9505332 KELLEY Global change research has highlighted the need for integrated analyses of the complex interactions among different human and natural systems. In order to examine these interactions and to relate fundamental studies to the concept of global sustainability, an intensive summer study will be undertaken in 1996 by the Pacific Basin Study Center of San Francisco State University. The study will bring together international experts in the social and natural sciences as well as policy makers from a number of nations. It will focus on the concept of sustainability, seeking to clarify the nature of interactions among different systems, through an evaluation of rice production. In addition to examining social and economic aspects of rice production, related natural systems like soils and water will be studies. This study will receive major support from the Environmental Protection Agency. This award provides modest support from NSF to assist in planning efforts. This study should provide new insights into the complex dynamics of rice production in the Pacific Basin, thereby advancing understanding of the ways through which environmental and economic sustainability might simultaneously be pursued. This project also provides a mechanism to enhance cooperation between NSF and EPA in the joint pursuit of mutual goals.

小行星9505332 全球变化研究突出表明，需要对不同人类和自然系统之间的复杂相互作用进行综合分析。 为了审查这些相互作用并将基本研究与全球可持续性概念联系起来，弗朗西斯科州立大学太平洋盆地研究中心将于1996年夏季进行一项密集的研究。 这项研究将汇集社会科学和自然科学方面的国际专家以及一些国家的决策者。 它将侧重于可持续性的概念，力求通过对水稻生产的评价，澄清不同系统之间相互作用的性质。 除了研究水稻生产的社会和经济方面外，还将研究土壤和水等相关的自然系统。 这项研究将得到环境保护局的大力支持。 该奖项提供了来自NSF的适度支持，以协助规划工作。 这项研究将为太平洋盆地水稻生产的复杂动态提供新的见解，从而促进对同时追求环境和经济可持续性的方式的理解。 该项目还提供了一种机制，以加强NSF和EPA之间的合作，共同追求共同的目标。
