Hawaii-Fiji collaboration: workshop on social-ecological resiliency to climate change, preliminary data collection, and methods trainingPeople who live on small islands are involved in tight feedback loops that make them acutely aware of how anthropogenic and natural influences affect their resources. Pacific Islanders have developed traditional ecological knowledge and resource management systems to deal with high levels of environmental uncertainty and resource scarcity, and may be able to teach us important lessons about adaptive capacity and resilience in coupled human and natural systems. A cross-disciplinary team of researchers from the University of Hawai?i(USA) and the University of the South Pacific (Fiji) will hold a planning workshop, teach a short training course in social-ecological methods and approaches to studying resilience in coupled human natural systems, collect baseline data, and develop a collaboration that has the capacity to test if and under what conditions traditional ecological knowledge and traditional resource management can enhance adaptation and resilience to climate change in the Pacific Islands. This project builds capacity in research and education. It provides cross-disciplinary training for undergraduate and graduate students and an international research experience that can lead to longer term collaborations. By targeting Pacific Islanders in recruitment, this initiative will broaden the participation of an under-represented group. In establishing a collaboration among US researchers from different disciplines (social and natural sciences, marine and terrestrial spheres), and between US and Fijian researchers with complimentary expertise, this project develops a network that has the capacity to address complex issues that can contribute to policy for improving strategies for resilience and adaptation to climate change.

夏威夷-斐济合作：关于气候变化的社会-生态复原力讲习班、初步数据收集和方法培训生活在小岛屿上的人民参与紧密的反馈循环，使他们敏锐地意识到人为和自然影响如何影响他们的资源。太平洋岛民已经发展了传统的生态知识和资源管理系统，以应对高度的环境不确定性和资源稀缺，并且可能能够教给我们关于人类和自然耦合系统的适应能力和恢复力的重要经验。一个来自夏威夷大学的跨学科研究小组？国际生态研究所（美国）和南太平洋大学（斐济）将举办一个规划讲习班，教授一个关于社会生态方法和方法的短期培训班，以研究耦合的人类自然系统的复原力，收集基线数据，并开展一项合作，以便有能力检验传统生态知识和传统资源管理是否以及在什么条件下能够增强太平洋岛屿对气候变化的适应和复原力。该项目建设研究和教育能力。它为本科生和研究生提供跨学科培训，并提供可导致长期合作的国际研究经验。这项倡议以太平洋岛民为征聘对象，将扩大代表性不足的群体的参与。通过在来自不同学科（社会和自然科学、海洋和陆地领域）的美国研究人员之间建立合作，以及在拥有互补专业知识的美国和斐济研究人员之间建立合作，该项目开发了一个网络，该网络有能力解决复杂的问题，从而有助于制定政策，改善应对气候变化的战略。
