USA/CIS Joint Conference on Environmental Hydrology and Hydrogeology, May 15-21, 1993, Washington, D.C.

这一奖项是为了帮助支持环境水文学和水文地质学会议。这次会议由美国地质调查局和俄罗斯科学院联合主办，将于1993年5月15日至21日在华盛顿特区举行。会议将讨论与工业和农业做法对水文环境的影响有关的重大问题，包括它们对全球气候变化的影响。共同支持该奖项的国家科学基金会(NSF)计划是环境和海洋系统以及工程局的自然和人为灾害缓解计划；地球科学局的水文科学计划；以及美国国家科学基金会国际项目部的前苏联计划。这次会议的成果预计将为国家科学基金会在规划和支持环境和海洋系统工程、自然和人为灾害缓解、水文科学，并协助提高美国科学界和工程界对与各国科学家和工程师进行研究合作的新机会的参与和了解独立国家联盟，前身为苏联。

This is an award to assist in the support of a conference on Environmental Hydrology and Hydrogeology. This conference under joint sponsorship of the United States Geological Survey and the Russian Academy of Sciences will be held in Washington, D.C. from May 15- 21, 1993. The conference will address major issues that relate to impacts of industrial and agricultural practices on the hydrologic environment including their impacts on global climate change. National Science Foundation (NSF) programs jointly supporting this award are the Environmental and Ocean Systems and the Natural and Man-Made Hazards Mitigation Programs in the Engineering Directorate; the Hydrologic Sciences Program in the Directorate for Geosciences; and the former Soviet Union Program in NSF's Division of International Programs. Results of this conference are expected to provide guidance to the National Science Foundation in planning and support of research in environmental and ocean systems engineering, natural and man-made hazards mitigation, hydrologic sciences, and to assist in improving the participation and understanding of U.S. science and engineering communities in new opportunities for research cooperation with scientists and engineers in countries of the Confederation of Independent States, formerly known as the Soviet Union.
