Workshop on Research Needs for Coastal Pollution in Urban Areas; October 16-17, 1997; Milwaukee, Wisconsin

9711151克里斯滕森该奖项旨在支持举办一个研讨会，以考虑美国城市沿海水域特有的环境问题。约翰霍普金斯大学地理与环境工程系的Charles R. O'Melia博士将担任研讨会的联合主席。国家研究委员会水科学和技术委员会的一份报告《沿海城市地区废水管理》将是解决这一问题的一份资源文件。要讨论的主题包括与确定因受污染沉积物的存在而引起的环境问题的性质和范围的方法有关的研究需要，防止污染物今后的积累以及消除污染的适当条件和方法。虽然水污染的点源通常很容易识别，但非点源，例如来自已开发和未开发土地的径流以及来自大气的沉积，则不易识别。预计这次会议的成果将是一份报告，可用于环境系统研究方案的规划操作，因为它解决了对沿海社区具有特殊意义的问题。本研究的结果有望导致改进的模型，可用于污染预防系统、污染控制设施设施和受污染水产资源去污的工程设计。＊＊＊

9711151 Christensen This is an award to support conduct of a workshop to consider environmental problems that are characteristic of urban coastal waters of the United States. Co-Chairman of the workshop will be Dr. Charles R. O'Melia, Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering, The Johns Hopkins University. A resource document to be used for addressing this topic will be Managing Wastewater in Coastal Urban Areas, a report of the National Research Council's Water Science and Technology Board. Topics to be addressed include research needs associated with approaches to determine the nature and scope of the environmental problems resulting from the presence of contaminated sediments, prevention of future accumulations of contaminants and appropriate conditions and approaches for their decontamination. While point-sources of water pollution are generally readily identifiable, non-point sources such as those attributable to runoff from developed and undeveloped land as well as deposition from the atmosphere are not. The product of this conference is expected to be a report that can be used in planning operation of the Environmental Systems research program as it addresses problems of special significance to coastal communities. Results of this research are expected to lead to improved models that can be utilized in engineering design of systems to prevent pollution, facilities for pollution control facilities and decontamination of polluted aquatic resources. ***
