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.

将举办一次讲习班，讨论妇女今后对生态系统科学领域的贡献。预计今后几年将需要越来越多的合格妇女担任生态系统科学方面的政治和知识领导角色，这主要是因为维持世界自然资源的任务超过了目前可用的人力。虽然进入生态系统科学领域的妇女人数在过去十年中大幅增加，但获得领导职位的妇女人数并没有反映出这种增加。至关重要的是，妇女必须认识到生态系统科学的新方向，并准备在促进科学领导方面发挥更大的作用。这次讲习班的目标是为妇女将来担任这些领导角色做好准备。具体目标是(1)在生态系统科学未来方向的背景下展示当前的研究，(2)告知女性未来的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青年科学家。科罗拉多州立大学的设施绰绰有余，有利于一个有用的研讨会。可以热情地建议按所要求的数额提供资金。
