This Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI), jointly supported by the NSF and the Department of Energy (DOE), will take place in La Serena, Chile, in 2013. Dr. Christopher Scott (University of Arizona) will be joined in the organizing committee by scientists from Chile and the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research. The institute will focus on developing a cadre of multidisciplinary scientists with conceptual understanding, skills and tools to address the inter-linkage of water resources (primarily freshwater) and energy (electrical power and biofuels). Regions experiencing scarcity of freshwater and inadequate availability of energy are especially vulnerable to global change. The interrelationship between water and energy raises challenges for policy and planning. This PASI will provide participants with diagnostic skills and water and energy co-management tools that maintain or increase resource-use productivity while enhancing adaptation outcomes. Foci will be on tailoring new tools such as resource and efficiency inventories, analytical and computational models, and stakeholder engagement methods. The PASI will train young researchers, agency personnel, and non-governmental organization staff. The objectives are to provide participants with diagnostic skills and water and energy co-management tools that maintain or increase resource-use productivity while enhancing adaptation outcomes.This PASI will introduce U.S. students to many important techniques in the above subjects. The PASI will also strengthen a regional knowledge network within the Americas for the inclusion of adaptive management principles in water and energy decision-making. Participants will gain hands-on experience working with models in interaction with decision-makers.

由NSF和能源部（DOE）共同支持的这项泛美高级研究机构（PASI）将于2013年在智利的La Serena举行。克里斯托弗·斯科特（Christopher Scott）（亚利桑那州）博士将由智利科学家和智利的全球全球变革研究所的组织委员会加入组织委员会。 该研究所将专注于开发众多的多学科科学家，并具有概念性的理解，技能和工具，以解决水资源之间的联系（主要是淡水）和能源（电力和生物燃料）。 淡水缺乏稀缺和能源供应不足的地区尤其容易受到全球变化的影响。 水与能源之间的相互关系引发了政策和计划的挑战。 该PASI将为参与者提供诊断技能，水和能源共同管理工具，以维持或提高资源使用生产力，同时增强适应性结果。 FOCI将旨在调整新工具，例如资源和效率清单，分析和计算模型以及利益相关者参与方法。 PASI将培训年轻的研究人员，代理人员和非政府组织的工作人员。 这些目标是为参与者提供诊断技能，水和能源共同管理工具，以维持或提高资源利用生产率，同时提高适应性成果。此PASI将向美国学生介绍上述主题中的许多重要技术。 PASI还将加强美洲境内的区域知识网络，以包括水和能源决策中的自适应管理原则。 参与者将获得与决策者互动模型的实践经验。
