Broadening Participation in the AGU and CUAHSI Frontiers in Hydrology Meeting

该奖项支持学生和早期职业研究人员参加将于2022年6月19日至24日在波多黎各圣胡安举行的首届水文前沿会议。水文前沿会议将召集广大的水科学界，推动水文科学领域的发展。会议由美国地球物理联盟（AGU）水文科和促进水文科学大学联盟（CUAHSI）联合举行。会议将汇集水资源社区，分享研究结果，发展新的合作，建立网络，并探索水资源问题与人类经验之间的联系。这次会议汇集了水文学家、工程师、社会科学家、学生、记者、决策者、教育工作者、城市规划者、自然灾害专业人员和其他人，以更好地了解水及其与地球环境一起在维护可行的未来方面发挥的关键作用。会议将重点讨论环境正义和公平、管理稀缺资源、预测未来水资源的可用性和质量以及模拟复杂系统等主题。这些基础广泛的关键主题将使人们能够就地球仪不同地区水文系统的未来进行广泛讨论，并吸引多个受影响的受众。这笔赠款将支持学生和早期职业研究人员的多元化社区的参与。该计划将被设计为包括指导和网络的机会。这次会议为水文领域代表性不足的社区，特别是加勒比和拉丁美洲的社区提供了更多参与的机会，因为会议将在波多黎各的圣胡安举行。它还将为学生和早期职业科学家提供建立专业网络和建立新合作的机会。一些当地的实地考察和其他项目将为与会者和当地社区提供参与的机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得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的支持。

This award is supporting participation by students and early-career researchers in the inaugural Frontiers in Hydrology Meeting to be held in June 19-24, 2022, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Frontiers in Hydrology Meeting will convene the broad water science community and advance the field of hydrologic science. The meeting is being jointly held by the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Hydrology Section and the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Sciences, Inc (CUAHSI). The meeting will bring together the water community to share findings, develop new collaborations, network, and explore connections between water issues and the human experience. The meeting brings together hydrologists, engineers, social scientists, students, journalists, policymakers, educators, urban planners, natural disaster professionals and others to better understand water and the critical role it plays, in conjunction with the Earth environment, in preserving a viable future. The meeting will focus on topics of environmental justice and equity, managing scarce resources, projecting future water availability and quality, and simulating complex systems. These broad-based, critical topics will allow for extensive discussions on the future of hydrologic systems in different areas of the globe and bring in multiple affected audiences. This grant will support participation by a diverse community of students and early-career researchers. The program will be designed to include mentoring and networking opportunities. This conference provides an opportunity for greater participation from communities underrepresented in the field of hydrology, especially those in the Caribbean and Latin America, as the conference will be held physically in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It will also offer an opportunity for students and early-career scientists to build their professional networks and establish new collaborations. Several local field trips and other projects will provide opportunities for engagement between meeting participants and local communities.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.
