2012 Aqueous Corrosion Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar; July 8 - 13, 2012 at Colby-Sawyer College, New Hampshire, Research Seminar (GRS) July 7-8, 2012

金属在水环境中的腐蚀是一个具有重要经济、环境和技术意义的领域。防腐是可持续发展计划的关键组成部分，因为它有助于避免昂贵的更换，限制宝贵资源的消耗，并控制环境污染物的传播。在原子/分子水平上理解材料腐蚀问题，并在耐腐蚀材料和保护系统的设计中使用理论方法变得越来越可能。未来几年在科学上将特别令人兴奋，而本次会议是激发和培养这种热情的理想论坛。本次戈登研究会议和之前的戈登研究研讨会将通过召集一群杰出的研究人员和年轻科学家来讨论各种材料科学和腐蚀问题，促进跨学科的科学互动。口头报告将涵盖从常年问题到那些探索腐蚀科学和相关科学学科之间的接口的范围。将促进对涵盖原子和宏观尺度水平的最新进展的讨论，并将重点放在实验，计算建模和理论方法之间的联系上。GRC-GRS组合提供了一个重要的论坛，将专家和年轻科学家聚集在一起，营造一种旨在促进广泛讨论和传播新知识和理解的氛围。资金将用于支付受邀演讲者的费用，并支持代表人数不足的少数群体和其他有价值的参与者，包括研究生和博士后研究人员，否则他们将无法参加。

Corrosion of metals in aqueous environments is an area of great economic, environmental and technological importance. Prevention of corrosion is a key component of sustainability programs, since it helps avoid costly replacements, limits consumption of valuable resources, and controls the spread of environmental contaminants. It is becoming increasingly possible to understand materials corrosion issues at the atomic/molecular level, and to use theoretical approaches in the design of corrosion resistant materials and protection systems. The next few years promise to be particularly scientifically exciting and this meeting is the ideal forum within which to generate and nurture that enthusiasm. This Gordon Research Conference and the preceding Gordon Research Seminar will foster interdisciplinary scientific interactions by convening a group of distinguished researchers and young scientists to discuss a diverse range of materials science and corrosion issues. Oral presentations will cover the range from perennial issues to those that probe the interfaces between corrosion science and related scientific disciplines. Discussion of recent advances covering the atomistic and macroscale levels will be promoted, and a strong emphasis will be placed on the linkages between experimental, computational modeling and theoretical approaches. The GRC-GRS combination provides an essential forum to bring together experts and young scientists in an atmosphere designed to facilitate extensive discussion and the dissemination of new knowledge and understanding. Funding will be used to defray the expenses of invited GRS speakers and to support the attendance of underrepresented minorities and other worthy participants, including graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, who would otherwise not be able to attend.
