ABSTRACTOJIMA NSF#0729010This award supports the U.S. PI, Dr. Dennis Ojima, Senior Research Scientist at the Natural Resources Ecology Laboratory (NREL) at Colorado State University, the Co-PI, Dr. Jiaguo Qi, Director of the Center for Global Change and Earth Observations at Michigan State University, and thirteen U.S. scientists representing 8 additional universities, to organize an interdisciplinary joint workshop with Chinese counterparts on environmental issues in dryland areas. The Eurasia-USA Workshop on Environmental Issues in Drylands will be held in Urumqi, China, September 14-22, 2007 and lead to advanced understanding of the drivers of environmental change in dryland areas of Eurasia, deepen U.S. understanding of relevant research strengths of the Chinese participants, and explore the potential role of satellite data in monitoring and modeling of climate change in drylands environment. The counterpart host is Professor LIU, Jiyuan, Institute of Geographical Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing. The proposed workshop takes an interdisciplinary, multi-institutional approach and offers straightforward and important objectives for increasing our understanding of fundamental climate change issues. The workshop includes 5 early career scientists, and two representatives from primarily undergraduate serving institutions. The workshop will benefit from the presence of five U.S. government agency representatives implicated by the topic, who will attend with their own funding. An equivalent number of Chinese scientists are invited, including two experts from Uzbekistan.

本奖项支持美国主要研究者、科罗拉多州立大学自然资源生态学实验室（NREL）高级研究科学家Dennis Ojima博士、共同主要研究者、密歇根州立大学全球变化和地球观测中心主任齐家国博士以及代表另外8所大学的13名美国科学家，与中国同行组织一次关于干旱地区环境问题的跨学科联合讲习班。 欧亚-美国旱地环境问题研讨会将于2007年9月14日至22日在中国乌鲁木齐举行，促进对欧亚旱地环境变化驱动因素的深入了解，加深美国对中国与会者相关研究实力的了解，并探讨卫星数据在旱地环境气候变化监测和建模方面的潜在作用。 中国科学院地理科学与资源研究所刘继元教授主持了本次会议。 拟议的研讨会采取跨学科、多机构的办法，为增进我们对基本气候变化问题的了解提出了直接和重要的目标。 研讨会包括5个早期职业科学家，和两个代表主要是本科服务机构。 研讨会将受益于五个美国政府机构代表的出席，他们将参加自己的资金。 邀请了同等数量的中国科学家，包括两名乌兹别克斯坦专家。
