International Workshop on Agriculture Impacts of Air Quality; Washington, District of Columbia; During 2006

该奖项将于2006年在华盛顿特区举行为期3天的专题研讨会“空气质量对农业的影响国际研讨会”。该研讨会由美国农业部联合主办，将向整个社区开放，并将涵盖有关农业在地球系统科学中的作用的广泛主题。可供讨论的议题包括：农业做法对环境的影响；农业向大气排放微量气体；农业中自然和人为物种的生物地球化学处理以及与这些因素相关的气候影响。该项目的更广泛的科学影响包括增进我们对农业实践和排放对农村和区域空气质量的影响的理解。将提交一份综合和综合文件，详细说明讲习班的会议记录和研究结果，供科学杂志出版，并提供给管理界，以协助决策。此外，该研讨会将汇集成熟的研究人员和早期职业科学家，在一个重点突出和富有成效的论坛上提供宝贵的专业互动机会。该奖项提供的旅费支持将促进来自美国机构的一些早期职业科学家的出席，特别强调吸引少数民族和其他未被充分代表的群体的申请。

This award supports a specialty "International Workshop on the Agricultural Impacts of Air Quality," a 3-day symposium to be held in the Washington, D.C. area during 2006. The workshop is jointly sponsored by the US Department of Agriculture, will be open to the community at large, and will cover a broad range of topics concerning the role of agriculture in Earth system science. Topics open for discussion will include: environmental impacts of agricultural practices; agriculturally emitted trace gases to the atmosphere; biogeochemical processing of natural and anthropogenic species in agriculture; and climate effects associated with each of these. The broader scientific impacts of this project include advancing our understanding of the influences of agricultural practices and emissions on rural and regional air quality. A synthesis and integration document detailing workshop proceedings and findings will be submitted for science journal publication and also made available to the regulatory community to assist with policy decisions. 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 applications from minorities and other underrepresented groups.
