This award supports development of a graduate level course with an overall objective of engaging interdisciplinary discourse in modeling aquatic ecosystems. The successful workshop implementation will result in materials that can be distributed as a collection via an internet website so that instructors who wish to teach this course at any institution for higher learning will have background materials and a recommended curriculum. Interdisciplinary modeling is a useful approach for managing and understanding aquatic ecosystems, but there are several impediments to the implementation of successful interdisciplinary modeling of aquatic ecosystems, including (1) different spatial and temporal scales that specific disciplines are concerned with; (2) differences in degrees of uncertainty of data and models; (3) lack of awareness of what modeling options are available in an interdisciplinary sense; (4) difficulties in communication between disciplines, where different terminology and perspectives can get in the way of discussing common issues or concerns; and (5) scientists and modelers need to be educated and trained about interdisciplinary approaches. The course will provide students with enhanced knowledge about the availability of models for aquatic ecosystems in different disciplines, how such models might be applied together to address aquatic ecosystem issues, and the experience of working in interdisciplinary teams to apply interdisciplinary modeling approaches to increase knowledge about aquatic ecosystems. These students will then be better-prepared for professional or academic careers in which they interact with peers from other disciplines to address real-world aquatic ecosystem issues.

该奖项支持研究生水平课程的开发，总体目标是在水生生态系统建模中参与跨学科讨论。 研讨会的成功实施将产生可以通过互联网网站作为集合分发的材料，以便希望在任何高等教育机构教授这门课程的教师可以获得背景材料和推荐的课程。 跨学科建模是管理和理解水生生态系统的有用方法，但成功实施水生生态系统跨学科建模存在一些障碍，包括（1）特定学科关注的不同时空尺度； (2)数据和模型的不确定性程度差异； (3) 缺乏对跨学科意义上可用的建模选项的认识； (4) 学科之间沟通困难，不同的术语和观点可能妨碍讨论共同的问题或关注点； (5) 科学家和建模者需要接受跨学科方法的教育和培训。 该课程将为学生提供有关不同学科水生生态系统模型可用性的更多知识，如何将这些模型一起应用来解决水生生态系统问题，以及在跨学科团队中应用跨学科建模方法来增加有关水生生态系统的知识的经验。 这些学生将为职业或学术生涯做好更好的准备，在其中与其他学科的同行互动，解决现实世界的水生生态系统问题。
