U.S. Science International Collaborations and Contributions to EcoSummit 2016 "Sustainability: Engineering Change"

1619948（米奇）。这是一项补助金，用于资助美国科学家和工程师参加 2016 年 8 月 29 日至 9 月 2 日在法国蒙彼利埃举行的 2016 年生态峰会（其中大多数是职业生涯早期）。目标是： 1. 支持这些科学家和工程师参加两场特定的仅限邀请的特别会议： 2. 在国际期刊上开发至少两期与生态峰会主题相关的特刊2016：可持续性和工程变革； 3. 吸引年轻的美国环境科学家和工程师参加关于景观可持续性和气候变化的生态工程的国际对话。超过一半的受资助参与者将是女性，其中六名受资助参与者将来自 EPSCoR 州。美国科学家和工程师参与本次活动将促进他们在可持续发展、生态工程、景观管理和气候变化方面的研究项目。参加 2012 年美国哥伦布生态峰会的美国人士讲述了这些生态峰会提供的难以置信的机会以及他们为加强研究而建立的国际联系。美国在生态工程、流域管理以及减缓和适应气候变化方面的科学研究将得到特别加强。

1619948 (Mitsch). This is a grant in assistance for international travel for U.S. scientists and engineers, the preponderance of them being early career, to participate in the EcoSummit 2016 in Montpellier France on August 29-September 2, 2016. The goals are: 1. To support the participation of these scientists and engineers in two specific invitation-only special sessions: 2. To develop at least two special issues in international journal(s) related to the theme of EcoSummit 2016: Sustainability and engineering change; and 3. To attract young U.S. environmental scientists and engineers to an international dialogue on ecological engineering for landscape sustainability and climate variability. More than half of the funded participants will be female and six of the funded participants will be from EPSCoR states. Participation by USA scientists and engineers in this event will provide a stimulus to their research programs on sustainability, ecological engineering, landscape management, and climate variability. Those from the USA who attended EcoSummit 2012 in Columbus US have related the incredible opportunity that these ecosummits provide and the international connections that they made for enhancing their research. U.S. scientific research in ecological engineering, watershed management, and mitigating and adapting to climate variability will be especially enhanced.
