BE/CNH: Biocomplexity At The Land-Water Interface: Enhancing Interdisciplinary Understanding And Networking Among Recent Graduates

由于陆地-水界面生态系统的敏感性，以及我们对它们的依赖，我们越来越迫切地需要了解它们是如何运行的，并对它们进行明智的管理。这将需要物理、社会和自然科学家、数学家和模型师的共同努力。然而，研究生并没有接受过跨学科互动的培训。为了增加研究生培训的广度，这个项目将把社会科学和自然科学领域的老牌领导者和新近毕业的学生聚集在一起，设计一个顶峰教育计划。该教育计划的目标是使毕业生更好地为跨学科的职业生涯做好准备，这些职业致力于理解、预测和管理陆地-水界面的环境和资源。召集小组的建议将被用来制定一个示范计划，以加强跨学科的理解、领导力培训和网络联系。

Due to the sensitivity of ecosystems at the land-water interface and our dependence on them, it is increasingly imperative that we understand how they function and manage them wisely. This will require the combined efforts of physical, social and natural scientists, mathematicians, and modelers. Yet graduate students are not trained to interact across these disciplines. To add breadth to graduate training, this project will bring together established leaders in the social and natural sciences and recent graduates to design a capstone educational program. The objective of the educational program is to better prepare graduates for interdisciplinary careers dedicated to understanding, prediction and management of environments and resources at the land-water interface. The recommendations of the assembled group will be used to develop a model program to enhance interdisciplinary understanding, leadership training and networking.
