Water Systems, Science and Society Under Global Change: An interdisciplinary research conference and forum

该项目旨在为即将于2014年6月18日至20日在塔夫茨大学举行的由UCOWR、NIWR和CUAHSI共同主办的“全球变化下的水系统、科学和社会”联合科学会议提供一些组件。联合会议的目标是：(1)整合国家水资源社区以推进科学。(2)将研究成果转化为实践；(3)早期职业研究者的网络和指导。本次会议将引发有关水系统研究未来方向的智力对话，特别强调确定新科学知识发现的潜在领域，这些领域将增强我们在全球变化影响下解决未来水管理挑战的能力。与会者将受益于了解三个国家级组织提供的新的可能性和机会，以及将从根本上利用这些组织的智力优势和声誉的沟通，包括CUAHSI， UCOWR和NIWR。观众的反馈也会影响到这三个组织。

This project is to create some components to aid in the forthcoming joint scientific conference on Water Systems, Science, and Society Under Global Change to be co-sponsored by UCOWR, NIWR, and CUAHSI and held on June 18 - 20, 2014 at Tufts University. The goals of the joint conference are (1) Integration of National Water Resources Communities to Advance Science. (2) Translating Research to Practice and (3) Networking and Mentoring of Early Career Researchers. This conference will trigger intellectual conversations relating to future directions in water system research with a particular emphasis on identifying those potential areas of new scientific knowledge discovery that will amplify our ability to solve future water management challenges under global change impact. The participants will benefit from understanding new possibilities and opportunities provided by the three national level organizations and the communication that will essentially leverage the intellectual strengths and reputations of these organizations including CUAHSI, UCOWR, and NIWR. The feedbacks from the audience will also impact the three organizations.
