Connectivity in Geomorphology: The 47th Annual Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium

对该项目的非技术性描述，解释其意义和重要性。连通性的概念--物质、能量和生物体本身如何在地球表面系统的不同部分之间转移--是地貌学领域的一个新兴课题。然而，这些不同的过程在地貌上发生的方式还没有得到很好的记录。该奖项支持第47届宾厄姆顿地貌学研讨会，题为“地貌学中的连通性”。这次研讨会将汇聚一批强大和多样化的主要专家和新兴科学家，他们积极参与对地球表面过程的各种研究。选择了六个主题来探索地球的不同方面是如何联系在一起的，如河流、山坡和景观，并要求投稿人讨论连通性对研究关键地带的重要性，关键地带是地球上大多数生命存在的区域。研讨会的更广泛影响包括促进和加强对未来科学专业人员的教育，促进该学科的多样性，以及讨论与社会相关的专题，如山体滑坡和河流修复。研讨会将有许多学生参加，他们的教育将得到相应的提高。项目的技术说明第47届宾厄姆顿地貌学研讨会，题为“地貌学中的连通性”，将汇聚一批强大和多样化的领先专家和新兴科学家，他们积极参与关键地带内的连通性研究。选择了六个主题来代表研究互联互通的不同方法。被邀请的演讲者被要求协调他们的发言和论文，以便专题讨论会和论文集将全面概述自然科学家目前对连通性的理解。会议期间将强调的连通性主题有：沉积物；水文学；地球化学；河流；景观；以及连通性的建模。研讨会为科学家向全球介绍、交流和传播地貌研究的方法、技术和成果提供了一个重要的论坛。由于其规模和重点，专题讨论会提供了一个无与伦比的机会，可以积极参与与广泛的科学家的讨论，不一定是通过一个研究重点，而是通过一个概念框架，该框架强调关键区域不同组成部分之间连接的重要性。所有受邀的口头和海报演示将发表在国际公认的期刊《地貌学》上，该期刊确保向全球社会有效地转让技术。

Nontechnical description of the project that explains the significance and importance.The concept of connectivity - how matter, energy, and organisms themselves are transferred among different parts of the Earth-surface system- is an emerging topic in the field of geomorphology. Yet the means by which these different processes occur over the landscape has not been well documented. This award supports the 47th annual Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium, entitled "Connectivity in Geomorphology." The symposium will bring together a strong and diverse group of leading experts and emerging scientists actively engaged in a variety of research into processes at the Earth's surface. Six themes have been selected to explore how different aspects of the Earth are connected, such as rivers, hillslopes, and landscapes, and the contributors have been asked to discuss the importance of connectivity to the study of the critical zone, the area where most life on Earth exists. The broader implications of the symposium include the promotion and enhancement of the education of future science professionals, the fostering of diversity within the discipline, and the discussion of topics having relevance to society, such as landslides and river restoration. The symposium will involve the participation of numerous students whose education will be correspondingly advanced. Technical description of the projectThe 47th annual Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium, entitled "Connectivity in Geomorphology" will bring together a strong and diverse group of leading experts and emerging scientists actively engaged in connectivity within the critical zone. Six themes have been selected to represent different approaches to studying connectivity. The invited presenters have been asked to coordinate their presentations and papers so that the symposium and collection of papers will provide a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of connectivity by natural scientists. Connectivity themes to be emphasized during the meeting are: sediment; hydrologic; geochemical; riverine; landscape; and modeling of connectivity.The symposium provides a prominent forum for scientists to present, exchange, and disseminate methods, techniques, and results from geomorphic research to the global community. Because of its size and focus, the symposium offers an unrivalled opportunity to engage actively in discussion with a broad range of scientists linked not necessarily by a research focus but by a conceptual framework that emphasizes the importance of connectivity among different components of the critical zone. All invited oral and poster presentations will be published in the internationally-recognized journal Geomorphology, which ensures the effective transfer of technology to the global community.
