Conference: The 49th Annual Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium; Syracuse, New York; October 2018

该奖项将有助于举办第49届宾厄姆顿地貌研讨会（BGS），这是一个来自地理，地质和其他学科的学者的年度聚会，他们专注于地球表面产生和修改地貌的动态过程。 BGS将提供一个论坛，使来自美国和其他国家的广泛大学和其他组织的学者能够共同研究知识的现状，探索新的调查和方法，并促进从历史悠久的专家到早期职业研究人员和研究生的几代学者之间的互动。 专题讨论会在三天的时间里集中讨论具体的专题，这将使人们能够比通常在大型学术聚会上更深入地审议问题，并将有助于建立和加强新的合作联系。 NSF提供的资金将主要用于促进至少25名研究生参与研讨会讨论和活动。 将特别努力让女学生参与，从而有助于在这个传统上以男性为主的领域扩大未来劳动力的多样性。 研讨会的演讲和其他产品将在网上提供，论文基于发表在“地貌学”，一个领先的学术期刊上的值得注意的演讲。第49届宾厄姆顿地貌学研讨会将于2018年10月在纽约的锡拉丘兹举行。 本次研讨会将集中在控制沉积物的启动，运输和沉积在流域跨空间和时间的复杂过程。 将注意收集和分析不同详细程度的数据的不同模式，包括各种实地、实验和建模方法，并结合沉积物追踪和测年等先进技术以及使用无人驾驶航空器和其他遥感器。 专题讨论会的核心实质性主题将是：（1）相对较短时间尺度上的复杂沉积动力过程;（2）相对较长时间尺度上的复杂沉积动力模式和趋势;（3）跨越多个地理尺度的复杂沉积动力。 该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award will help conduct the 49th annual Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium (BGS), an annual gathering of scholars from geography, geology, and other disciplines who focus their attention on the dynamic processes the produce and modify landforms on the surface of the Earth. The BGS will provide a forum that enables scholars from a broad range of universities and other organizations in the U.S. and other nations to collectively examine the current state of knowledge, explore new lines of inquiry and approaches, and facilitate interaction across generations of scholars ranging from long-established experts to early-career researchers and graduate students. The symposium's focus on specific topics over a three-day time period will permit deeper consideration of issues than normally is possible at large scholarly gatherings, and it will facilitate establishment and enhancement of new collaborative links. The funds provided by NSF will be used largely to facilitate the involvement and interaction of at least 25 graduate students in symposium discussions and activities. Special efforts will be made to involve female students, thereby helping to broaden future workforce diversity in this traditionally male-dominated realm. Presentations and other products from the symposium will be made available online, with papers based on noteworthy presentations published in "Geomorphology," a leading scholarly journal.The 49th annual Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium will be conducted in Syracuse, New York, in October 2018. This symposium will focus on the complex processes that control sediment initiation, transport, and deposition in watersheds across space and over time. Attention will be given to different modes for collecting and analyzing data with different levels of detail, including a variety of field, experimental, and modeling approaches combined with advanced technologies such as sediment tracing and dating and the use of unmanned aerial vehicle and other remote sensors. The symposium's core substantive themes will be (1) complex processes of sediment dynamics over relatively short time scales; (2) complex patterns and trends of sediment dynamics over relatively long time scales; and (3) complex sediment dynamics across multiple geographic scales. Participants will address both biophysical and human-related factors that influence the complex process of sediment dynamics.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
