U.S.-Brazil Collaborative Workshop: Integration of Modeling in the Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiments in Amazonia (LBA); July 9 - 21, 2000, Brasilia, Brazil

这项美洲计划的奖金将资助美国科学家参加将于2000年7月9日至21日在巴西巴西利亚举行的全球变化模拟国际研讨会的旅费和有关费用。 美国的组织者是新罕布什尔州大学的多克·萨哈吉安，巴西的联合组织者是巴西国家空间研究所的卡洛斯·诺布雷。 该研讨会将有助于开发在亚马逊大规模生物圈-大气实验（LBA）中工作的研究团体的建模能力，利用“实践”经验培训参与者进行生态建模，并促进亚马逊科学家与美国和其他研究人员之间的合作，以开展联合国际项目。 参加者将从早期到中期的职业研究人员中选出，他们最有能力为研讨会贡献区域数据和理解，并将获得的能力传播给他们的同事和学生。研讨会在全球范围内关注亚马逊，并面向教育和推广，而不是实际的模型开发。 本次研讨会讨论的问题是全球分析、解释和建模工作组（GAIM）活动的核心，GAIM是国际地圈生物圈计划（IGBP）的一个组成部分。

This Americas Program award will support travel and related expenses for US scientists to participate in an international workshop on Global Change Modeling to be held in Brasilia, Brazil July 9-21, 2000. The US organizer is Dork Sahagian of the University of New Hampshire, and his Brazilian co-organizer is Carlos Nobre from INPE in Brazil. The workshop will help to develop modeling capabilities of the research community working in Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiments in Amazonia (LBA), train participants in ecological modeling using "hands-on" experience, and foster collaboration between Amazonian scientists and US and other researchers for joint international projects. Participants will be selected from early to mid-career researchers who are in the strongest position to contribute regional data and understanding to the workshop and disseminate the capabilities obtained to their colleagues and students.The workshop takes an Amazonian focus within a global context and is oriented toward education and outreach rather than actual model development. The issues addressed in this workshop are central to the activities of the Task Force on Global Analysis, Interpretation, and Modeling (GAIM), an element of the International Geosphere Biosphere Program (IGBP).
