US-Brazil Workshop: Aerosols in the Amazon - Changes and their Consequences from Past and Future Human Activities, Angra dos Reis, Brazil, February 18-22, 2008

0651836马丁这个美国-巴西奖将支持一个关于亚马逊气溶胶粒子的研讨会。这次会议由哈佛大学的Scot Martin博士与巴西圣保罗大学的Paulo Araxo博士和巴西亚马逊土地利用变化：气候和碳循环影响(Milenio LBA)千年研究所所长合作组织。研讨会将汇集来自美国、巴西和欧洲的研究生和高级研究人员，讨论亚马逊气溶胶粒子的形成、转化及其对云和辐射的影响。这次研讨会将确定研究优先事项，考虑新的研究方法，并讨论国际合作机制。亚马逊气溶胶粒子在南半球作为气候调节器是非常重要的。因此，了解过去和未来人类活动对它们的影响是规划减轻气候变化影响的战略的优先事项。这次研讨会将确定研究优先事项，考虑新的研究方法，并讨论进一步开展国际合作的机制。

0651836MartinThis US-Brazil Award will support a workshop on Amazonian aerosol particles. The meeting is being organized by Dr. Scot Martin of Harvard University, in collaboration with Dr. Paulo Artaxo of the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil and Director of the Brazilian Millennium Institute on Land use Changes in the Amazon: Climatic and Carbon Cycling Implications (Milenio LBA). The workshop will bring together graduate students and senior researchers from the United States, Brazil and Europe to discuss the formation, and transformation of Amazonian aerosol particles as well as their effect on clouds and radiation. This workshop will define research priorities, consider new research approaches, and address mechanisms for international collaboration. Amazonian aerosol particles are very important as a climate regulator in the southern hemisphere. Therefore, understanding the effects of past and future human activities on them is a priority for planning strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change. This workshop will define research priorities, consider new research approaches, and address mechanisms for further international collaboration.
