Assessment of Soil Erosion and Environmental Problems in China's Yellow River Watershed

西北农林科技大学常务副校长李靖教授亲自向11名美国科学家发出邀请，帮助中国评估黄河流域的水土流失和环境问题。11名科学家中有9名是美国政府雇员。这两名非政府科学家需要国际旅行和相关费用的支持。两名非政府美国科学家的拟议参与扩大了团队中代表的科学学科的范围。此行将使从事这一课题研究的美国科学家接触到正在进行的项目和中国的现场条件，并提供数据，这些数据可用于在比美国发现的任何条件都更极端的条件下，对该过程的基本原理进行科学理解。中国内部的所有住宿和旅行费用都将由东道国提供支持。这些资金将支持代表团的两名非政府成员的国际和杂费。关于问题、观察、结论和建议的报告将提交给东道主和NSF赞助商。

0101353SpriggThe Executive Vice-President of Northwest Science and Technology University of Agriculture and Forestry, Professor Li Jing, has sent personal invitations to 11 U.S. scientists to help China assess soil erosion and environmental problems in the Yellow River watershed. Nine of the 11 scientists are employees of the U.S. government. The two non-government scientists require support for international travel and related expenses.The proposed participation of two non-governmental U.S. scientists broadens the range of scientific disciplines represented on the team. The trip would expose U.S. scientists working on the topic to programs under way and to field conditions in China and provide access to data that can be used to develop a scientific understanding of the process fundamentals in conditions more extreme than any found in the United States. All housing and travel expenses inside China will be supported by the host country. These funds would support international and incidental expenses for the two non-government members of the delegation.A report of the issues, observations, conclusions, and recommendations will be submitted to both the host and the NSF sponsor.
