USA PUB Workshop

国际水文科学协会(IAHS)发起的国际水文科学协会(IAHS)水文科学十年(PUB)旨在制定和实施适当的科学计划，以协调一致的方式让科学界参与并激励科学界，以期在对未测量流域做出可靠预测的能力方面取得重大进展。经过两年的努力，酒吧参与者已经定义了一系列水文学中的社区科学问题，并获得了广泛的共识和社区的认可。随着大学水文科学促进联盟(CUAHSI)开始建立社区科学问题，从酒吧的经历中可以学到很多东西--有好的，也有坏的。PUB的例子为美国CUAHSI社区提供了一个潜在的模板。这项提议要求美国国家科学基金会提供资金，以支持为期四天的研讨会的准备和实施，以催化美国水文界确定社区科学问题。研讨会的目标是：1)向美国水文界介绍公共科学过程；2)探索六个主要公共科学主题作为美国社区科学问题的适当模板的用途；3)批判性地讨论与建立水文学观测站有关的水文学开放问题；以及4)引发参与者之间的对话，以确定有效发展社区科学问题的最有前途的途径。研讨会将由美国S水文科学界的领导人召开，30多名在各自领域公认的专家将进行专题演讲。该工作坊将是与加州大学伯克利分校新成立的国家水文合成中心合作开展的首批研讨会之一。研讨会将采用以实质性讨论为特色的AGU Chapman会议风格，以促进与会者与演讲者和听众进行高水平的深思熟虑的互动。研讨会？S的学术价值来自于美国水文学家显然需要分享经验，辩论方法，并就新的科学计划达成共识，该计划体现了对多学科方法的日益增长的需求，以促进水文学科学的发展。研讨会？？S-研讨会研讨会将有助于确定新的研究轨迹，使水资源决策能够以更大的决心、更及时的方式和更大的信心做出。

0549059McDonnellThe IAHS Decade on Predictions in Ungauged Basins (PUB) is an initiative of theInternational Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) aimed at formulating andimplementing appropriate science programs to engage and energize the scientific community,in a coordinated manner, towards achieving major advances in the capacity to make reliablepredictions in ungauged basins. Now two years into the effort, PUB participants havedefined a set of community science questions in the hydrological sciences with broadconsensus and community buy-in.As the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI)begins its community science question-building effort, there is much that can be learnedfrom the PUB experience?both good and bad. The PUB example provides a potential templatefor the USA CUAHSI community.This proposal requests NSF funding to support the preparation and implementation of afour-day workshop to catalyse the identification of community science questions by the USAhydrologic community. Workshop goals are: 1) introduce PUB science processes to the USAhydrological community; 2) explore the utility of six major PUB science themes as apotential template for USA community science questions; 3) critically discuss the openquestions in hydrology as they pertain to the establishment of hydrologic observatories;and, 4) spark dialogue among participants to identify the most promising avenues for theefficient development of community science questions.The workshop will be convened by leaders of the USA?s hydrologic science community andfeature presentations by over 30 experts widely recognized in their fields. The workshopwill be among the first to be conducted in association with the newly established NationalCenter for Hydrologic Synthesis at the University of California, Berkeley. The workshopwill employ the AGU Chapman Conference style that features substantial discussion ?space?to facilitate a high level of thoughtful participant interactions with speakers and eachother.The workshop?s intellectual merit derives from the clear need for USA hydrologists toshare experiences, debate approaches, and reach consensus on a new science plan thatembodies a response to the growing demand for multidisciplinary approaches to advance thescience of hydrology. The workshop?s nationally- and internationally-recognized speakerswill deliver compelling content over a broad range of hydrologic topics toparticipants?all within a format designed to challenge assumptions, optimize debate, andinform agreement.The broader implications of the workshop reach to society?s ability to access, understand,and act upon improved prediction capacities resulting from a new, more holistic, andeffective orchestration of hydrologic inquiry. The workshop will help define a newtrajectory of research that will allow water resources decisions to be made with greaterresolution, in a more timely manner, and with substantially more confidence.
