Alaska Community-based Monitoring Best Practices Workshop

阿拉斯加社区监测最佳做法研讨会将于2014年4月1日至2日在阿拉斯加安克雷奇举行。这次研讨会将吸引煤层气项目和项目的资助者和项目经理，以及参与煤层气开发的社区成员，这涉及科学家和非科学家之间的对话和互动。开发一种可行的模式来规划、实施和维持整个阿拉斯加和阿拉斯加北极的煤层气，将提供手段，确保不同的人从事科学工作，并确保科学成果广泛分享给受研究影响的社区。由于从事煤层气工作的阿拉斯加人的性质，讲习班将让在科学和技术方面代表性不足的少数群体参加。它还将提高公众的科学素养和公众对科学技术的参与，并发展学术界和其他人之间的伙伴关系。对社会中个人福祉的一大潜在好处将通过未来煤层气工作对发现需要社区或社会反应来缓解、适应或逆转的重大环境变化的贡献来实现。所申请的资金将使其有可能向参与者免费提供讲习班，完成规划，邀请成功的实践者担任演讲者并支付旅费，支付设施费用，并利用讲习班的成果编写适用于阿拉斯加和北极的CBM最佳做法手册。

The Alaska Community-based Monitoring (CBM) Best Practices Workshop will be held April 1-2, 2014 in Anchorage, Alaska. This workshop will engage funders and program managers of CBM projects and programs and community members engaged in CBM, which involves dialogue and interaction between scientists and non-scientists. The development of a viable model for planning, implementing, and sustaining CBM throughout Alaska and in the Alaskan Arctic will provide the means to ensure a diversity of people become engaged in science and that scientific results are shared broadly with the communities affected by the research. Because of the nature of Alaskans engaged in CBM, the workshop will engage underrepresented minorities in science and technology. It will also increase public scientific literacy and public engagement with science and technology, and develop partnerships between academia and others. A major potential benefit to the well being of individuals in society will be realized by future contributions of CBM efforts to the detection significant environmental changes that require community or societal responses to mitigate, adapt to, or reverse. The funding requested would make it possible to offer the workshop free of charge to participants, complete planning, invite and pay travel costs for successful practitioners as speakers, pay facilities costs, and use the results of the workshop to write a CBM Best Practices manual applicable to Alaska and the Arctic.
