* NSF Directorate for Engineering 美国自然科学基金 Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CBET) Environmental Engineering and Sustainability Cluster Environmental Engineering Program Director - Paul L. Bishop - pbishop@nsf.gov ? Trends in Research Education ? Program Topical Areas ? Research Project Examples ? Tools and techniques in areas of measurements, analysis, modeling, and synthesis are becoming increasingly sophisticated ? This requires interfacing with more science and engineering areas ? Refocusing on large natural systems and on more holistic (cross-media) studies at large spatial scales while also expanding in the opposite direction: nano-science, molecular and genetic analysis ? Developing broad theoretical/conceptual underpinnings by embracing concepts of industrial ecology, sustainability, and ecological engineering Trends in Research and Education * Environmental EngineeringProgram at NSF The Environmental Engineering program supports innovative science-based engineering research and education with the goals of: ? restoring and maintaining the chemical, physical, and biological quality of the Nation’s water, air and land environment ? preventing human exposure to toxic chemicals and pathogenic bacteria ? achieving sustainable development of natural resources. * Some “hot” topical areas in the 热点 Environmental Engineering programs Pollutant Fate/Transformation ? Environmental fate and reaction kinetics concerning the persistence of antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, personal-care products, and other emerging contaminants in the environment 抗生素、药物、个人护理用品和其他突发性污染物的环境命运和反应动力学 Nano-technology in Environmental Engineering ? Applications of nano-materials in water and wastewater treatment, air pollution control, and ground-water remediation; environmental and health implications of nano-materials 纳米材料在水处理中的应用、纳米材料的环境、健康影响 Slide 1 of 2 * Biotechnology in Environme
