Predicting the movement of groundwater, which carries nutrients and other chemicals, is of global importance. Groundwater provides for 50% of the global population’s water and 1/3 of all water for Americans. These groundwater systems are strongly affected by geology, ecological systems, and climate, as a result, we need to build a robust workforce to manage this resource. This funding will allow ten graduate students and six faculty from the USA to take part in an international educational event designed to present the very cutting-edge of current knowledge of groundwater systems and their connection to ecological and climatic settings. Participants will gain critical insights and be linked with the leading scientific teams to support their lifelong learning and research endeavors. The 16 US scientists will directly benefit, and the NSF will fund video recordings of every meeting presentation. Furthermore, each presenter will record 5-minute “scientific capsules” specifically for people unable to attend the meeting. NSF funds will dramatically expand the educational outreach from this event. Event participants will gain from lectures covering theory and practice and hands-on use of cutting-edge technology to quantify groundwater processes.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.

预测携带营养物质和其他化学物质的地下水的运动具有重要的全球意义。地下水提供了全球 50% 的人口用水和 1/3 的美国人用水。这些地下水系统受到地质、生态系统、环境等因素的影响。因此，我们需要建立一支强大的劳动力队伍来管理这一资源，这笔资金将允许来自美国的十名研究生和六名教师参加一项旨在展示当前最前沿的国际教育活动。地下水系统的知识和参与者将获得重要的见解，并与领先的科学团队建立联系，以支持他们的终身学习和研究工作，16 名美国科学家将直接受益，并且 NSF 将资助每次会议演示的视频录制。此外，每位演讲者将专门为无法参加会议的人员录制 5 分钟的“科学胶囊”，这将极大地扩大本次活动的教育范围。活动参与者将从涵盖理论和实践以及实际使用的讲座中获益。尖端技术该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
