2018 Gordon Research Conference on Biogenic Hydrocarbons and the Atmosphere: Connecting Volatiles and the Climate System from Leaf to Planet; Switzerland; June 10-15, 2018

该项目支持第九届国际戈登研究会议，题为“2018年戈登生物碳氢化合物与大气研究会议：将挥发物和气候系统从叶子连接到地球”。生物烃是由植被自然释放的挥发性化合物，在各种尺度的生态系统和大气化学中起着重要作用。会议将通过提高对生物圈-大气痕量气体交换和人类活动在全球环境变化中的作用的理解，对社会产生影响。本次戈登研究会议的参与者将取得四个重要成果。首先，综述了生物烃生物合成、生态功能、生态系统-大气相互作用、排放、大气输送和相关化学转化等方面的最新科学进展。其次，与会者将制定新的研究策略，以解决生物烃领域在经历快速物理和化学变化的世界中出现的新问题。将特别强调制定研究策略，以量化生物烃对二次气溶胶形成的贡献。戈登研究会议的第三个成果是青年科学家参与上述口头和海报报告。会议组织者还将特别努力邀请和确保女性同事的参与。这次会议的最终结果将是鼓励来自不同领域的科学家参与和参与，以探索跨学科的、最先进的科学的潜力。为了解决与生物碳氢化合物相关的各种主题，2018年戈登“生物碳氢化合物与大气”研究会议将于2018年6月10日至15日在瑞士举行。美国国家科学基金将为参与者提供注册费和/或旅费支持，优先考虑博士后和研究生。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 project supports the 9th international Gordon Research Conference titled "2018 Gordon Research Conference on Biogenic Hydrocarbons and the Atmosphere: Connecting Volatiles and the Climate System from Leaf to Planet." Biogenic hydrocarbons are volatile compounds that are released naturally by vegetation and play an important role in ecosystems and atmospheric chemistry across a variety of scales. The conference will impact society by improving the understanding of biosphere-atmosphere trace gas exchange and the role of human activities in global environmental change.The participants in this Gordon Research Conference will accomplish four important results. First, the most up-to-date science of biogenic hydrocarbon biosynthesis, ecological functions, ecosystem-atmosphere interactions, emissions, atmospheric transport, and associated chemical transformation will be summarized. Second, the conference participants will devise new research strategies to address emerging questions in the field of biogenic hydrocarbons in a world undergoing rapid physical and chemical changes. Particular emphasis will be placed on developing research strategies to quantify the contribution of biogenic hydrocarbons on secondary aerosol formation. A third outcome of this Gordon Research Conference is the participation of junior scientists in the oral and poster presentations described above. The meeting organizers will also make special efforts to invite and secure the participation of female colleagues. A final outcome of this conference will be to encourage the participation and engagement of scientists from diverse fields to explore the potential for cross-disciplinary, state-of-the-art science.To address the various topics associated with biogenic hydrocarbons, the 2018 Gordon Research Conference on "Biogenic Hydrocarbons and the Atmosphere" will take place in Switzerland from June 10-15, 2018. NSF funding will provide support for registration fees and/or travel support for participants, with preference given to post docs and graduate students.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.
