项目摘要

Ecologists are increasingly analyzing big environmental datasets to make forecasts about the future health of ecosystems. However, the data analysis and modeling skills needed to successfully develop ecological forecasts are rarely taught in undergraduate classrooms. To overcome this challenge, this project will expand an existing, successful training program (Macrosystems EDDIE: Environmental Data-Driven Inquiry & Exploration) to teach students fundamental ecological concepts as they create forecasts for lakes and forests across the United States. Through Macrosystems EDDIE, students and instructors will learn how to use models, assess forecast accuracy with observational data, and communicate forecasts to managers and decision-makers. These skills will be embedded in stand-alone teaching modules that will be widely applicable to multiple disciplines and student experience levels. Macrosystems EDDIE provides an innovative new approach for teaching macrosystems ecology and has the potential to advance undergraduate science education across the U.S. By strengthening both students' quantitative skillsets and understanding of macrosystems ecology, this project will help develop a diverse, globally-competitive scientific workforce and enhanced infrastructure for macrosystems research and education.The biosphere is changing at unprecedented rates, requiring ecologists to use macrosystems science approaches to make forecasts about the future state of populations, communities, and ecosystems. Macrosystems EDDIE will provide the training needed to make ecological forecasting accessible to all ecologists, from undergraduates to senior researchers, by distilling complex topics and skills to an introductory level via interactive tools and visualizations. The teaching modules will analyze aquatic and terrestrial data from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) and Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON) to explore how the predictability of ecological dynamics varies among ecosystems and across different spatial scales. All teaching modules will be rigorously assessed, revised, and disseminated broadly for maximum impact through the Science Education Research Center (SERC). Beyond undergraduate classrooms, module teaching materials will be used by Ecological Forecasting Initiative researchers, thereby supporting collaborative, interdisciplinary science across multiple institutions. By teaching ecologists at multiple experience levels how to retrieve, analyze, and visualize NEON and GLEON data, our goal is to enable widespread use of computational research approaches while advancing macrosystems ecology and ecological forecasting.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

生态学家越来越多地分析大型环境数据集，以预测生态系统的未来健康状况。然而，成功开发生态预测所需的数据分析和建模技能很少在本科课堂上教授。为了克服这一挑战，该项目将扩大现有的，成功的培训计划（宏观系统EDDIE：环境数据驱动的调查探索），教学生基本的生态概念，因为他们创造的湖泊和森林在美国各地的预测。通过宏观系统EDDIE，学生和教师将学习如何使用模型，用观测数据评估预测准确性，并将预测传达给管理者和决策者。这些技能将嵌入到独立的教学模块中，这些模块将广泛适用于多个学科和学生的经验水平。宏观系统EDDIE为宏观系统生态学的教学提供了一种创新的新方法，并有可能促进整个美国的本科科学教育。通过加强学生的定量技能和对宏观系统生态学的理解，该项目将有助于发展多样化，具有全球竞争力的科学劳动力和增强宏观系统研究和教育的基础设施。生物圈正在以前所未有的速度变化，要求生态学家使用宏观系统科学的方法来预测人口，社区和生态系统的未来状态。宏观系统EDDIE将提供所需的培训，使生态预测访问所有生态学家，从本科生到高级研究人员，通过提取复杂的主题和技能，通过互动工具和可视化的入门级。教学模块将分析来自国家生态观测网络（氖）和全球湖泊生态观测网络（GLEON）的水生和陆地数据，以探索生态动态的可预测性如何在生态系统之间和不同的空间尺度上变化。所有的教学模块将通过科学教育研究中心（SERC）进行严格的评估，修订和广泛传播，以产生最大的影响。除了本科课堂，生态预测倡议的研究人员将使用模块教材，从而支持跨多个机构的协作，跨学科科学。通过教授具有多种经验水平的生态学家如何检索、分析和可视化氖和GLEON数据，我们的目标是在推进宏观系统生态学和生态预测的同时，实现计算研究方法的广泛应用。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
