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.

对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，这些不同的过程发生在景观上的手段还没有得到很好的记录。 该奖项支持第47届年度宾厄姆顿地貌研讨会，题为“连通性地貌。“专题讨论会将汇集一批强大而多样化的顶尖专家和新兴科学家，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连接的，例如河流，山坡和景观，并要求贡献者讨论连通性对研究临界区的重要性，地球上大多数生命存在的区域。研讨会的更广泛的影响包括促进和加强未来科学专业人员的教育，促进学科内的多样性，以及讨论与社会有关的主题，如山体滑坡和河流恢复。 这次研讨会将有许多学生参加，他们的教育将相应地得到提高。 第47届宾厄姆顿地貌学研讨会题为“地貌学中的连通性”，将汇集一批强大而多样化的领先专家和新兴科学家，他们积极参与关键区域内的连通性。选择了六个主题来代表研究连通性的不同方法。已要求受邀发言者协调其发言和论文，以便专题讨论会和论文集能够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包括：沉积物、水文、地球化学、河流、景观和连通性建模。研讨会为科学家提供了一个重要的论坛，以向国际社会展示、交流和传播地貌研究的方法、技术和成果。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，与广泛的科学家积极进行讨论，这些科学家不一定是由一个研究重点联系在一起，而是由一个概念框架联系在一起，这个框架强调了临界区不同组成部分之间连通性的重要性。所有受邀的口头和海报介绍将发表在国际公认的杂志《地貌学》上，该杂志确保了技术向全球社会的有效转让。
