BE/CNH: Human Dimensions of the Arctic System: A Workshop to Stimulate Research on the Dynamics of Coupled Natural and Human Systems

本次研讨会汇集了一系列研究人员，包括研究生和初级教师，来自各种自然和社会科学学科，以了解北极系统的人类维度（HARC）。人与环境之间的密切联系，人类和自然系统的巨大变异性，以及极地地区将受到全球变化的巨大影响的预测，使北极成为研究自然和人类系统耦合动力学的一个引人注目的地区。讲习班将包括北极土著社区的大力参与。各学科之间以及研究人员和土著代表之间的研究伙伴关系将通过讨论紧迫的环境、社会和文化问题的机会得到促进。该项目是2001年度环境生物复杂性特别竞赛颁发的奖项，重点关注自然和人类系统耦合的动力学。

This workshop brings together a range of researchers, including graduate students and junior faculty, from a variety of natural and social science disciplines to understand the Human Dimensions of the Arctic System (HARC). The close linkages between people and the environment, the great variability in both human and natural systems, and predictions that the polar regions will experience large impacts of global change make the Arctic a compelling region for research in to the dynamics of coupled natural and human systems. The workshop will include strong participation from the Arctic indigenous community. Research partnerships between disciplines and among researchers and indigenous representatives will be fostered by the opportunity to discuss pressing environmental, social, and cultural concerns. This project is an award emanating from the FY 2001 special competition in Biocomplexity in the Environment focusing on the Dynamics of Coupled Natural and Human Systems.
