Research and Development Support for Early Career Geomorphology Scientists

该项目支持地貌学领域的早期职业研究人员参加2021年宾厄姆顿地貌学研讨会（BGS）。该项目针对正在完成研究生学位或处于学术、职业生涯早期阶段的早期职业学者的专业发展。研讨会的主题是人类对环境干扰的贡献，促进我们对人类在地貌系统中的作用的理解，以及人类在保护、改善和管理环境资源方面的作用。本次研讨会是青年学者与知名专家交流、展示他们的研究以及与国际科学界面对面交流的理想科学场所。从以前NSF资助的专题讨论会在科学出版物和合作中反映出来，这项资助的优点是显而易见的。这种对学生和早期职业学者的支持的更广泛影响是研究创新和合作，促进未来的全球领导者，并扩大未被充分代表的科学家参与STEM研究。参与BGS将促进前沿研究的发展，并使美国学者能够在这些努力中发挥带头作用。这些年轻学者制定新的研究议程，调查关键的科学和社会挑战，促进与国际社会的合作，并通过研讨会、研讨会和同行评审的出版物传播人类环境研究的进展。这些成就促使在人类对地球的影响方面开展更具创新性和富有成效的研究，在人类对环境的影响方面为国家利益服务。这次活动将为保护包括美国在内的世界各地的环境资源提供新的见解和方法。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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 project supports early career researchers in the field of geomorphology to attend the 2021 Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium (BGS). This project targets the professional development of early career scholars who are currently completing a graduate degree, or are in the early stages of their academic, professional career. The theme of the symposium is the contribution of humans to environmental disturbances that advances our understanding of the role of humans on geomorphic systems, and their role in protecting, improving, and managing environmental resources. This symposium is an ideal scientific venue for young scholars to engage with established experts, present their research, and to talk face-to-face with an international community of scientists. The merit of this funding is evident from previously NSF funded symposiums reflected in scientific publications and collaborations. The broader impact of this support for students and early career scholars is research innovation and collaboration that promotes future global leaders, and to broaden participation of underrepresented scientists in STEM research.Participation in the BGS will lead to the development of cutting-edge research and will enable U.S. scholars to take the lead in these endeavors. These young scholars develop new research agendas that investigate key scientific and societal challenges, promote collaboration with the international community, and disseminate advances in human-environment research through workshops, seminars, and peer-reviewed publications. These accomplishments result in the development of more innovative and productive research on human influences on the Earth that serves the Nation’s interests regarding human impact on environments. The event will provide new insights and approaches to preserving environmental resources throughout the world, including the United States.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.
