Pan American Advanced Studies Institute on global climate change and the ecology and management of tropical montane ecosystems, May, 2010, Santo Domingo

[0921925]马丁泛美高级研究所（PASI）奖由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）和美国能源部（DOE）联合支持，将于2010年5月在多米尼加共和国的Madre de las Aguas保护区举行。PASI由科罗拉多州柯林斯堡科罗拉多州立大学园艺与景观建筑系和生态学研究生学位课程的帕特里克·马丁博士组织，将讨论气候变化对热带山地生态系统（TMEs）生态和管理的影响。活动将围绕以下主要学科和主题展开：(1)气候变化：过去、现在和未来；(2)多样性与生物地理相互作用；（三）气候和水文气象学；(4)生态系统影响；(5)扰动生态学；(6)遥感；(7)云林保护、恢复和管理问题。PASI将以气候变化对TMEs的影响的方法和模型为特色，并培训来自美洲各地的下一批科学家，用整体方法研究全球气候变化的科学和管理。此外，PASI将确定需要研究的关键领域，制定可行的保护策略，并通过PASI网站和书籍传播信息。

0921925MartinThis Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) award, jointly supported by the NSF and the Department of Energy (DOE, will take place May, 2010, at the Madre de las Aguas Conservation Area in the Dominican Republic. Organized by Dr. Patrick Martin of the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture and Graduate Degree Program in Ecology, at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado, the PASI will address the impacts of climate change on the ecology and management of tropical montane ecosystems or TMEs. The activity will focus on the following major disciplines and themes: (1) Climate change: past, present and future; (2) Diversity and biogeographic interactions; (3) Climate and hydrometeorology; (4) Ecosystem impacts; (5) Disturbance ecology; (6) Remote sensing; and (7) Cloud forest conservation, restoration and management issues. The PASI will feature methods and models of the effects of climate change on TMEs and train the next cohort of scientists from across the Americas in holistic approaches to the science and management of global climate change. In addition, the PASI will identify key areas of needed research, formulate viable conservation strategies, and disseminate information through a PASI website and book.
