Travel Support for Early Career Scientists to attend the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network 20 meeting

全球湖泊生态观测站网络（GLEON）通过创新科学来了解、预测和交流湖泊在不断变化的全球环境中的作用和响应。GLEON每年都会举行年度会议，以促进全球对湖泊的科学理解。在会议上，科学家们在研究生、早期职业科学家和高级科学领袖之间的培训和指导方面进行合作和分享。他们讨论了科学对公民、湖泊管理者和监管者的应用。为参加将于2018年12月在澳大利亚珀斯举行的年度会议的美国早期职业科学家提供资金。早期职业科学家将参与建立合作者网络，从事科学交流，并设计合作研究项目。将进行协作、前沿科学方法、教学工具和方法方面的培训。会议将为早期职业科学家提供新的科学合作、综合和出版物。一年一度的GLEON会议将为早期职业科学家提供一个独特的机会，参与一个以领先的团队为导向的全球科学，网络，指导和培训。GLEON开发了一种高效的会议形式，以促进协作和创造力，并为现有项目提供密集的面对面会议时间，协助完成进度并加强现有合作者之间的联系，从而导致新项目和新合作者。早期职业科学家将受益于网络和团队建设以及科学交流和演讲。他们将接受关键协作、技术和科学技能方面的培训，如协作和团队科学；使用R软件和分布式建模方法进行数据处理、建模和教学。科学家们将在合成活动、出版物准备和设计新的合作研究项目方面获得经验。早期职业科学家将获得与大型综合项目的国际合作团队合作的关键经验，发展领导技能和跨文化边界开发项目。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。

The Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON) conducts innovative science to understand, predict and communicate the role and response of lakes in a changing global environment. Each year GLEON holds an annual meeting to foster global science understanding about lakes. At the meeting scientists collaborate and share in training and mentoring among graduate students, early career scientists, and senior scientific leaders. They discuss the application of the science to citizens, lake managers, and regulators. Funding is provided for early career US scientists to participate in the annual meeting to be held in Perth, Australia in December 2018. The early career scientists will participate in building networks of collaborators, engage in science exchange, and design collaborative research projects. Training in collaboration, cutting-edge science methods, and teaching tools and approaches will occur. New scientific collaborations, syntheses, and publications will emerge for the early career scientists from the meeting. This annual GLEON meeting will provide early career scientists a unique opportunity to participate in a in leading-edge team-oriented global science, networking, mentoring, and training. GLEON has developed a highly productive meeting format to foster collaboration, creativity, and provide for intensive in-person meeting time to work on existing projects, assisting progress towards completion and strengthening ties among existing collaborators that lead to new projects and new collaborators. The early career scientists will benefit from networking and team building and scientific exchange and presentations. They will be trained in key collaboration, technical, and scientific skills such as collaboration and team science; data processing, modeling, and teaching using R software and distributed modeling approaches with undergraduate students. The scientists will gain experience in synthesis activities and publication preparation and designing new collaborative research projects. The early career scientists will gain key experience in working with international collaborative teams on large-scale synthesis projects, developing leadership skills and developing projects across cultural boundaries.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.
