Conference: The 49th Annual Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium; Syracuse, New York; October 2018

该奖项将帮助举办第49届年度宾厄姆顿地貌学研讨会（BGS），这是一次来自地理学、地质学和其他学科的学者的年度聚会，他们将注意力集中在地球表面地貌的形成和改变的动态过程上。BGS将提供一个论坛，使来自美国和其他国家广泛的大学和其他组织的学者能够共同研究当前的知识状况，探索新的研究路线和方法，并促进从资深专家到早期职业研究人员和研究生的几代学者之间的互动。专题讨论会在三天时间内集中讨论具体议题，这将使人们能够比通常大型学术会议更深入地审议问题，并将促进建立和加强新的合作联系。NSF提供的资金将主要用于促进至少25名研究生参与研讨会讨论和活动。将特别努力让女学生参与进来，从而有助于在这个传统上由男性主导的领域扩大未来劳动力的多样性。研讨会的演讲和其他成果将在网上提供，其中一些论文基于发表在著名学术期刊《地貌学》上的值得注意的演讲。第49届宾厄姆顿地貌学年会将于2018年10月在纽约锡拉丘兹举行。本次研讨会将重点讨论控制流域沉积物形成、运输和沉积的复杂过程，这些过程跨越空间和时间。将关注收集和分析具有不同细节水平的数据的不同模式，包括各种实地，实验和建模方法，结合沉积物追踪和定年等先进技术以及无人驾驶飞行器和其他遥感器的使用。研讨会的核心实质性主题将是：(1)相对较短时间尺度上沉积物动力学的复杂过程；(2)在较长时间尺度上泥沙动力学的复杂格局和趋势；(3)跨地理尺度的复杂泥沙动态。与会者将讨论影响沉积物动力学复杂过程的生物物理和人为因素。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award will help conduct the 49th annual Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium (BGS), an annual gathering of scholars from geography, geology, and other disciplines who focus their attention on the dynamic processes the produce and modify landforms on the surface of the Earth. The BGS will provide a forum that enables scholars from a broad range of universities and other organizations in the U.S. and other nations to collectively examine the current state of knowledge, explore new lines of inquiry and approaches, and facilitate interaction across generations of scholars ranging from long-established experts to early-career researchers and graduate students. The symposium's focus on specific topics over a three-day time period will permit deeper consideration of issues than normally is possible at large scholarly gatherings, and it will facilitate establishment and enhancement of new collaborative links. The funds provided by NSF will be used largely to facilitate the involvement and interaction of at least 25 graduate students in symposium discussions and activities. Special efforts will be made to involve female students, thereby helping to broaden future workforce diversity in this traditionally male-dominated realm. Presentations and other products from the symposium will be made available online, with papers based on noteworthy presentations published in "Geomorphology," a leading scholarly journal.The 49th annual Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium will be conducted in Syracuse, New York, in October 2018. This symposium will focus on the complex processes that control sediment initiation, transport, and deposition in watersheds across space and over time. Attention will be given to different modes for collecting and analyzing data with different levels of detail, including a variety of field, experimental, and modeling approaches combined with advanced technologies such as sediment tracing and dating and the use of unmanned aerial vehicle and other remote sensors. The symposium's core substantive themes will be (1) complex processes of sediment dynamics over relatively short time scales; (2) complex patterns and trends of sediment dynamics over relatively long time scales; and (3) complex sediment dynamics across multiple geographic scales. Participants will address both biophysical and human-related factors that influence the complex process of sediment dynamics.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
