Ecology, the science of the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings, and its relevance to society are in a period of rapid change. As a society, we are becoming increasingly globalized, while at the same time facing a growing number of environmental challenges, many of which are international in scope and extent. At the same time, our ability to measure and monitor the world around us has changed dramatically, both through technology development, such as remote sensing, automated instrumentation and high-throughput DNA sequencing, and through the establishment of both top-down observatories and bottom-up research networks. Data is more open and interconnected and these changes are fundamentally shifting the questions we can address in ecological science. The time is ripe to shift from conception to actively building international research collaborations that span international boundaries, ecological scale and observation systems. A workshop will be held in Arizona during February to bring together world leaders from the US, Canada, Australia, Mexico and South Africa in large scale ecological science. The workshop will investigate three major themes: 1) From data networks to knowledge networks, 2) ecological forecasting, and 3) training, education and outreach.

生态学是一门研究生物之间以及生物与自然环境之间关系的科学，它与社会的关系正处于一个快速变化的时期。作为一个社会，我们正变得越来越全球化，同时也面临着越来越多的环境挑战，其中许多挑战在范围和程度上都是国际性的。与此同时，通过遥感、自动化仪器和高通量DNA测序等技术的发展，以及自上而下的观测站和自下而上的研究网络的建立，我们测量和监测周围世界的能力发生了巨大变化。数据更加开放和相互关联，这些变化从根本上改变了我们在生态科学中可以解决的问题。从概念转变为积极建立跨越国际边界、生态规模和观测系统的国际研究合作的时机已经成熟。今年2月将在亚利桑那州举行一次研讨会，届时来自美国、加拿大、澳大利亚、墨西哥和南非的世界领导人将齐聚大规模生态科学领域。研讨会将探讨三个主要主题：1)从数据网络到知识网络；2)生态预测；3)培训、教育和推广。
