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.

该项目将支持举办关于分析人与自然相互作用的综合区域模型(IRM)讲习班。综合区域模型是概念性的和基于数学的模型，在模型结构中包括对物理环境、生物相互作用和人类决策及其后果的数学描述。尽管人们对“全球”变化感到担忧，但环境中的许多关键科学和政策问题都是在区域范围内--地方司法管辖区、流域、农业生产区域--制定、考虑并最终实施的。在这些尺度上，物理、生物和社会系统的区域相互作用在确定必须解决的问题方面发挥了关键作用。需要综合分析的环境问题包括海岸带管理、区域大气化学和污染、非点源污染、森林景观中的商品生产和城市发展。由于学科之间缺乏相互作用、技术方法的差异以及缺乏适当的跨学科数据集，物理、生物和社会科学耦合模型的进展一直受到限制。讲习班的目的将是为来自不同学科的科学家提供一个论坛，以了解其他学科的知识和模型的状况，并探索来自不同学科的科学家在同一问题上合作的方式。此外，研讨会将确定制定针对具体环境问题的综合风险管理所需的具体步骤和数据要求。研讨会将以来自各学科内外的科学家对物理、生物和社会科学模型的配对概述开始。然后，研讨会将分组讨论需要进行综合信息管理的具体问题，最后分组讨论特定地区，以及不同地区的物理、生物和社会变量的差异将如何影响综合信息管理的发展。研讨会参与者将平均分配到物理、社会、生物和综合学科，并将包括来自几个国家的科学家。
