U.S.-Korea Seminar on Reduction of Natural Disaster in Water Environment, Seoul, Korea, July 17-21, 1995

9521457 Bhowmik这个病房提供资金，允许伊利诺伊州水调查水文部主任Nani Bhowmik博士与首尔国立大学土木工程教授Il Won Seo博士一起举办关于减少水环境中的自然灾害的美韩联合研讨会。该奖项将支持十名美国科学家/工程师和两名美国研究生的参与，他们每人将提交科学论文。减少水环境中的自然灾害是世界许多地区高度关注的问题。在美国，在1993年密西西比河、密苏里河和伊利诺伊河发生大洪水后，将此类自然灾害降至最低的必要性受到了特别关注。由于1993年的洪灾，其他国家对防灾或减少洪灾的科学和工程方面的兴趣也有所增加。预防和减少因大坝坍塌和其他原因造成的灾害也是很有意义的。联合研讨会将为美国与会者提供一个机会，就此次联合研讨会领域的问题与韩国科学家和工程师交流科学信息。来自两国的与会者都是公认的专家，他们的发言将使双方感兴趣和受益。该项目与美韩合作科学计划的目标相关，该计划旨在通过交流科学信息、想法、技能和技术以及通过在共同感兴趣和利益的问题上进行合作来提高美国和韩国科学家和工程师之间的合作水平。韩国的参与得到了韩国科学与工程基金会(KOEF)以及韩国水资源公司(KOWACO)和韩国建筑技术研究所(KICT)的合作的支持。***

9521457 Bhowmik This a ward provides funds to permit Dr. Nani Bhowmik, Head, Hydrology Division, Illinois State Water Survey, to conduct with Dr. Il Won Seo, Professor of Civil Engineering, Seoul National University, a U.S.-Korea Joint Seminar on the Reduction of Natural Disasters in Water Environments. This award will support the participation of ten U.S. scientists/engineers and two U.S. graduate students, each of whom will present scientific papers. The reduction of natural disasters in water environments is a matter of great concern in many parts of the world. In the United States, the need for minimizing such natural disasters has been given special attention following the great flood of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois Rivers in 1993. Because of the 1993 flood, interest in the scientific and engineering aspects of disaster prevention or reduction due to flooding also has grown in other countries, as well. Prevention and reduction of disaster due to the failure of dams and other causes also is of interest. The joint seminar will provide an opportunity for U.S. participants to exchange scientific information with Korean scientists and engineers on problems in the field of this joint seminar. The participants from both countries are recognized experts whose presentations will be of mutual interest and benefit. This project is relevant to the objectives of the U.S.- Korea Cooperative Science Program which seeks to increase the level of cooperation between U.S. and Korean scientists and engineers through the exchange of scientific information, ideas, skills, and techniques and through collaboration on problems of mutual interest and benefit. Korean participation is supported by the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF) with the cooperation of the Korea Water Resources Corporation (KOWACO) and the Korea Institute of Construction Technology (KICT). ***
