"Conference on Historical Records, Environmental Impact and Remediation of Contaminated Aquatic Sediments, June 14-16, 1993."

这是为支持一个会议而颁发的奖项，该会议旨在讨论水生沉积物中污染物的存在和浓度与导致它们存在和存在的条件之间的关系浓度。涉及的主题包括评估污染物沉积速率的方法，它们与沉积物的结合，沉降和混合过程在决定污染物扩散中的作用；受化学、物理和生物过程影响的污染物相互作用；以及污染沉积物对上覆地表水水质的影响。会议将于1993年6月14日至16日在威斯康星州密尔沃基举行。计划的共同赞助者包括国际水污染研究与控制协会、美国环境保护署、大湖国家项目办公室、以及国际沉积物-水科学协会。颗粒相关污染物的沉积可以为设计和验证环境模型提供有价值的信息。铅、锌、镉、多氯联苯和多环芳香烃的沉积可以深入了解酸沉积对水质的影响，全球气候变化可能受到人口增长及相关农业和工业活动影响的证据。环境模型可用于预测变化，以指导响应系统的工程设计。

This is an award for support of a conference to address the relationship between pollutant presence and concentration in aquatic sediments and conditions that led to their presence and existing concentrations. Topics to be covered include methods for evaluating rates of pollutant deposition, their incorporation into sediments, the role of sedimentation and mixing processes in determining pollutant dispersion; pollutant interactions influenced by chemical, physical and biological processes; and the role of contaminated sediments in affecting the quality of overlying surface water. The conference will be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from June 14-16, 1993. Planned co-sponsors include the International Association on Water Pollution Research and Control, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Great Lakes National Program Office, and the International Association for Sediment-Water Science. Sedimentary deposits of particle- associated pollutants can provide valuable information for use in devising and validating environmental models. Deposits of lead, zinc, cadmium, polychlorinated biphenyls and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can provide insights into effects of acid deposition on water quality, and evidence of changes in global climate that may be influenced by population growth and associated agricultural and industrial activities. The environmental models may be utilized to predict changes for guidance in engineering design of responsive systems.
