This award will support workshops at annual winter meetings of the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO). The period to be covered includes the 2012 Ocean Sciences meeting to be held in Salt Lake City as a joint effort among ASLO, the American Geophysical Union (AGU), and The Oceanography Society (TOS) and the 2013 ASLO Aquatic Sciences meeting to be held in New Orleans. The PI will have two workshops at each meeting, one will be a video workshop (film festival) to be held on the Sunday before the formal meeting schedule and the other will be an evening panel discussion during the week. The underlying need for these workshops is that the environmental science community is doing a poor job of conveying to the general public the severity of environmental problems we face today and developing an interest within the public and elected officials for remedial actions. Through this work we will create a greater awareness within the research community of the need for more outreach and to provide guidance on how to better communicate the results of our research.

该奖项将用于支持在湖沼学和海洋学科学协会（ASLO）年度冬季会议上举办的讲习班。会议期间包括将在盐湖城举行的2012年海洋科学会议，这是ASLO、美国地球物理联盟（AGU）和海洋学学会（TOS）的共同努力，以及将在新奥尔良举行的2013年ASLO水生科学会议。PI将在每次会议上举办两个研讨会，一个是在正式会议安排之前的周日举行的视频研讨会（电影节），另一个是在一周内举行的晚上小组讨论。这些研讨会的潜在需求是，环境科学界在向公众传达我们今天面临的环境问题的严重性以及在公众和民选官员中培养对补救行动的兴趣方面做得很差。通过这项工作，我们将使研究界更清楚地认识到需要更多的外联，并就如何更好地交流我们的研究成果提供指导。
