ABSTRACTOISE 0827111 Chang, Ping, (Texas A&M U.)This award supports a Joint Research Planning Meeting on Comparative Studies of Coastal and Nearshore Environmental Changes in the U.S. and China. The meeting will be held in Qingdao, Shandong Province, China, in October 2008. The key Chinese partners are Prof. Zousheng YANG, of the Ocean University of China; and Prof. Dunxin HU, of the Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Preliminary discussions between the TAMU and Chinese researchers have identified three priority research areas: 1) nearshore/coastal processes, 2) biogeochemical processes, and 3) climate/basin scale processes. The planning meeting will allow the participants to prepare joint research proposals on these themes. The research proposals will exploit the parallels between the Yangtze and Mississippi River basins to resolve uncertainties on the interrelated themes of coastal and ocean environments that are heavily impacted by human activity and climate variability and change. Such changes, in turn, have the potential to create widespread societal and environmental changes. The ten participants to be supported by the NSF award include two senior faculty, two junior faculty, and six advanced graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. The joint research proposals expected to result from this planning meeting will be relevant to societal issues shared by the U.S. and China and beyond, ranging from local and regional fisheries economies to permanent changes in global climate. In addition to the research advances, the proposals will enhance the training of coastal, ocean, and climate scientists capable of addressing critical environmental concerns at all scales of space and time. ***

Abstractoise 0827111 Chang，Ping，（Texas A＆M U.）该奖项支持美国和中国沿海和近岸环境变化的比较研究的联合研究计划会议。 该会议将于2008年10月在中国山东省的Qingdao举行。中国主要的合作伙伴是中国海洋大学的Zousheng Yang教授；中国科学院海洋学研究所的Dunxin Hu教授。 TAMU与中国研究人员之间的初步讨论确定了三个优先研究领域：1）近岸/沿海过程，2）生物地球化学过程以及3）气候/盆地量表过程。计划会议将使参与者能够就这些主题做准备联合研究建议。 研究建议将利用长江和密西西比河盆地之间的相似之处，以解决受到人类活动，气候变化和变化影响的沿海和海洋环境相关主题的不确定性。反过来，这种变化有可能创造广泛的社会和环境变化。 由NSF奖支持的十名参与者包括两名高级教职员工，两名初级教职员工，以及六位高级研究生和博士后研究人员。 预计将由该计划会议提出的联合研究建议将与美国和中国共同共同的社会问题有关，从地方和地区渔业经济体到全球气候的永久变化。 除了研究进展之外，这些建议还将增强能够在各个时空规模上解决关键环境问题的沿海，海洋和气候科学家的培训。 ***
