Support for the SSRC Committee for Research on Global Environmental Change

9310369 Fatherman自1989年以来，社会科学研究理事会全球环境变化研究委员会(SSRC)促进了关于人与环境相互作用的研究和培训，这些相互作用的规模至少是大陆的，发生的时间跨度从几十年到几百年不等。该委员会的成就包括开发了三个主要的跨学科研究项目，有来自世界各地的80名研究人员参与，赞助了促进研究的研讨会和其他聚会，并制定了培训机构和奖学金计划。这一续期奖将继续为委员会的核心业务提供额外三年的支持。在此期间，委员会将开展的活动包括继续促进重大国际跨学科研究项目的发展，探索促进跨学科研究培训的各种方法，以及赞助第一次定期安排的研究人员会议，审查全球环境变化的人的方面，暂定于1994年10月举行。通过SSRC全球环境变化研究委员会的继续运作，将继续开展旨在吸引更多科学家研究更长期、更广泛的人与环境相互作用的重大跨学科研究和培训活动。特别强调在今后三年内扩大外联活动，应会增加通过参加委员会主办的活动而直接受益的学者人数，并通过推动对这一重要专题的研究而间接受益的学者人数。***

9310369 FEATHERMAN Since 1989, the Committee for Research on Global Environmental Change of the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) has facilitated research and training on human- environmental interactions that are at least continental in scale and that occur over time periods ranging from decades to centuries. Among the committee's accomplishments are development of three major interdisciplinary research projects that involve eighty researchers from around the world, sponsorship of workshops and other gatherings to stimulate research, and development of plans for training institutes and fellowships. This renewal award continues support for core operations for the committee for three additional years. Among the activities to be undertaken by the committee over that period are continued catalytic development of major international, interdisciplinary research projects, exploration of a variety of ways to foster interdisciplinary research training, and sponsorship of the first regularly scheduled meeting of researchers examining the human dimensions of global environmental change, tentatively scheduled for October 1994. Through continued operation of the SSRC Committee for Research on Global Environmental Change, major interdisciplinary research and training activities designed to attract more scientists to the study of longer-term, wide-ranging human- environmental interactions will continue. Special emphasis on expansion of outreach activities during the next three years should increase the number of scholars who benefit directly through participation in committee-sponsored activities and indirectly through the advancement of research on this important topic. ***
