US-Ukraine National Academies Workshop on "Climate Change, Regional Consequences, and Management Measures" in Washington, DC, Fall 2009

乌克兰政府已要求乌克兰国家科学院(NASU)就极端洪水的预测和应对此类事件的计划提供建议，包括咨询国际专家。NASU求助于美国国家科学院(NAS/NAE/NRC)，寻求共同努力，了解气候变化导致乌克兰喀尔巴底山脉洪水风险增加的程度，以及水部门的其他变化，并解决如何管理这些风险。美国国家科学院计划于2009年秋季晚些时候在华盛顿特区举办一次研讨会，以解决这些问题。陆军工程兵团？国际水资源综合管理中心正在为讲习班提供核心资金，并由国家科学基金会提供额外支持。

The Ukrainian government has asked the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU) for advice with regard to projections for extreme flooding and plans for dealing with such events, including consulting international expertise. The NASU turned to the US National Academies (NAS/NAE/NRC) to seek a joint effort in understanding the degree of climate-change-induced increased risk of flooding in the Carpathian Mountains of Ukraine, and other changes in the water sector, and in addressing how to manage these risks. A Workshop to address these questions, to be hosted by the US National Academies, is planned for late Fall 2009 in Washington DC. The Army Corps of Engineers? International Center for Integrated Water Resources Management is providing core funding to support the Workshop, with additional support from the National Science Foundation.
