Workshop on Linking Ecological Biology and GeoscienceBasic environmental science increasingly depends on collaborations among biologistsand geoscientists. We propose to bring together 35 leading scientists to explore how topromote interdisciplinary research across the interface of ecological biology andgeological science. During a two-day meeting at the annual Ecological Society ofAmerica (ESA) meetings, we will address questions about intellectual opportunities,needs for unified synthetic models, and how best to support and fund such researchinteractions. A central goal is to engage the broader community of scientists within theESA, in a manner similar to what is taking place in the American Geophysical Union(AGU). The final product of this workshop will be a "white paper" report that addressesthe prospects and challenges for disciplinary convergence between ecosystem biologyand the geosciences. We will also submit summaries of the meeting to the ESA bulletin,EOS, the Geological Society of America (GSA), and appropriate journals such as Natureand Science.

生态生物学与地球科学联系研讨会基础环境科学越来越依赖于生物学家和地球科学家之间的合作。我们建议将35位顶尖科学家聚集在一起，探讨如何促进跨生态生物学和地质科学界面的跨学科研究。在为期两天的美国生态学会（ESA）年会上，我们将讨论有关知识机会、统一合成模型的需求以及如何最好地支持和资助这种研究互动的问题。一个中心目标是以类似于美国地球物理联合会（AGU）的方式，让欧空局内更广泛的科学家群体参与进来。本次研讨会的最终成果将是一份“白色文件”报告，该报告阐述了生态系统生物学和地球科学之间学科融合的前景和挑战。我们还将向欧空局公报、地球观测系统、美国地质学会（GSA）和适当的期刊（如《自然》和《科学》）提交会议摘要。
