Gordon Research Conference on Environmental Sciences: Water to be held in Holderness, NH on June 22-27, 2014

CBET-1346372 Paul TratnyekGordon研究该项目支持将于2014年6月22日至27日举行的戈登环境科学研究会议：水。今年的统一主题将是人类影响的世界中的环境科学。 会议将在一个非正式的环境中汇集与会者，由已建立和新兴的科学家进行全体会议，讨论前沿水生科学研究，探讨人类如何改变环境影响从分子到景观尺度的关键过程。范围将涵盖多个学科（化学，生物学，地质学，工程学，健康科学），介质（土壤，地下水，地表水，大气水，饮用水，废水）和尺度（分子，纳米，细胞，生态系统，全球）。 会议主题将研究污染物的命运，氧化还原转换，水生有机物，消耗水的使用，处理和释放，先进的分析和计算工具，人类和生态系统健康，以及科学交流。这些正式会议将辅之以海报会议，将所有职业阶段的科学家，包括研究生和博士后研究人员，纳入科学讨论。总之，这次会议的组织形式将推动促进科学学科之间更有效的交流和思想整合的总体目标，并将有助于确定解决影响水质的重要问题的新方法，为所有用途提供清洁水需要在更广泛的环境政策框架内从多学科中得出综合解决方案。会议通过为研究生和博士后研究人员提供一个平台来展示他们的研究并充分参与会议活动，从而促进教学，培训和学习。会议形式提供了一个不寻常的和理想的手段，通过来自工业界，政府实验室和学术界的参与者的密切互动，传播研究成果。最后，会议通过选择发言者和通过针对代表性不足群体的特别全球资源中心供资机制，促进来自不同背景的广泛参与。

CBET-1346372Paul TratnyekGordon ResearchThis project supports the Gordon Research Conference on Environmental Sciences:Water to be held June 22-27, 2014. This year, the unifying theme will be Environmental Sciences in a Human-Impacted World. The conference will bring together participants in an informal setting, for a program of plenary talks by established and emerging scientists to discuss frontier aquatic sciences research that explores how human alterations of the environment influence critical processes from the molecular to the landscape scale. The scope will span multiple disciplines (chemistry, biology, geology, engineering, health science), media (soil, groundwater, surface water, atmospheric water, drinking water, wastewater), and scales (molecular, nano, cellular, ecosystem, global). Session topics will examine contaminant fates, redox transitions, aquatic organic matter, consumptive water use, treatment and release, advanced analytical and computational tools, human and ecosystem health, and science communication. These formal sessions will be complemented by poster sessions that integrate scientists at all career stages, including graduate and post-doctoral researchers, in scientific discussions. Together, the organizational format of this conference will advance the overall goal of facilitating more effective communication and integration of ideas between scientific disciplines and will contribute to the identification of new approaches for solving important problems affecting water quality.The provision of clean water for all uses requires integrated solutions drawn from multiple disciplines in a broader framework of environmental policy. The conference advances discovery while promoting teaching, training, and learning by offering a platform for graduate student and postdoctoral researchers to present their research and participate fully in the conference activities. The conference format provides and unusual and ideal means for the dissemination of research results, through close interaction of participants from industry, government laboratories, and academia. Finally, the conference promotes broad participation from a diverse background, both through the speaker selection and through special GRC funding mechanisms that target underrepresented groups.
