NSF Workshop on Emerging Geoenvironmental Technologies

Date and Location

Date : September 18 - 19, 2003

Location:

Objectives

The objectives of the workshop are:

To summarize the current state-of-the art and the state-of-practice of geoenvironmental engineering
To identify the specific roles that geoenvironmental engineers play
To identify gaps in knowledge about the current geoenvironmental environmental systems
To explore how emerging technologies such as sensor technologies, nanotechnologies and information technologies may be utilized for geoenvironmental systems
To identify and prioritize research needs in geoenvironmental systems
To identify geoenvironmental educational needs
To facilitate collaboration among researchers and practicing engineers

Workshop Structure

In order to cover a broad range of geoenvironmental engineering issues, the participants will be divided into the following three technical committees:

Each committee will consist of at least 10 members who will be identified based on their experience and interest. All of the participants must submit a white paper on current state as well as research and educational needs of geoenvironmental engineering. Please see Paper Submission for details and guidelines. All of these papers will be made available electronically to all the participants.

The workshop will be held for two days, with the first day presentations reflecting the stat-of-practice, state-of-education and the state-of-the-art. During the second day morning, individual committees will meet and identify the research and educational needs. Following these individual meetings, all the participants will be convened to discuss suggestions and recommendations of each committee.
