Conference: 2023 Catchment Science: Interactions of Hydrology, Biology and Geochemistry GRC and GRS Challenges and Uncertainty in Predicting Catchment Responses to Stress

压力以复杂的方式影响着我们的自然世界。了解这些复杂性如何体现在水，营养物质和污染物在自然和人文景观中的运动，需要汇集具有一系列主题专业知识的科学家。这种跨学科的方法被称为集水科学，它有意寻求不仅包括水文学家，而且还包括土壤科学家，生态学家，化学家和其他人。集水区科学家可以在利用有用的系统边界的规模上解决复杂的环境问题。该奖项支持早期的职业生涯和多样化的研究人员参加戈登研究会议在流域科学在2023年6月。本次会议及其相关的研究生和博士后研究人员研讨会将促进集水科学下一代研究人员的专业发展，并发展研究的核心基础，以应对今天和明天的压力。确认的计划包括来自不同职业阶段和背景的科学家，包括多尺度建模，药物和新兴污染物，微塑料，干旱，火灾以及新兴工具，以整合来自这些重叠压力源的数据。在接下来的几个月里，这次会议将为环境压力源的研究以及如何解开和预测其可能的影响提供方向。在未来的几年里，这个会议将支持一个更加多样化和相互联系的国际流域科学家社区，以及流域科学的新工具和概念模型。这个奖项反映了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。

Stress impacts our natural world in complex ways. Understanding how those complexities manifest in water, nutrient, and pollutant movement through the natural and human landscape requires bringing together scientists with expertise in a range of topics. This interdisciplinary approach has been referred to as catchment science, which deliberately seeks to include not only hydrologists, but also soil scientists, ecologists, chemists and others. Together catchment scientists can tackle complex environmental problems at a scale that leverages useful system boundaries. This award supports early-career and diverse researchers to attend a Gordon Research Conference in Catchment Science in June 2023. This conference and its associated seminar for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers will foster the professional development of the next generation of researchers in catchment science and the development of a core foundation of research to tackle the stressors of today and tomorrow. The confirmed program includes a diverse group of scientists from different career stages and backgrounds, including multi-scale modeling, pharmaceuticals and emerging contaminants, microplastics, drought, fire, and emerging tools to integrate data from these overlapping stressors. Over the coming months, this conference will provide direction to research on environmental stressors and how to disentangle and predict their likely effects. Over the coming years, this conference will support a more diverse and connected international community of catchment scientists and new tools and conceptual models in catchment science.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.
