ESSAS Open Science Meeting

亨特1039525华盛顿大学基金会承诺为2011年5月22日至26日在华盛顿州西雅图举行的ESSAS(亚北冰洋生态系统研究)计划开放科学会议(OSM)提供部分支持。ESSAS发起于2005年，最初是GLOBEC(全球海洋生态系统动力学)的一个区域计划，自从GLOBEC终止以来，它现在是INBER(综合海洋生物地球化学和生态系统研究)的一个区域计划。ESSAS是一个国际合作研究项目，旨在提高人们对气候变化将如何影响亚北极海域提供的商品和服务的生产率和可持续性的理解。科学方法强调比较研究，既包括通常涉及实地工作的国家项目，也包括强调综合现有数据及其比较的国际项目。ESSAS方案现已进入第五个年头，在其预期寿命的中点，评估迄今取得的进展和今后工作的富有成效的方向是适当的。此外，ESSAS的几个国家方案正在逐步结束其实地工作，评估它们的成就和展示它们的结果是适当的。OSM的结构将包括一天的讲习班、5次半天的全体会议和3个下午，根据需求每天举行3或4次平行会议。还将有张贴海报的场地和晚间招待会，以鼓励海报作者和其他与会者之间的互动。

Hunt 1039525University of WashingtonFunds are committed to provide partial support for an ESSAS (Ecosystem Studies of Sub-Arctic Seas) Program Open Science Meeting (OSM) to be held 22-26 May 2011 in Seattle, Washington. ESSAS was initiated in 2005, originally as a Regional Program in GLOBEC (Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics) and since the termination of GLOBEC, it is now a Regional Program in IMBER (Integrated Marine Biogeochemical and Ecosystem Research). ESSAS is an international collaborative research program that seeks to improve understanding of how climate change will affect the productivity and sustainability of the goods and services offered by the sub-arctic seas. The scientific approach has emphasized comparative studies, and has included both national programs, often involving field work, and international programs emphasizing the synthesis of existing data and their comparison. The ESSAS program is now in its fifth year and, at this mid-point of its intended lifespan, it is appropriate to assess progress to date and fruitful directions for future work. Additionally, several of the national programs in ESSAS are winding down their field work, and it is appropriate to assess their accomplishments and to showcase their results. The structure of the OSM will include a day for workshops, 5 half-day plenary sessions, and three afternoons with 3 or 4 parallel sessions each day, depending on demand. There will also be a venue for poster displays and an evening reception to encourage interactions among the authors of the posters and other attendees at the meeting.
