U.S.-Ireland: Transatlantic Workshops on Coastal/Marine Mapping and Informatics

这是一系列的两个美国-爱尔兰研讨会，将审查海岸测绘和信息学的最新发展。讲习班将汇集来自美国、爱尔兰和加拿大的主要研究专家，初级研究人员、妇女和代表性不足群体的成员将参加讲习班。研讨会的联合组织者是来自俄勒冈州立大学的Dawn Wright博士和来自爱尔兰科克大学学院环境研究所的Valerie Cummins博士和Liz O‘Dea博士。该讲习班的主要目标是为沿海/海洋测绘专业人员和管理人员制定关于组织沿海空间信息的指导方针。讲习班将为沿海/海洋测绘方面的国际专家提供机会，找出该学科现状存在的问题和困难，并制定战略和研究议程，以改进和推进沿海测绘科学的整体效率。这些讲习班也是扩大代表性不足群体的参与以及美国初级科学家和学生与国际社会专家见面和分享知识的难得机会。该研讨会实现了将美国、爱尔兰和加拿大的顶尖专家聚集在一起，在平等、互惠和互利的基础上，在共同利益和能力强的领域结合互补努力和能力的计划目标。

This is a series of two US-Ireland workshops that will examine state-of-the-art developments in coastal mapping and informatics. The workshops will bring together key research experts from the United States, Ireland and Canada, and they will involve the participation of junior researchers, women and members of underrepresented groups. The co-organizers of the workshop are Dr. Dawn Wright from Oregon State University and Drs. Valerie Cummins and Liz O'Dea from the Environmental Research Institute at University College, Cork, Ireland. The primary goal of this workshop is to develop guidelines for coastal/marine mapping professionals and managers in their quest for organizing coastal spatial information. The workshop will provide an opportunity for international experts in coastal/marine mapping to identify problems and difficulties with the present status of the discipline and to develop a strategy and research agenda that will improve and advance the overall efficiency of coastal mapping science. These workshops are also an exceptional opportunities for broadening the participation of underrepresented groups and for junior US scientists and students to meet and share knowledge with experts from the international community. This workshop fulfills the program objectives of bringing together leading experts in the US, Ireland and Canada to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.
