Workshop on "Women's Contributions to Future Directions of Ecosystem Science"; May 23-25, 1988; Pingree Park, Co.

将举办一个讲习班，讨论妇女今后对 生态系统科学领域。 据预测， 政治领域需要更多的合格妇女， 在生态系统科学中的知识领导作用， 未来几年，主要是因为维持 世界上的自然资源比现有的要多。 人手 虽然进入该领域的妇女人数 生态系统科学在过去的十年里有了很大的发展， 多年来，获得领导职位的妇女人数确实 没有反映出这种增长。 至关重要的是， 认识到生态系统科学的新方向， 他们准备承担更大的作用， 科学领导力。 本次研讨会的目的是准备 这些未来的领导角色。 具体目标是 (1)在未来的背景下介绍当前的研究 生态系统科学的方向，（2）让妇女了解未来 研究方向和资助机会;（3）促进 女性生态学家之间的交流。 这项工作的组织者是优秀的年轻科学家。 科罗拉多州立大学的设施超过 这是有益的，并有助于一个有益的工作坊。 所要求的水平的资金可以热情地 推荐

A workshop will be conducted on future contributions of women to the field of ecosystem science. It is anticipated that ever greater numbers of qualified women will be required in political and intellectual leadership roles in ecosystem science over the coming years, primarily because the task of sustaining the world's natural resources is greater than the currently available manpower. While the number of women entering the field of ecosystem science has increased substantially over the past ten years, the number of women attaining leadership positions does not reflect this increase. It is critically important that women be cognizant of new directions in ecosystem sciences and that they be prepared to assume a greater role in contributing to scientific leadership. The goal of this workshop is to prepare women for these future leadership roles. Specific objectives are (1) to present current research in the context of future directions of ecosystem science, (2) to inform women about future research directions and funding opportunities, and (3) to foster communication among women ecologists. The organizers for this effort are excellent young scientists. The facilities of Colorado State University are more than adequate and are conducive to a useful workshop. Funding at the level requested can be enthusiastically recommended.
