An AGU Chapman conference on transport in highly heterogeneous porous media, with a particular focus on the MADE site (MS, USA), will be held at the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia October5-8, 2015. Transport of contaminants and other compounds in groundwater systems remains a serious research question as well as a pressing societal problem. This meeting will convene researchers in transport in highly heterogeneous aquifers at the field scale with those interested in aquifer characterization and solute transport modeling to: 1) discuss the latest advances in subsurface characterization and modeling research, 2) define unresolved questions about aquifer characterization and modeling in highly heterogeneous aquifers, and 3) identify promising avenues for future research in these areas.Dealing with heterogeneity, particularly high multi-scale degrees of heterogeneity, in flowand transport properties is one of the grand challenges in groundwater hydrology. Experimentsand modeling on the Macrodispersion Experiment (MADE) site, have yielded significant advances.However, many questions and challenges remain regarding transport in highly heterogeneousmedia, the scale for characterization of subsurface heterogeneity, and the effectiveness ofvarious models to predict transport in such systems. There is an urgent need to gather theresearch community to synthesize the state of current knowledge, This conference will synthesize what has been learned, identify and prioritize key future challenges in this field, determine promising avenues for improved aquifer characterization and modeling efforts, and, most importantly, catalyze collaborativeand synergistic research by bringing together researchers with a diverse range of expertise to focus on common goals.

AGU Chapman 会议将于 2015 年 10 月 5 日至 8 日在巴伦西亚理工大学举行，主题是高度异质多孔介质中的传输，特别关注 MADE 站点（美国 MS）。地下水系统中污染物和其他化合物的传输仍然是一个严肃的研究问题，也是一个紧迫的社会问题。 本次会议将召集现场规模的高度非均质含水层输运研究人员以及对含水层表征和溶质输运建模感兴趣的人员：1）讨论地下表征和建模研究的最新进展，2）定义有关高度非均质含水层中含水层表征和建模的未解决问题，以及3）确定这些领域未来研究的有希望的途径。 流量和输运特性的多尺度异质性是地下水水文学面临的重大挑战之一。宏观分散实验 (MADE) 站点上的实验和建模已取得重大进展。然而，关于高度异质介质中的传输、地下异质性的表征规模以及预测此类系统中传输的各种模型的有效性，仍然存在许多问题和挑战。迫切需要聚集研究界来综合当前的知识状况。本次会议将综合所学知识，确定该领域未来的关键挑战并确定优先顺序，确定改进含水层表征和建模工作的有希望的途径，最重要的是，通过将具有不同专业知识的研究人员聚集在一起以专注于共同目标来促进协作和协同研究。
