This one-year project will facilitate international collaboration across boundaries of social and natural sciences by developing a balanced mechanism for research and education that can serve as the basis for an Adriatic Summer Institute on Marine Environmental Complexity. William M. Graham of the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, Alabama, will lead the effort in cooperation with his counterparts, Alenka Malej of the Slovenia National Institute of Biology, Prian, and Adam Benovic of the Croatian Institute for Oceanography and Fisheries, Dubrovnik.The partners will bring together a team of senior and junior U.S., Slovenian and Croatian marine scientists, social scientists, and modeling experts with complementary expertise to: 1) define an effective approach for integrating research and education through regional study of complex marine ecological systems in the northern and southern Adriatic, 2) integrate multinational planning and bring focus to a range of issues related to institute management, participant activities, and associated logistics and 3) identify and secure necessary resources including access to facilities, research sites, and data sets that reflect diverse Adriatic systems. Results are expected to lead to a refined operational framework for a field-based summer institute with a strong educational component. Success should enhance our ability to identify, quantify, and model Adriatic biocomplexity in terms of coupled human and natural systems, with implications for analysis and application to other global sites.This interdisciplinary effort fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling experts in the United States and South Central Europe to combine complementary talents and share research and education resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence. The intended summer institute should have broader impact by introducing U.S. junior researchers to the international community through visits to Slovenian and Croatian marine institutions, mentoring, and direct involvement in transboundary field work and modeling of coupled human and natural systems.

这一为期一年的项目将通过建立一个平衡的研究和教育机制，促进跨越社会科学和自然科学界限的国际合作，该机制可作为亚得里亚海海洋环境复杂性夏季研究所的基础。 William M.亚拉巴马多芬岛海洋实验室的格雷厄姆将与他的同行--斯洛文尼亚国家生物研究所的阿伦卡·马勒和克罗地亚海洋学和渔业研究所的亚当·贝诺维奇合作，领导这项工作。合作伙伴将汇集一个由美国、斯洛文尼亚和克罗地亚的海洋科学家、社会科学家和建模专家，具有互补的专业知识：1）通过对亚得里亚海北方和南方复杂海洋生态系统的区域研究，确定一种有效的方法，将研究和教育结合起来，2）将多国规划结合起来，并将重点放在与研究所管理、参与者活动、和相关的后勤和3）确定和确保必要的资源，包括访问设施，研究网站，并反映不同的亚得里亚海系统的数据集。 预计取得的成果将为一个外地暑期研究所完善业务框架，其中将包含强有力的教育内容。 成功应该提高我们的能力，以识别，量化和模拟亚得里亚海生物复杂性方面的耦合人类和自然系统，这一跨学科的努力实现了促进科学知识的计划目标，使美国和中欧南部的专家能够联合收割机互补人才，并在相互作用强的领域共享研究和教育资源。兴趣和能力。 计划中的暑期研究所应该通过访问斯洛文尼亚和克罗地亚的海洋机构，指导和直接参与跨界实地工作以及人类和自然系统耦合的建模，将美国初级研究人员介绍给国际社会，从而产生更广泛的影响。
