Training Environmental Science Linking Basic

项目摘要

The next generation of ecologists and organismal biologists will be called upon to link their basic-science focus with other skills necessary to solve major environmental and social problems. These skills--in public policy, environmental law, management, and scientific communication-- are severely lacking in our current graduate training. We propose a cross-disciplinary training program that will provide students with a rigorous introduction to the methods of environmental science and exposure to the tools necessary to apply the fruits of their research to attack major social and environmental issues. Before initiating their diqsertation research, students will complete a two year curriculum consisting of new lecture, seminar and field courses. Field and management courses will draw on personnel and resources of the Conservation Research Center of the Smithsonian Institution. Seminar courses on scientific communication, current environmental issues, and environmental law and policy will draw on faculty from other graduate schools at the University of Pennsylvania and other professionals actively involved with these issues. These courses, together with basic science research will provide trainees with exposure to the methods needed to affect scientific and social solutions to environmental problems.

下一代的生态学家和有机生物学家将被要求将他们的基础科学重点与解决重大环境和社会问题所需的其他技能联系起来。这些技能-在公共政策，环境法，管理和科学交流-是严重缺乏我们目前的研究生培训。我们提出了一个跨学科的培训计划，将为学生提供一个严格的介绍环境科学的方法，并接触到必要的工具，应用他们的研究成果，以攻击重大的社会和环境问题。在开始他们的diqsertation研究之前，学生将完成为期两年的课程，包括新的讲座，研讨会和实地课程。实地和管理课程将利用史密森学会保护研究中心的人员和资源。关于科学传播，当前环境问题，环境法律和政策的研讨会课程将借鉴宾夕法尼亚大学其他研究生院的教师和积极参与这些问题的其他专业人员。这些课程，加上基础科学研究，将使受训者接触到影响环境问题的科学和社会解决办法所需的方法。
