Pan American Institute for Integration of Research on Climate Change and Hazards in the Americas; Panama City, Panama

0921613 SolisThis泛美高级研究所（PASI）奖，由美国国家科学基金会和能源部（DOE）联合支持，将于2010年夏天在帕纳马科技大学校园举行。 由Patricia A博士组织。美国地理学家协会的Solis说，PASI将解决美洲气候变化和灾害研究的一体化问题。该研究所将1）确定，参与和整合新一代学者和从业人员与主要组织围绕气候变化和灾害之间关系的持续活动，2）利用地理技术的综合能力，围绕该地区气候变化和灾害之间的联系，将先进的知识领域联系起来;以及3）制定跨学科和跨部门的合作研究和教育议程。该活动将通过整合先进的研究、围绕气候变化与灾害之间的联系协同开展国际地理空间合作，以及培养一个全区域的学者和从业人员社区，促进从数据到知识再到行动的更大联合运动。本PASI的预期成果将是通过让新一代学者/从业者参与国际倡议，并将这些观点纳入各种科学和工程学科的教育机会，从而改变气候变化和灾害研究。PASI还将通过开发一个网站和维基来帮助公众更好地了解气候变化及其潜在危害。

0921613SolisThis Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) award, jointly supported by the NSF and the Department of Energy (DOE), will take place the summer of 2010, at the campus of the Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá. Organized by Dr. Patricia A. Solis of the Association of American Geographers, the PASI cwill address the Integration of research on climate change and hazards in the Americas. The institute will 1) identify, engage, and integrate a new generation of scholars and practitioners with on-going activities of major organizations around the relationships between climate change and hazards, 2) interrelate advanced knowledge domains around links between climate change and hazards in the region using integrative capacities of geographic technologies; and 3) elaborate a collaborative research and educational agenda that spans across disciplines and sectors. The activity will foster greater joint movement from data to knowledge to action, by consolidating advanced research, synergizing international geospatial collaboration around links between climate change and hazards, and fostering a region-wide community of scholars and practitioners. Expected outcomes in this PASI will be to transform climate change and hazards research by engaging a new generation of scholars/practitioners with international initiatives, and by integrating these perspectives into educational opportunities for various sciences and engineering disciplines. The PASI will also help the public better understand climate change and its potential hazards through the development of a website and wiki.
