Workshop on Atmospheric Importance of Biogenic Hydrocarbons in Early Spring 2005

该奖项支持将于2005年初春在弗吉尼亚大学举办的专题“生物碳氢化合物在大气中的重要性研讨会”。本期讲习班以最近召开的戈登生物碳氢化合物与大气研究会议为基础，其具体目标是：(1)审查北美植被模式的数十年变化以及变化如何改变碳氢化合物的生产率；(2)关于生物碳氢化合物的光氧化和二次气溶胶形成的科学评价；(3)制定新的研究战略，以增进目前对生物碳氢化合物的来源、命运、运输和转化的了解。该项目的更广泛影响包括促进我们对生物碳氢化合物对大气成分、辐射传输和气候的影响的理解。此外，研讨会将汇集知名研究人员和早期职业科学家，为在一个集中和富有成效的论坛中进行专业互动提供宝贵的机会。该奖项下的旅行支持将促进来自美国机构的一些早期职业科学家的出席，特别强调吸引少数族裔科学家。

This award supports a specialty "Workshop on the Atmospheric Importance of Biogenic Hydrocarbons" to be held at University of Virginia in Early Spring 2005. This workshop builds upon the recent Gordon Research Conference on biogenic hydrocarbons and the atmosphere by specifically targeting: (1) a review of multi-decadal changes in North America vegetation patterns and how changes have modified hydrocarbon production rates; (2) a state of the science evaluation regarding photooxidation of biogenic hydrocarbons and secondary aerosol formation; and (3) developing new research strategies to improve current understanding of the sources, fates, transport and transformations of biogenic hydrocarbons. The broader impacts of this project include advancing our understanding of the influences of biogenic hydrocarbons on atmospheric composition, radiative transfer and climate. In addition, the workshop will bring together established researchers and early career scientists, providing invaluable opportunities for professional interactions in a focused and productive forum. Travel support under this award will facilitate attendance by a number of early career scientists from U.S. institutions, with particular emphasis placed on attracting minority scientists.
