NSF Workshop: Expanding the role of Reactive Transport Modeling (RTM) within the Biogeochemical Sciences; Washington, DC

这项请求是为了支持一个研讨会，该研讨会旨在评估地球化学界和生物地球化学界内反应运输模型(RTM)的使用现状，找出障碍，并最终加强模型界、实验界和现场研究人员之间的沟通。支持者将邀请20？25名研究人员参加在华盛顿举行的为期两天的研讨会，其中包括领先的反应性运输代码开发/用户和领先的地球化学家和生物地球化学家，他们对将RTM纳入他们的研究工具箱感兴趣。过去十年来，(生物)地球化学和水文数据收集的复杂性和能力大幅增加，而解释工具的可及性却没有增加。因此，在生物、地球化学和水文过程的根本耦合方面存在许多关键问题，可以通过应用RTM方法来独特地解决这些问题。因此，这次研讨会的总体目标是确定促进技术转让方法扩展的途径，同时建立一个强大的用户和开发人员社区。通过解决教育中的系统性挑战和确定关键的技术差距，讲习班的更广泛影响是一个明确的路线图，以确保广泛推广强大的建模方法，这些方法可以利用大规模数据时代来解决(生物)地球化学科学中的新假设。

This request is to support a workshop that aims to assess the current status of Reactive Transport Modeling (RTM) usage within the Geochemical and Biogeochemical communities, to identify barriers, and to ultimately enhance communication between the modeling and experimental and field researcher communities. Proponents will invite 20 ? 25 researchers, include leading reactive transport code developers/users and leading geochemists and biogeochemists who are interested in including RTM in their research toolbox, to participate in a 2-day workshop in Washington, DC. The complexity and capacity of (bio)geochemical and hydrologic data collection have increased substantially over the past decade, while the accessibility of interpretive tools has not. As a consequence, there is a host of key questions regarding the fundamental coupling of biological, geochemical and hydrological process that can be uniquely addressed through the application of RTM approaches. The overall goal of this workshop is therefore to identify pathways that would facilitate the expansion of RTM approaches and concurrently build a strong community of users and developers. By addressing the systemic challenges in education and identifying key technical gaps, the broader impact of the workshop is a clear roadmap to ensure the widespread expansion of powerful modeling approaches that can capitalize on the era of expansive data to address new hypotheses in (bio)geochemical sciences.
