U.S.Panama Workshop Charting Future

项目摘要

This U.S.-Panama award provides funding for U.S. participation in a planning workshop that will take place in Panama City in January, 2012 to chart the future of Environmental Studies at the Liquid Jungle Laboratory (LJL). This award will enable approximately 10 U.S. researchers to attend the workshop, together with an equivalent number of Latin American and European participants. The goal of the workshop is to discuss options and plan future strategy and programs to support sustained research and education at LJL. The Laboratory is in an especially attractive region for integrated tropical research due to an extraordinary combination of natural geographic settings (terrestrial, coastal, and oceanographic) and strong bimodal (wet-dry) seasonality. The U.S. participants are associated with institutions such as the Woods Hole Consortium, Roger Williams University, Conservation International, and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI). Foreign participants are expected from the University of Panama, University of Costa Rica, the Natural Environmental Authority in Panama, the Catholic University of Chile, and research universities and agencies in Spain.Among the results of this workshop is expected to be a series of planned major activities that should enhance the long-term research and education goals of the Liquid Jungle Laboratory. Having a site to study and evaluate changes in diversity that result from climate change in a tropical system is highly desirable. The education and training opportunities for junior researchers at such a site would be significant and would satisfy a major goal of the Office of International Science and Engineering, to provide young scientists with opportunities to conduct research in an international setting.This award is funded by Americas Program in the Office of International Science and Engineering.

这项美国 - 潘纳马奖为美国参加计划研讨会的资金提供了资金，该计划将于2012年1月在巴拿马城举行，以绘制液体丛林实验室（LJL）环境研究的未来。该奖项将使大约10名美国研究人员能够参加该研讨会，并等同数量的拉丁美洲和欧洲参与者。研讨会的目的是讨论选项并计划未来的战略和计划，以支持LJL持续的研究和教育。由于自然地理环境（陆地，沿海和海洋学）和强大的双峰（湿干）季节性的非凡组合，该实验室在热带研究中特别有吸引力的热带研究。美国的参与者与伍兹洞联盟，罗杰·威廉姆斯大学，国际保护国际和史密森尼热带研究所（Stri）等机构有关。期望外国参与者来自巴拿马大学，哥斯达黎加大学，巴拿马的自然环境管理，智利天主教大学以及西班牙的研究大学和机构。该研讨会的结果预计将是一系列计划的应增强液体丛林实验室的长期研究和教育目标的主要活动。非常需要研究和评估热带气候变化导致的多样性变化。该站点的初级研究人员的教育和培训机会将是重要的，并且将满足国际科学与工程办公室的主要目标，以为年轻科学家提供在国际环境中进行研究的机会。该奖项由美洲资助国际科学与工程办公室的计划。
