ACS Symposium on the Chemistry of Global Climate Change

PI：Steinfield 机构：马萨诸塞州理工学院化学系特别项目办公室获得该奖项后，将支持马萨诸塞州理工学院化学系的Jeffrey Steinfield博士组织并开展题为“全球变化的化学”的研讨会。 普渡大学的约瑟夫弗朗西斯科博士将是研讨会的共同组织者。 该研讨会将在9月26日举行的第226届美国化学学会（ACS）会议上举行。2003年8月8日，在纽约市。 专题讨论会的目标是讨论气候科学的现状;建模和温室气体测量;气候变化与涉及臭氧、气溶胶和氧化性自由基的大气化学循环之间的联系;在“温室约束”的世界中能源生产的技术选择;以及发展中国家的观点。 研讨会还将讨论专业化学家，公众，学生和政策制定者之间对这一复杂问题的沟通和看法。 演讲者、小组成员和特邀嘉宾包括少数民族、妇女以及来自大学、工业和政府实验室的发展中国家代表，他们在环境科学、大气科学、气候建模、能源经济学和通信方面具有专长。 研讨会组织者计划向学生、教师和新闻界提供这些介绍。

PI: Steinfield Institution: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyWith this award, the Special Projects Office of the Division of Chemistry is supporting Dr. Jeffrey Steinfield of the Department of Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who will organize and conduct a symposium entitled "The Chemistry of Global Change". Dr. Joseph Francisco of Purdue University will be co-organizer of the symposium. The symposium will be a Presidential Event at the 226th American Chemical Society (ACS) Meeting, Sept. 8, 2003, in New York City. The goal of the symposium is to discuss the current state of climate science; modeling and greenhouse gas measurements; coupling between climate change and atmospheric chemical cycles involving ozone, aerosols and oxidizing radicals; technology options for energy production in a "greenhouse constrained" world; and the viewpoint from developing countries. The symposium will also discuss communication and perception of this complex set of issues among professional chemists, the public, students, and policymakers. The speakers, panelists and invited guests include minorities, women, and representatives of developing countries from universities, industry, and government laboratories having expertise in environmental science, atmospheric science, climate modeling, energy economics and communications. The symposium organizers plan to make the presentations available to students, teachers and the press.
