Workshop: Environmental Information Management and Analysis:Ecosystem to Biosphere Scales, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Fall 1992

该项目是Brunt博士、Michener博士和Stafford博士的联合方案的一部分，将支持计算机科学家、地理信息系统/数据管理专家和环境科学家(大气、海洋和陆地)之间的信息和技术交流研讨会，这些科学家从事科学数据库开发、复杂的长期和广泛区域数据集的管理、以及通过生物圈尺度解决生态系统问题。专题讨论会将围绕四个相关主题举办：(1)生态系统、区域和全球范围的环境研究；(2)大范围研究的科学数据库；(3)数据/信息管理技术方面；(4)大范围空间数据库的管理和分析。已与四个专题领域中每一个领域的若干技术和科学专家进行了接触，并暂时同意参加专题讨论会，并协助专题讨论会组织者确定各自领域的国际公认专家。以这种形式培养的来自广泛学科的科学家之间的知识交流和思想交流，对于开发科学数据库、数据管理和分析工具至关重要，这对于解决各种规模的环境科学家所面临的问题是必要的。将及时出版高质量的会议记录，初步手稿将以电子方式共享。

This project, which is part of a joint package from Drs. Brunt, Michener, and Stafford, will support a symposium for the exchange of information and technology among computer scientists, Geographic Information system/Data Management specialists, and environmental scientist (atmospheric, marine, and terrestrial) engaged in scientific database development, management of complex long-term and broad area data sets, and addressing questions at ecosystem through biosphere scales. The symposium will be organized along four related themes: (1) ecosystem, regional and global scale environmental research; (2) scientific databases for broad scale research; (3) data/information management technical aspects; and (4) management and analysis of broad scale spatial databases. A number to technical and scientific experts involved in each of the four thematic areas have been contacted and tentatively agreed to participate in the symposium and assist the symposium organizers in identifying internationally recognized experts in the respective fields. The knowledge exchange and cross-fertilization of ideas among scientists from a wide spectrum of disciplines fostered in such a form, are essential for the development of the scientific databases, data management, and analytical tools which will be necessary to address the problems facing environmental scientists at a variety of scales. A high quality volume of the proceedings will be produced in a timely fashion and preliminary manuscripts will be shared electronically.
