NEON Workshop: National Ecological Observatory Network Workshop at Archbold Biological Station in Lake Placid, Florida, Winter 2000

阿奇博尔德生物站提议举办一个规划研讨会，以发展国家生态观测站网络NEON的跨学科能力和概念广度。研讨会将于2000年1月10日至12日举行。研讨会主持人是犹他州立大学的马丁·考德威尔博士。研讨会的目标是：发展一些可以由NEON解决的广泛的生态概念，确定NEON观测站所需的基础设施类型，解决NEON基础设施的管理问题，讨论NEON站点内部和站点之间的研究协调，并就克服与多机构，大规模和广泛跨学科的合作研究相关的社会学和制度障碍的挑战提供建议。介绍会议和分组讨论小组的报告将在万维网上播放。研讨会结果将提交给美国国家科学基金会一份报告。

The Archbold Biological Station has proposed to conduct a planning workshop to develop the interdisciplinary capability and conceptual breadth of NEON, the National Ecological Observatory Network. The workshop will be held from 10-12 January 2000. Workshop facilitator is Dr. Martyn Caldwell of Utah State University. The goals of the workshop are to:develop some broad ecological concepts that can be addressed by NEON,determine the types of infrastructure needed for observatories in NEON, address management issues for NEON infrastructure,discuss coordination of research within and among NEON sites, andprovide advice on the challenges of overcoming the sociological and institutional barriers associated with colaborative research that is multi-institution, large-scale, and broadly interdisciplinary.Introductory sessions and reports by breakout groups will be broadcast on the world wide web. The workshop will result in a report submitted to NSF.
