对代表性不足的群体。

This is a request to support a Chapman conference on "Soil-mediated drivers of coupled biogeochemical and hydrological processes across scales," to be held at Biosphere 2, Oracle, Arizona (the University of Arizona), from October 21-24, 2013. This conference will bring together scientists from soil systems sciences, hydrology, and biogeochemistry to discuss recent findings dealing with the role and importance of coupled hydrological and biogeochemical processes occurring in the soil system and its interfaces with adjacent compartments, such as groundwater, plants, and the atmosphere.The conference is intended to broaden community involvement in Earth science research and engage young investigators in furthering the development of interdisciplinary Earth science agenda. The conference is open to all scientists interested in the proposed topics. Attention will be paid to attracting early career scientists and Ph.D. students working on topics at the interfaces between the different disciplines, and specifically target underrepresented groups.
