2019 Catchment Science in the Age of Big Data GRC/GRS, Andover, NH, June 23-28, 2019

戈登流域科学研究会议(GRC)的构思是为了提高对流域(也称为流域)中水文学、生物学和地球化学之间相互作用的理解，流域是作为系统的水文流域，包括相互关联的物理、化学和生物过程，这些过程决定了水的组成、状况和价值。没有其他水文科学会议关注这一目标。流域科学GRC自1991年以来每两年举行一次，继续为来自世界各地的学术机构和政府机构的科学家在该领域提供一个独特的机会。GRC流域科学和相关的戈登研究研讨会(GRS，面向早期职业科学家和学生)包括来自广泛学科的成员，但仍专注于流域科学中水文学、生物学和地球化学之间的相互作用。这次会议将从综合、多学科的角度确定新的研究机会，并定义集水科学中的新研究问题。戈登流域科学会议是一项两年一度的活动，吸引了国际观众，并将老牌研究人员与新研究人员混合在一起。今年的会议主题是“在大数据时代超越地点的独特性”，并将探讨如何利用过程研究和大规模、高分辨率建模来推进科学理解。分解集水区的功能和将知识转移到其他地点需要综合的物理、化学和生物观点。戈登研究会议和戈登流域科学研究研讨会的设计形式有利于讨论、互动和关注尖端的跨学科科学。这次会议促进了水文学家、生态学家、工程师、土壤学家和生物地球化学家之间的交流。这次会议将使来自不同学科的集水科学家能够相互交流和学习，以确定研究和科学进步的机会。会议将举办一个会前研究生研究研讨会，在那里年轻的研究人员可以讨论他们的工作，并在更高的职业生涯阶段从研究人员那里获得宝贵的一对一咨询。研究生研究研讨会为早期职业研究人员提供了交流思想的机会，并有机会与同行建立关系，形成下一代科学家。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Catchment Science was conceived on the idea of improving the understanding of interaction among hydrology, biology and geochemistry in catchments (also known as watersheds), which are hydrologic drainage areas that act as systems and encompass interconnected physical, chemical, and biological processes that determine the composition, regime, and value of water. No other hydrologic science meeting is focused on this goal. The Catchment Science GRC, has taken place biennially since 1991 and continues to represent a unique opportunity for scientists from academic institutions and government agencies from around the world in this field. The GRC on Catchment Science and the associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS, for early career scientists and students) includes members from broad ranging disciplines but maintains a focus on interactions among hydrology, biology and geochemistry in catchment science. The conference will identify new research opportunities and define new research questions in catchment science from an integrative, multidisciplinary standpoint. The Gordon Conference on Catchment Science is a biennial event that draws an international audience and mixes established researchers with new investigators. This year's conference theme is "Transcending the Uniqueness of Place in the Age of Big Data" and will examine how process research and large-scale, high resolution modeling can be used to advance scientific understanding. Unraveling catchment functions and transferring knowledge to other sites requires an integrated physical, chemical, and biological perspective. The Gordon Research Conference and the Gordon Research Seminar on Catchment Science are designed with a format that favors discussion, interaction, and a focus on cutting edge, interdisciplinary science. The conference fosters exchange among hydrologists, ecologists, engineers, soil scientists, and biogeochemists. The conference will enable catchment scientists from different disciplines to share and learn from one another in order to identify opportunities for research and scientific advancement. The conference will host a pre-conference Graduate Research Seminar where young investigators can discuss their work and gain valuable one-on-one council from investigators at a more advanced career stage. The Graduate Research Seminar provides opportunities for the exchange of ideas among early career investigators and the opportunity to build relationships with peers that will form the next generation of scientists.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.
