U.S.-China Workshop on Bioenergy Consequences of Global Environmental Change

庄洁中国-美国全球环境变化的生物能源后果研讨会该奖项支持田纳西大学诺克斯维尔分校(UTK)于2008年秋季在北京召开研讨会并计划访问，以围绕生物能源作物的可持续生产、土地利用变化、碳固存、水资源和生态恢复等多学科主题开展研究合作。美国PIE是UTK安全与可持续环境研究所(ISSE)助理研究教授庄杰博士。中国同行是中国科学院地理科学与自然资源研究所(IGSNRR)教授于桂瑞博士和中国科学院生态环境科学研究中心(RCEES)教授姜贵斌博士，两人都位于北京。拟议的研讨会是在2007年9月的研讨会之后举行的，以及在中国-美国驻东京大学生态系统和环境变化联合研究中心的赞助下，联合王国政府、政府间地球科学研究中心和区域环境经济研究中心之间新建立的伙伴关系。联合讲习班预计将促进伙伴机构之间在生态系统进程和管理、生物能源生产的环境可持续性、水资源的生态基础以及改善生态环境系统的技术方面建立新的研究关系。除了研究，研讨会预计还将推动建立一种机制，让学生和初级研究人员参与跨文化的国际研究，解决生物能源和环境变化问题。除了UTK，研讨会还包括来自达特茅斯、普渡、亨氏科学、经济和环境中心以及橡树岭国家实验室的美国代表。研讨会包括五名有相关研究兴趣的研究生。

ABSTRACT0757267 ZHUANG, Jie, China-U.S. Workshop on Bioenergy Consequences of Global Environmental Change This award supports the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) to convene a workshop and planning visit to be held in the fall of 2008 in Beijing in order to develop research collaborations around the multi-disciplinary themes of sustainable production of bioenergy crops, land-use change, carbon sequestration, water resources and ecological restoration. The U.S. PI is Dr. Jie Zhuang, Assistant Research Professor in the Institute for a Secure and Sustainable Environment (ISSE) at UTK. The Chinese counterparts are Dr. YU, Guirui, Professor at the Institute of Geographical Sciences and Natural Resources Research (IGSNRR), Chinese Academy of Sciences and Dr. JIANG, Guibin, Professor at the Research Center for Eco-environmental Sciences (RCEES) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, both located in Beijing. The proposed workshop follows a September 2007 workshop and a newly formed partnership between the UTK, IGSNRR and RCEES under the auspices of the China-U.S. Joint Research Center for Ecosystem and Environmental Change at UTK. The joint workshop is expected to catalyze new research relationships among partner institutes on ecosystem processes and management, environmental sustainability of bioenergy production, ecological foundations of water resources, and technologies for improvement of eco-environmental systems. In addition to research, the workshop is expected to spur the establishment of a mechanism to bring students and junior researchers into cross-cultural, international research addressing bioenergy and environmental change. Other than UTK, the workshop includes a mix of U.S. representatives from Dartmouth, Purdue, the Heinz Center for Science, Economics and the Environment, and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The workshop includes five graduate students with related research interests.
