Travel support for AGU Chapman Conference: State-of-the-Art in Hillslope Hydrology

0106612 BandWe请求资助，以帮助支持旅费邀请国际和国内的发言者，以及额外的初级科学家和学生和AGU查普曼会议。 查普曼会议的题目是“山坡水文学的最新发展”，会议将于2001年10月举行。 它已经得到AGU的批准，并由水文和生物地球科学部门共同赞助。 这次会议将集中审查和评估我们目前在山坡水文学的知识，重点是水进入和移动通过山坡系统，并进入一个接收流的过程。 我们将征求论文的主要子课题将包括山坡水输入和输出的机制和模式，流动路径的分布和动态，表面和地下土壤水分和土壤水力特性的空间格局，测量或推断这些过程和状态的方法，以及它们在模型中的表示。这一重点具有重要的影响，形成山坡和流域水文在风暴季节性的时间尺度，转化和出口的沉积物和化学负荷流，植被冠层的分布和动态，土地/大气的相互作用。 会议将汇集该领域国际公认的研究人员与年轻的科学家和学生，并将促进研究发现，突出问题和发展理论和技术的广泛交流。 会议形式将包括上午的特邀全体演讲，下午的海报会议和主持人讨论，以及晚上的额外全体演讲和讨论。 下午将保留足够的自由时间，以便进行娱乐活动和小组讨论。 一天的时间将专门用于到HJ安德鲁斯实验流域进行实地考察，进行简短的介绍，半天的实地考察将在现场进行与山坡水文学相关的研究。 同行评审研究论文将被征集用于会议记录的出版，无论是作为AGU专著还是作为水资源研究的特刊。

0106612BandWe request funding to help support travel expenses for invited international and domestic speakers as well as additional junior scientists and students for and AGU Chapman Conference. The Chapman Conference is entitled "State-of-the-art in hillslope hydrology," and will occur in October, 2001. It is already approved by AGU and cosponsored by the Hydrology and Biogeoscience Sections. This conference will focus on a review and assessment of our current knowledge in hillslope hydrology, with an emphasis on the processes by which water enters and moves through hillslope systems and into a receiving stream. Major subtopics for which we will solicit papers will include mechanisms and patterns of water input and output from hillslopes, the distribution and dynamics of flowpaths, spatial patterns of surface and subsurface soil moisture and soil hydraulic properties, methods of measurement or inference of these processes and states, and their representation in models. This focus has important implications for the formation of hillslope and watershed hydrographs at the storm to seasonal time scale, the transformation and export of sediment and chemical load to streams, the distribution and dynamics of the vegetation canopy, and land/atmosphere interactions. The conference will bring together internationally recognized researchers in the field with younger scientists and students and will promote an extensive exchange of research finding, outstanding questions and developing theories and techniques. The conference format will include invited plenary presentations in the morning, followed by poster sessions and moderated discussion in the afternoons, and an additional plenary talk and discussion in the evening. Sufficient free time during the afternoon will be reserved to allow both recreational activity and smaller group discussion. One day will be devoted to a field trip to the HJ Andrews Experimental Watershed for brief presentations and a half day field trip revolving hillslope hydrology related research at the site. Peer review research papers will be solicited for publications of the proceedings, either as an AGU Monograph or as a special issues of Water Resources Research.
