0221350SwapThis award supports 15 African participants in a US-Southern Africa Workshop on "Synthesis of SAFARI 2000 - Implications for Local and Regional Science and Policy," scheduled for October 8-13, 2002, in Charlottesville, Virginia. The co-organizers are Professor Robert Swap, with the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia, and Professor Harold Annegarn, with the Atmosphere and Energy Group at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. There will be a total of about 150 participants, approximately one third of whom will come from US academic institutions, one third from various countries in Southern Africa, and the remainder from governmental, nongovernmental and international organizations. This workshop will enable the researchers to synthesize and interpret valuable information from the Southern African Regional Science Initiative (known as SAFARI 2000), and to also plan the next phase of regional environmental research. It is expected that this meeting will lead to the development of collaborative, interdisciplinary research and education projects.SAFARI 2000 was an international science project to investigate the linkages across time and space scales between Southern Africa's terrestrial, atmospheric, and biogeochemical processes, and their impacts on regional and global environmental change. The project involved nearly 300 participants from 18 different countries. This workshop will enable participants, some of whom are US and African students and junior investigators, to review the current state of understanding about and missing information on land-atmosphere-biosphere interactions concerning Southern Africa, and explore emerging areas of cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary research that will advance the knowledge on the natural functioning of Southern Africa's ecosystems. They will also participate in the process for translating the research results into a format that is relevant to society. A synthesis of the results of SAFARI 2000 will be produced in a workshop report, thus providing valuable new information to the international global environmental change community, as well as to local and regional policy makers. Results will also be disseminated through professional journal articles and via a web site.The Office of International Science and Engineering, the Division of Atmospheric Sciences, and the Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences jointly support this award.

0221350 Swap该奖项资助15名非洲人参加定于2002年10月8日至13日在弗吉尼亚州夏洛茨维尔举行的关于“SAFARI 2000的综合-对地方和区域科学与政策的影响”的美国-南部非洲讲习班。 共同组织者是弗吉尼亚大学环境科学系的Robert Swap教授和南非威特沃特斯兰德大学大气和能源小组的Harold Annegarn教授。 共有约150名与会者，其中约三分之一来自美国学术机构，三分之一来自南部非洲各国，其余来自政府、非政府组织和国际组织。 该讲习班将使研究人员能够综合和解释南部非洲区域科学倡议（称为SAFARI 2000）的宝贵信息，并规划下一阶段的区域环境研究。 2000年非洲野生动植物资源研究所是一个国际科学项目，目的是调查南部非洲陆地、大气和生物地球化学过程之间在时间和空间尺度上的联系及其对区域和全球环境变化的影响。 该项目有来自18个不同国家的近300名参与者。 该研讨会将使与会者，其中一些是美国和非洲的学生和初级研究人员，审查目前对南部非洲土地-大气-生物圈相互作用的了解和缺失信息的状况，并探索跨学科和跨学科研究的新兴领域，这将促进对南部非洲生态系统自然功能的了解。 他们还将参与将研究成果转化为与社会相关的格式的过程。 将在一份讲习班报告中综合介绍2000年非洲森林研究所的成果，从而向国际全球环境变化界以及地方和区域决策者提供宝贵的新资料。 研究结果还将通过专业期刊文章和网站进行传播。国际科学和工程办公室、大气科学司以及行为和认知科学司共同支持这一奖项。
