Proposal for a Planning Meeting to Organize an NSF Sponsored Workshop on Nanotechnology and Environmental Sensors

这是一个规划讲习班，旨在将地球科学家与纳米科学/技术和技术转让社区直接联系起来。本次会议的目标是确定如何发展和实现社区在开发新一代纳米技术传感器和传感器阵列方面的利益，这些传感器和传感器阵列是有效利用NSF、科学家、州和地方政府以及工业目前正在部署的监测网络所需的。研讨会将就将受益于纳米技术的传感器应用提供指导，确定开发目标的优先顺序，并制定创建传感器和阵列的路线图，这些传感器和阵列将在长期现场部署期间保持坚固和可操作。这项工作的更广泛影响为跨越工程、科学和环境边界的科学和工程建立了必要的基础设施。

This is a planning workshop to link geoscientists directly with the nanoscience/technology and technology transfer communities. Goals of this meeting are to identify how to develop and implement community interests in developing a generation of nanotechnology-enabled sensors and sensor arrays that are needed for effective utilization of monitoring networks that are presently being deployed by NSF, scientists, state and local governments, and industry. The workshop will produce guidance on sensor applications that would benefit from nanotechnology, prioritize development targets, and develop a roadmap for creating sensors and arrays that will remain robust and operational during long term field deployments. Broader Impacts of the work build essential infrastructure for science and engineering across engineering, science, and environmental boundaries.
