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年宾厄姆顿地貌研讨会（BGS）。该项目的目标是目前正在完成研究生学位的早期职业学者的专业发展，或处于学术，职业生涯的早期阶段。研讨会的主题是人类对环境扰动的贡献，这将促进我们对人类在地貌系统中的作用以及他们在保护，改善和管理环境资源中的作用的理解。这次研讨会是一个理想的科学场所，年轻学者与知名专家接触，介绍他们的研究，并与国际科学家社区面对面交谈。这项资助的优点是显而易见的，从以前NSF资助的研讨会反映在科学出版物和合作。这项支持对学生和早期职业学者的更广泛影响是促进未来全球领导者的研究创新和合作，并扩大代表性不足的科学家在STEM研究中的参与。参与BGS将导致尖端研究的发展，并将使美国学者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，并通过讲习班，研讨会和同行评审的出版物传播人类环境研究的进展。这些成就导致对人类对地球的影响进行更具创新性和富有成效的研究，这符合国家在人类对环境影响方面的利益。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 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.
