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

摘要0757267庄杰，中美；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进行访问，以围绕生物能源作物的可持续生产、土地利用变化、碳封存、水资源和生态恢复等多学科主题开展研究合作。美国首席研究员庄杰博士是UTK安全与可持续环境研究所（ISSE）的助理研究教授。中国同行是位于北京的中国科学院地理科学与资源研究所（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）教授蒋桂宾博士。本次研讨会是继2007年9月的研讨会之后，在中美合作的支持下，英国、IGSNRR和RCEES之间新形成的伙伴关系。联合研究中心的生态系统和环境变化。预期联合讲习班将促进伙伴研究所之间在生态系统过程和管理、生物能源生产的环境可持续性、水资源的生态基础和改善生态环境系统的技术方面建立新的研究关系。除了研究之外，该研讨会预计将推动建立一种机制，使学生和初级研究人员参与解决生物能源和环境变化的跨文化国际研究。除了UTK之外，研讨会还包括来自达特茅斯学院、普渡大学、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.
