WORKSHOP Partnership Proposal: Expanding Climate Change Research through a Multidisciplinary Multi-agency Approach

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。拟议的系列研讨会将汇集来自落基山研究站、科罗拉多州立大学、美国地质勘探局的科学家、育空河部落间流域委员会（YRITWC）的科学小组，以及育空河流域社区——由Cup'ik、Yup'ik、Koyukon和Gwich'in部落成员组成——讨论有关气候变化对育空河流域影响的科学和地方问题。研讨会的策略是将科学家和科学知识与育空社区成员结合起来，包括YRITWC当地的河流监测能力和传统生态知识，以扩大每个小组对育空河流域生态变化的理解。YRITWC的成员社区对他们观察到的河流及其沿岸的变化越来越感兴趣，其中许多变化可能归因于气候变化。该计划支持一系列面对面和电子研讨会，以阐明共同感兴趣和关注的研究领域，为未来的社区/科学家合作研究项目提供支持。除了讲习班之外，育空世界文化中心还制定了向公众宣传和向育空社区传播知识的广泛计划。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The proposed series of workshops will bring together scientists from the Rocky Mountain Research Station, Colorado State University, USGS, the science team from the Yukon River Intertribal Watershed Council (YRITWC), and Yukon watershed communities - comprised of Cup'ik, Yup'ik, Koyukon and Gwich'in Tribal members to discuss issues, scientific and local, concerning the effect of climate change on the Yukon River watershed. The strategy for the workshop is to bring both scientists and scientific knowledge together with Yukon community members, including YRITWC's local river monitoring capacity and Traditional Ecological Knowledge in order to expand each groups' understanding of the changing ecology of the Yukon River watershed. YRITWC's member member communities are increasingly interested in the changes they are observing in and along the river, many of which are likely attributable to climate change. This project supports a series of worshops, face to face and electronic, to illuminate research areas of mutual interest and concern for future community/scientist collaborative research projects. In addition to the workshops, the YRITWC has an extensive plan for public outreach and dissemination of knowledge to Yukon communities.
