PASI: Pan-American Sensors for Environmental Observatories - An Interdisciplinary PASI; Bahia Blanca, Argentina, January 2009

这项由美国国家科学基金会和能源部共同支持的泛美高级研究所（PASI）奖将于2009年1月在阿根廷巴伊亚布兰卡的海洋学研究所举行。由托马斯C.哈蒙的加州大学-默塞德，这个PASI的目标是提供一个跨学科的合作培训经验，以参与者在传感器系统技术的应用，以环境观测科学的活动将提供一个多样化的群体，30-40名研究生，博士后，和初级教师的背景，从实验室芯片传感器开发到湖泊学领域的实地探索与一系列的动手实验，这将扩大他们在传感器系统技术领域的实践经验。 拟议的PASI短期课程将通过创建一个科学家和工程师的干部谁是在环境观测的技术状态的培训，并准备开始在技术开发和环境研究领域应用环境传感器系统的国际合作研究是变革。该项目还将帮助开发培训材料，这些材料可以通过美国和国际研究组织在其他情况下重复使用。 调查结果将通过泛太平洋教育组织的网站https://eng.ucmerced.edu/paseo公布。

This Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) award, jointly supported by the NSF and the Department of Energy (DOE), will take place January 2009 at the Instituto Argentino de Oceanografía in Bahía Blanca, Argentina. Organized by Dr. Thomas C. Harmon of the University of California - Merced, the goal of this PASI is to deliver an interdisciplinary collaborative training experience to participants in applications of sensor system technology to environmental observational science.The activity will provide a diverse group of 30-40 graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty with backgrounds ranging from lab-on-a-chip sensor development to field exploration in limnology with a series of hands-on experiments, which will expand their practical experience in the field of sensor system technology. The proposed PASI short course will be transformative by creating a cadre of scientists and engineers who are trained in the state-of-technology for environmental observations and primed for embarking on international collaborative research in both technology development and environmental research domains applying environmental sensor systems. The project will also help develop training materials that can be reused in other contexts through U.S. and international research organizations. Results will be disseminated through the PASEO web site at https://eng.ucmerced.edu/paseo.
