First IASI Research Planning Conference

9815513利曼基金是为“美洲内部海洋科学倡议”的国际研究规划讲习班提供便利的，其目的是促进对加勒比海（以及延伸到墨西哥湾）美洲内部海洋复杂环境问题的科学了解。IASI内部发展了四个主要主题：1)IAS中的海陆空相互作用；2)幼虫招募途径、成虫生产力、生物-物理联系及其对IAS渔业的影响；3)沿海环境与资源的互联性与可持续性；(4)国际空间站区域全球观测系统。研究规划研讨会将制定一套研究计划，以解决这些主题领域的科学问题，并将汇集美国和外国研究机构及支持机构的代表，协调该地区未来的努力。

9815513 Leaman Funds are provided to facilitate an international research planning workshop for the "Intra-Americas Sea Science Initiative (IASI), the purpose of which is to advance scientific understanding of complex environmental problems in the Intra-Americas Sea (IAS) of the Caribbean Sea (and by extension the Gulf of Mexico). Four principal themes have been developed within IASI: 1) Air-Sea-Land Interactions in the IAS; 2) Larval Recruitment Pathways, Adult Productivity, Biological-Physical Linkages and Their Influences on IAS Fisheries; 3) Interconnections and Sustainability of Coastal Environments and Resources; 4) A Regional Global Observing System for the IAS. The research planning workshop will produce a set of research plans to address scientific problems in these theme areas, and it will bring together representatives from U.S. and foreign research institutions and support agencies to coordinate future efforts in the region.
