Conference: Student and Early Career Participation for the Solving Water Availability Challenges through an Interdisciplinary Framework Chapman Conference

该奖项提供资金，以支持早期职业研究人员参加美国地球物理联盟（AGU）查普曼会议，题为“综合评估：通过跨学科框架解决水资源可用性挑战”。早期职业科学家将：（1）通过关于当前挑战和领先研究的演讲和讨论获得信息，（2）通过参加会议和研讨会，向寻求合作的专家或感兴趣的研究人员介绍，以及（3）更好地了解如何扩大他们的研究，以纳入综合目标和目标，为当前的跨学科挑战做出贡献。本次会议的讨论、成果和工作组或关系将直接影响综合水资源可用性评估的未来，以及美国和世界各地如何应对水资源挑战。会议旨在探讨不同的观点、假设、数据类型和研究方法，以促进对水资源可用性的综合评估，并推动科学发展。本次会议将概述当前的挑战，最近的进展，以及改善综合评估和跨学科科学的途径，以解决水的可用性研究。尽管水的可用性固有的复杂性，水文循环历来是从狭隘的学科角度和社会背景孤立的研究。本次会议旨在促进研究人员、从业人员和学科专家之间的讨论，以推动跨学科合作向前发展。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 provides funding to support participation of early-career researchers in the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Chapman Conference titled, “Integrated Assessments: Solving Water Availability Challenges through an Interdisciplinary Framework.” Early career scientists will: (1) get information via presentations and discussions about current challenges and leading research, (2) get introduced to experts or interested researchers seeking collaborations through participation in sessions and workshops, and (3) achieve a better understanding of how to broaden their research to incorporate integrated goals and objectives to contribute towards current interdisciplinary challenges. Discussions, outcomes, and working groups or relationships that result from this conference will directly impact the future of integrated water availability assessments and how water resource challenges are addressed throughout the U.S. and around the world. The conference aims to explore divergent views, assumptions, data types, and research methods to facilitate integrated assessments of water availability and move the state of the science forward. This conference will provide an overview of current challenges, recent progress, and pathways toward the improvement of integrated assessments and interdisciplinary science to address water availability research. Despite the inherent complexity of water availability, the hydrologic cycle has historically been studied from narrow disciplinary perspectives and isolated from societal context. This conference is structured to facilitate discussion between researchers, practitioners, and disciplinary experts to propel interdisciplinary collaboration forward.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.
