Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors Research Frontiers Workshop, July 31 - August 3, 1999 at Pennsylvania State University

该奖项旨在支持由环境工程和科学教授协会举办的研讨会，讨论1998年阿西洛马研究前沿会议提出的建议，作为确定研究需求的基础，以解决可预见的环境问题。要讨论的主要议题包括环境工程师对实现可持续环境的潜在贡献，生物和化学科学中分子水平程序的进展的适用性，这些进展可以应用于解决从全球/大陆到中观/微观尺度的重大环境问题。讲习班的最后一个题目将讨论可用于恢复和维持可接受的环境质量水平的工艺技术的进展。预计这次会议的成果将用于指导工程理事会生物工程和环境系统司环境和海洋系统方案的环境工程和环境技术要素的实施。研究结果也将有助于推进美国国家科学基金会对其战略计划中所阐述的整合研究和教育的核心战略的承诺。＊＊＊

9904946 Cannon This is an award to support conduct of a workshop by the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors to discuss recommendations that emerged from the Asilomar Research Frontiers Conference in 1998 as a basis for identification of research needs to address topics that address topics that address foreseeable environmental issues. Major topics to be addressed include the potential for contributions by environmental engineers toward achievement of a sustainable environment, applicability of advances in molecular level procedures in the biological and chemical sciences that can be applied toward addressing significant environmental problems at scales ranging from global/continental to meso/microcosmal. A final workshop topic will address advances in process technologies that can be applied to address restoration and maintenance of acceptable levels of environmental quality. The product of this conference is expected to be used in guiding the conduct of the Environmental Engineering and the Environmental Technology elements of the Environmental and Ocean Systems Program in the Engineering Directorate's Division of Bioengineering and Environmental Systems. Results are also expected to assist in advancing the National Science Foundation's commitment to the core strategy of integrating research and education as articulated in its stragetic plan. ***
