Hawaii-Fiji collaboration: workshop on social-ecological resiliency to climate change, preliminary data collection, and methods trainingPeople who live on small islands are involved in tight feedback loops that make them acutely aware of how anthropogenic and natural influences affect their resources. Pacific Islanders have developed traditional ecological knowledge and resource management systems to deal with high levels of environmental uncertainty and resource scarcity, and may be able to teach us important lessons about adaptive capacity and resilience in coupled human and natural systems. A cross-disciplinary team of researchers from the University of Hawai?i(USA) and the University of the South Pacific (Fiji) will hold a planning workshop, teach a short training course in social-ecological methods and approaches to studying resilience in coupled human natural systems, collect baseline data, and develop a collaboration that has the capacity to test if and under what conditions traditional ecological knowledge and traditional resource management can enhance adaptation and resilience to climate change in the Pacific Islands. This project builds capacity in research and education. It provides cross-disciplinary training for undergraduate and graduate students and an international research experience that can lead to longer term collaborations. By targeting Pacific Islanders in recruitment, this initiative will broaden the participation of an under-represented group. In establishing a collaboration among US researchers from different disciplines (social and natural sciences, marine and terrestrial spheres), and between US and Fijian researchers with complimentary expertise, this project develops a network that has the capacity to address complex issues that can contribute to policy for improving strategies for resilience and adaptation to climate change.

夏威夷-斐济合作：气候变化社会生态弹性研讨会、初步数据收集和方法培训生活在小岛上的人们参与紧密的反馈循环，使他们敏锐地意识到人为和自然影响如何影响他们的资源。太平洋岛民开发了传统的生态知识和资源管理系统来应对高度的环境不确定性和资源稀缺性，并且可能能够向我们传授有关人类和自然系统耦合的适应能力和复原力的重要教训。来自夏威夷大学（美国）和南太平洋大学（斐济）的跨学科研究团队将举办规划研讨会，教授社会生态方法和研究耦合弹性的方法的短期培训课程人类自然系统，收集基线数据，并开展合作，以测试传统生态知识和传统资源管理是否以及在什么条件下可以增强太平洋岛屿对气候变化的适应和恢复力。该项目建设研究和教育能力。它为本科生和研究生提供跨学科培训以及可以带来长期合作的国际研究经验。通过针对太平洋岛民进行招募，该举措将扩大代表性不足群体的参与范围。 通过在来自不同学科（社会和自然科学、海洋和陆地领域）的美国研究人员之间以及具有互补专业知识的美国和斐济研究人员之间建立合作，该项目开发了一个网络，该网络有能力解决有助于政策制定的复杂问题改进抵御和适应气候变化的战略。
