EPS-0934783Schweitzer: University of Alaska ? Fairbanks A Social-Ecological System (SES) is broadly defined as a system with interacting and interdependent physical, biological and social components, with a special emphasis on human interactions with nature. As the world?s climate changes, and these intensifying changes increasingly hold ramifications for human populations, the need for concerted analysis of social-ecological systems (SES) is intensified. Such dynamics are especially pronounced in Alaska, but are also present throughout the United States as population shifts and climate changes combine to produce changes in the intricate web of relationships that link human and natural systems. The increasing urgency of the situation calls for a sharper focus on the methods and means of integrating biological, physical, and social sciences into SES models. The Alaska EPSCoR Social-Ecological Systems Workshop will provide an ideal platform from which to accomplish this. The goals of the SES workshop, to be held in Anchorage in May, 2009, are to enable information-sharing across EPSCoR jurisdictions about SES issues, including both policy and research matters; to identify areas for cross-jurisdictional SES research projects, which will improve funding competitiveness; and to consider collaboration and outreach strategies among researchers, policy-makers, and managers.Intellectual merit: Workshop speakers will discourse on emerging scientific innovations in social-ecological systems, highlighting new research tools available in the field. As SES is still an emergent field, the workshop will potentially have a transformative effect on SES study. The workshop is specifically designed to build collaborations among NSF EPSCoR researchers and jurisdictions, thereby strengthening the nation?s research capacity.Broader impact: SES study is by its nature interdisciplinary, and the workshop will include researchers from across the scientific spectrum. It will also heavily involve the policy and management side of SES study, potentially impacting not just how SES researchers proceed but how their findings are utilized and implemented. Speakers will highlight opportunities for STEM educational outreach and workforce development through community-based research. In its study of specific populations SES is inherently concerned with diversity issues, and the workshop will deal with diversity in this sense as well as by tackling the issue of increasing the participation of underrepresented groups in SES research.

EPS-0934783施韦策：阿拉斯加大学？费尔班克斯社会生态系统（SES）被广泛地定义为具有相互作用和相互依赖的物理、生物和社会组成部分的系统，特别强调人类与自然的相互作用。 作为世界？随着气候变化的加剧，这些不断加剧的变化越来越多地对人类产生影响，对社会生态系统（SES）进行协调分析的必要性也在加强。 这种动态在阿拉斯加尤其明显，但也存在于整个美国，因为人口变化和气候变化联合收割机结合在一起，使连接人类和自然系统的错综复杂的关系网发生变化。形势的日益紧迫要求更加关注将生物，物理和社会科学整合到SES模型中的方法和手段。 阿拉斯加EPSCoR社会生态系统研讨会将为实现这一目标提供一个理想的平台。 SES研讨会将于2009年5月在安克雷奇举行，其目标是在EPSCoR辖区内实现有关SES问题的信息共享，包括政策和研究事项;确定跨辖区SES研究项目的领域，这将提高资金竞争力;并考虑研究人员、政策制定者和管理人员之间的合作和外联战略。研讨会发言人将讨论社会生态系统中新兴的科学创新，突出该领域的新研究工具。由于SES仍然是一个新兴的领域，研讨会将有可能对SES研究产生变革性的影响。 该研讨会是专门为建立NSF EPSCoR研究人员和司法管辖区之间的合作，从而加强国家？更广泛的影响：SES研究本质上是跨学科的，研讨会将包括来自各个科学领域的研究人员。它还将大量涉及SES研究的政策和管理方面，不仅可能影响SES研究人员如何进行，而且可能影响他们的研究结果如何被利用和实施。 演讲者将强调通过社区研究进行STEM教育推广和劳动力发展的机会。在对特定人口的研究中，社会经济地位与多样性问题密切相关，讲习班将从这一意义上处理多样性问题，并解决增加代表性不足的群体参与社会经济地位研究的问题。
