Ecology, the science of the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings, and its relevance to society are in a period of rapid change. As a society, we are becoming increasingly globalized, while at the same time facing a growing number of environmental challenges, many of which are international in scope and extent. At the same time, our ability to measure and monitor the world around us has changed dramatically, both through technology development, such as remote sensing, automated instrumentation and high-throughput DNA sequencing, and through the establishment of both top-down observatories and bottom-up research networks. Data is more open and interconnected and these changes are fundamentally shifting the questions we can address in ecological science. The time is ripe to shift from conception to actively building international research collaborations that span international boundaries, ecological scale and observation systems. A workshop will be held in Arizona during February to bring together world leaders from the US, Canada, Australia, Mexico and South Africa in large scale ecological science. The workshop will investigate three major themes: 1) From data networks to knowledge networks, 2) ecological forecasting, and 3) training, education and outreach.

生态学，生物关系的科学彼此及其物理环境以及它与社会的相关性正处于迅速变化的时期。作为一个社会，我们变得越来越全球化，同时面临着越来越多的环境挑战，其中许多在范围和程度上都是国际性的。同时，我们通过技术开发（例如遥感，自动化的仪器和高通量DNA测序）以及通过建立自上而下的观测站和自下而上的研究网络来衡量和监测周围世界的能力发生了巨大变化。数据更加开放和相互联系，这些变化从根本上转移了我们在生态科学中可以解决的问题。从构想转向积极建立跨越国际边界，生态规模和观察系统的国际研究合作的时机已经成熟。 2月，将在亚利桑那州举行一个研讨会，以大规模生态科学将来自美国，加拿大，澳大利亚，墨西哥和南非的世界领导人聚集在一起。研讨会将调查三个主要主题：1）从数据网络到知识网络，2）生态预测以及3）培训，教育和外展。
