Engaging Social Scientists in the WATERS Initiative: Special Sessions at the 2008 International Symposium on Society and Resource Management

CBET-0827497MayerThis award is for partial supporting two sessions at the 2008 International Symposium on Society and Resource Management（ISSRM），to be held in the University of Vermont，June 10-14，2008. ISSRM是关注环境和自然资源问题的社会科学家的最大国际会议。 这些会议的目标是建立一个对综合性生物医药-社会流域观测站感兴趣的社会科学家网络。 特别是，这些会议将有助于社会科学家参与沃茨网络的规划。 第一次会议将包括与熟悉收集和分析人类与环境相互作用的社会数据的方法的社会科学家和熟悉沃茨Network项目的发言者进行小组讨论。 第二场会议将是关于设计用于流域数据收集的社会科学和生物物理综合网络的讲习班。 会议结束后，会议组织者将组织编写一份关于会议最重要成果的白色文件。

CBET-0827497MayerThis award is for partial support of two sessions at the 2008 International Symposium on Society and Resource Management (ISSRM), to be held at the University of Vermont, June 10-14, 2008. ISSRM is the largest international meeting of social scientists who focus on environmental and natural resources issues. The goal of the sessions will be to create a network of social scientists interested in integrative biophysical-social watershed observatories. In particular, these sessions will assist in the integration of social scientists in the planning of the WATERS Network. The first session will include a panel discussion with social scientists familiar with methodologies for collecting and analyzing social data on human-environment interactions and speaker familiar with the WATERS Network project. The second session will be a workshop on the design of integrated social science and biophysical networks for watershed data collection. Following the sessions, the session organizers will organize the writing of a white paper on the most significant results of the sessions.
