Abstract0924903: Robert Rhodes, University of GeorgiaThis U.S.-Peru award will support a workshop focused on the recession of tropical glaciers in an era of global climate change and the subsequent impacts on water resources such changes will have for vulnerable segments of society. The workshop will be held in July 2009 in Lima and Huarez, Peru, and will be co-funded by USAID as part of the NSF-USAID MOU. Organized by Dr. Robert Rhodes of the University of Georgia in collaboration with Dr. Jorge Recharte from the Andeans Program of the Mountain Institute in Peru, the workshop will focus on (a) the importance of water resources management for long-range planning and climate change adaptation, (b) how changes could affect those aspects of life in the mountains that depend on glaciers for sustenance, and (c) the identification of priority research, collaboration, and pilot project initiatives. Furthermore, USAID/Peru will provide grants for implementation of high-priority projects identified in the workshop. Additionally, CONCYTEC, Peru?s National Science Council, will channel results of the conference to national research policies and actions. The workshop will bring together a diverse community of researchers, graduate students, practioners, and policy makers from the United States and Peru as well as Bolivia, Ecuador, France, Nepal, Netherlands, and Pakistan. Outcomes from the workshop will lead to new insights regarding systems that increase downstream awareness for climate change in mountain regions. Additionally, new interdisciplinary research and field projects of interest to NSF, USAID, and the participating countries will be an outcome of this workshop.

摘要0924903：罗伯特罗兹，佐治亚大学秘鲁奖将支持举办一个讲习班，重点讨论全球气候变化时代热带冰川的衰退以及这种变化对社会弱势群体水资源的影响。 讲习班将于2009年7月在秘鲁利马和瓦雷斯举行，由美援署共同资助，作为国家安全基金-美援署谅解备忘录的一部分。 讲习班由格鲁吉亚大学的Robert罗兹博士与秘鲁山区研究所安第斯方案的Jorge Recharte博士合作组织，重点是：（a）水资源管理对长期规划和适应气候变化的重要性;（B）变化如何影响依靠冰川维持生存的山区生命的各个方面，以及（c）确定优先研究、合作和试点项目倡议。 此外，美援署/秘鲁将为执行讲习班确定的高度优先项目提供赠款。 此外，CONCYTEC，秘鲁？美国国家科学理事会将把会议的成果转化为国家研究政策和行动。 研讨会将汇集来自美国和秘鲁以及玻利维亚、厄瓜多尔、法国、尼泊尔、荷兰和巴基斯坦的研究人员、研究生、从业人员和决策者的多元化社区。 研讨会的成果将使人们对提高山区下游对气候变化的认识的系统有新的认识。 此外，NSF，USAID和参与国感兴趣的新的跨学科研究和实地项目将是这次研讨会的成果。
