U.S.-China Joint Workshop: Sediment Transport and Sediment Induced Disasters

9813741Soon这是一个为期15个月的奖项，由伊利诺伊大学的Tawei Soong和Ben Yen博士以及中国科学院国际侵蚀与沉积研究培训中心的王兆银教授提议。 这些私人机构要求为11名美国科学家提供资金，以便他们于1999年3月前往中国北京参加一个关于泥沙输运和泥沙灾害的联合研讨会。 研讨会旨在深入了解河流沉积、灾害和控制战略的机制，并将探讨两国科学家交流知识和经验的有效方法，以满足他们的研究和教育需求，并启动未来在这一领域的合作。 本项目由国家自然科学基金委员会和美国国家科学基金会共同资助。

9813741SoongThis is a 15 month award proposed by Drs. Tawei Soong and Ben Yen of the University of Illinois, and Professor Wang Zhaoyin of International Research and Training Center on Erosion and Sedimentation of Chinese Academy of Science. The P.I.s request funds for 11 U.S. scientists to travel to Beijing, China to attend a joint workshop on sediment transport and sediment induced disasters in March , 1999. The workshop is aimed at gaining insights into the mechanisms of river sedimentation, disasters and control strategies and will explore effective approaches for scientists in both countries to exchange knowledge and experience, to meet their research and education needs, and to initiate future cooperation in this field. This project is jointly supported by the National Science Foundation of China and the NSF.
