This project will support a workshop on Integrated Regional Models (IRM) for analysis of human-nature interactions. Integrated regional models are conceptual and mathematically based models that include within the structure of the model mathematical descriptions of the physical environment, biological interactions, and human decision making and its consequences. Despite concerns about "global" change, many key scientific and policy issues in the environment are developed, considered and ultimately implemented on regional scales - local jurisdictions, watersheds, agricultural production regions. At these scales, regional interactions of physical, biological and social systems play a critical role in defining the problems that must be resolved. Environmental issues which require an integrated analysis include coastal zone management, regional atmospheric chemistry and pollution, non-point source pollution, commodity production in forested landscapes, and urban growth. Progress on coupling models from physical, biological and social sciences has been limited by lack of interactions between disciplines, differences in technical approaches, and the absence of appropriate interdisciplinary data sets. The objective of the workshop will be to provide a forum for scientists from different disciplines to learn about the state of knowledge and models in other disciplines, and to explore ways that scientists from different disciplines can work together on the same problems. Further, the workshop will identify specific steps and data requirements necessary for the development of IRM's for specific environmental problems. The workshop will open with paired overviews of physical, biological and social science models by scientists from both within and outside of each discipline. The workshop will then move on to group discussions of specific problems requiring IRM's, and finally to group discussions of specific regions and how differences in physical, biological and social variables in different regions will affect the development of IRM's. Workshop participants will be evenly divided between physical, social, biological and integrative disciplines, and will include scientists from several countries.

该项目将支持有关综合区域模型（IRM）的研讨会，以分析人类互动。 集成区域模型是概念性和数学上的模型，其中包括在物理环境的数学描述，生物学相互作用以及人类决策及其后果的结构中。 尽管对“全球”变化感到担忧，但环境中的许多关键科学和政策问题仍在区域范围内开发，考虑并最终实施 - 地方司法管辖区，流域，农业生产地区。 在这些量表中，物理，生物学和社会系统的区域相互作用在定义必须解决的问题方面起着关键作用。 需要进行综合分析的环境问题包括沿海地区管理，区域大气化学和污染，非点源污染，森林景观中的商品生产以及城市增长。 从学科之间缺乏相互作用，技术方法差异以及缺乏适当的跨学科数据集的相互作用，从物理，生物学和社会科学的耦合模型上的进展受到了限制。 研讨会的目的是为来自不同学科的科学家提供一个论坛，以了解其他学科中的知识和模型的状态，并探索来自不同学科的科学家可以在相同问题上共同工作的方式。 此外，研讨会将确定针对特定环境问题开发IRM所需的特定步骤和数据要求。 该研讨会将通过来自每个学科的内部和外部的科学家的物理，生物学和社会科学模型的配对概述。 然后，研讨会将继续讨论需要IRM的特定问题，最后是针对特定地区的讨论以及不同地区的物理，生物学和社会变量差异如何影响IRM的发展。 研讨会的参与者将在身体，社会，生物学和综合学科之间均匀分配，并将包括来自几个国家的科学家。
