UCOWR Annual Meeting - Support for Presenters/Participants

0109934鲍曼同行评议科学是否确保科学只对“同行”感兴趣？由面向任务的机构(如EPA、USDA和USGS)进行同行评审的科学是否只对该机构的雇员或其纪律任务感兴趣？除了好奇的教职员工，还有人对大学教职员工的科学好奇心感兴趣吗？随着社会面临日益复杂的水管理决策，科学似乎无法提供相关的投入，公众和他们选出的代表一直并将继续提出上述问题。UCOWR提议在其2001年犹他州年会上组织一系列为期一天的会议，以审查过去和当前采用的管理方法，以计划、审查和开展水研究，并评估水研究成果与社会对新知识的需求的相关性，以支持日益复杂的水管理决策。将在为期一天的会议上出版一期《水资源最新情况》，并为《美国水资源协会》和/或《地球观测系统》杂志的对话部分编写一份摘要对话文件。

0109934 BaumannDoes peer review science insure that science is of interest only to "peers"? Is peer reviewed science performed by mission oriented agencies (e.g. EPA, USDA & USGS) of interest only to employees of the agency or their disciplinary mission? Is the scientific curiosity of university faculty of interest to anyone other than the curious faculty member? Questions, such as the above, have been and continue to be asked by the public and their elected representatives as society faces increasingly complex water management decisions and science seems incapable of providing relevant input.UCOWR is proposing to organize a day-long series of sessions at its 2001 annual meeting in Utah to examine past and current management method enployed to plan, review, and conduct water research as well as evaluate the relevance of water research findings to society's need for new knowledge to support increasingly complex water management decision-making. A Water Resources Update issue will be produced from the day-long sessions as well as a summary dialogue paper for the dialogue section of the journal of the American Water Resources Association and /or EOS.
