Workshop on Integrated Assessment; Washington, DC; July 9-11, 1998

abler, Ronald f .美国地理学会：综合评估研讨会，1998年7月9-11日；美国地理学家协会（AAG）将于7月9日至11日在华盛顿特区组织并主办一个约有100名参与者的综合评估（IA）研讨会，以突出与综合评估领域相关的研究进展；O让相关科学界的研究人员参与讨论综合评估在全球变化中的作用和基础科学探究的其他主题；讨论综合评估在实现美国全球变化研究计划（USGCRP）目标中的作用；安藤就联邦在综合评估和相关领域的研究投资的未来征求科学界的建议。研讨会将帮助回答与IA研究的未来方向相关的问题，以及它在帮助实现USGCRP目标方面的明确作用。会议将通过召集参与usgcrp赞助的IA研究的研究人员和科学家、联邦科学家和项目经理以及在相关专业工作的科学界成员来满足这一需求。讲习班是重要的，特别是考虑到过去联邦对综合评估研究的赞助，以及需要更精确地确定综合评估在联邦投资组合中的作用。对于USGCRP来说，这次研讨会将特别有价值，它现在在进行与全球环境变化有关的评估方面发挥着直接的作用

AbstractATM-9814002Abler, Ronald F.Association of American GeographersTitle: Workshop on Integrated Assessment, July 9-11, 1998; Washington D.C.The Association of American Geographers (AAG) will organize and host a workshop of approximately one hundred participants on Integrated Assessment (IA) in Washington, D.C. on 9-11 July to: o highlight research progress related to the field Integrated Assessment;o involve researchers from related scientific communities in discussions of the role of integrated assessment in global change and other topics of basic science inquiry;o discuss the role of integrated assessment in meeting the goals of the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP); ando solicit recommendations from the scientific community on the future of federal research investments in integrated assessment and related fields.The workshop will help answer questions related to future directions for IA research and its explicit role in helping to meet USGCRP goals. The meeting will meet that need by drawing together researchers and scientists who have been involved in USGCRP-sponsored IA research, federal scientists and program managers, and members of the scientific community working in related specialties. The workshop is important, especially given past federal sponsorship of Integrated Assessment research and the need to define more precisely a role for Integrated Assessment in the federal investment portfolio. The workshop will be especially valuable for the USGCRP, which now plays a direct role its role in conducting assessments related to global environmental changes
