Symposium on Processes Governing the Movement and Fate of Groundwater Contaminants, July 24-26, 1989

这一奖项是为了支持1989年7月24日至26日在斯坦福大学举办的关于管理地下环境中污染物的移动和命运的过程的国际研讨会。研讨会的目的是将处于地下水研究前沿的工程师和科学家聚集在一起，评估目前的知识状况，确定研究需求。专题讨论会的主题非常具体，以便与会者能够将他们的注意力集中在这一难题的一些最重要的方面。地下污染是当前的主要环境问题之一，由于人们对决定污染物在地下水含水层中扩散和扩散方式的过程了解有限，因此正在投入巨额资金来解决这一复杂问题。预计这次会议的成果将用于规划应对措施和确定研究需要。这次会议也得到了美国地质调查局和美国环境保护局的支持。

This is an award to provide support for conduct of an international symposium on processes governing the movement and fate of contaminants in the subsurface environment at Stanford University from July 24 to 26, 1989. The purpose of the symposium is to bring together engineers and scientists who are at the forefront of groundwater research to assess the current state of knowledge and identify research needs. Symposium topics have been made very specific so that the participants can direct their attention to some of the most important aspects of this difficult problem. Subsurface contamination is one of the major current environmental problems and enormous expenditures are being made to solve this complex problem in the face of limited knowledge regarding processes that determine the manner by which pollutions are diffused and dispersed in groundwater aquifers. Results of this conference are expected to be utilized in planning of responsive measures and in identifying research needs. This conference is also being supported by the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
