Conference: 9th International Conference on Fog, Fog Collection, and Dew 2023

该项目将支持学生和早期职业科学家前往参加将于2023年7月23日至28日在柯林斯堡科罗拉多州立大学举行的第九届雾、雾收集和露水国际会议。该会议每三年举行一次，是国际科学界关于雾与露的首要综合会议。柯林斯堡会议,会议举行第一次在美国,将汇集来自世界各地的专家来交换信息,刺激新的研究关于如何,,,雾形式,它们如何影响我们的高速公路和机场的安全,雾和露水water-limited生态系统提供重要的输入水,雾和露如何影响空气污染,以及雾和露水可以收获如何在干旱地区提供淡水的来源。该项目将支持研究生和早期职业科学家参与一个充满活力的会议论坛，以交流科学家对雾和露水化学、雾微物理、雾对植被的沉积、自然和人工表面的露水形成、雾对交通和其他基础设施的影响、用于淡水生产的雾和露水收集、雾和低云的卫星遥感、雾形成的数值模拟，冰雾、霜和霜的研究，气候变化对雾和低云发生的影响，等等。它的跨学科性质使这次会议在气象学、生态学、大气化学、云物理、水资源、气候和建筑基础设施弹性的十字路口具有独特的特点。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 will support student and early career scientist travel to the 9th International Conference on Fog, Fog Collection, and Dew to be held at Colorado State University in Fort Collins from July 23-28, 2023. Held every three years, this conference is the international scientific community’s premier comprehensive meeting on fog and dew. The Fort Collins meeting, the first time the conference has been held in the United States, will bring together experts from around the globe to exchange information and stimulate new research concerning how, when, and where fogs form, how they impact the safety of our highways and airports, how fogs and dew provide important input of water to water-limited ecosystems, how fogs and dew impact air pollution, and how fogs and dew can be harvested to provide a source of fresh water in arid regions.This project will support participation of graduate students and early career scientists in a dynamic conference forum for the exchange of ideas and the latest research findings from scientists interested in fog and dew chemistry, fog microphysics, fog deposition to vegetation, dew formation on natural and artificial surfaces, fog impacts on transportation and other infrastructure, the collection of fog and dew for freshwater production, satellite remote sensing of fogs and low clouds, numerical simulation of fog formation, studies of ice fog, riming, and frost, impacts of a changing climate on fog and low cloud occurrence, and more. Its interdisciplinary nature lends this conference a unique character at the crossroads of meteorology, ecology, atmospheric chemistry, cloud physics, water resources, climate, and resiliency of built infrastructure.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.
