WORKSHOP Partnership Proposal: Expanding Climate Change Research through a Multidisciplinary Multi-agency Approach

该奖项由2009年《美国复苏与再投资法案》(公法111-5)资助。拟议中的一系列研讨会将汇集来自落基山研究站、科罗拉多州立大学、美国地质调查局、育空河部落间分水岭委员会(YRITWC)的科学家以及育空流域社区--由Cup‘ik、Yup’ik、Koyukon和Gwich‘in部落成员组成--讨论气候变化对育空河流域的影响的科学和地方问题。研讨会的战略是将科学家和科学知识与育空社区成员结合在一起，包括YRITWC的当地河流监测能力和传统生态知识，以扩大每个群体对育空流域不断变化的生态的了解。YRITWC的成员社区对他们在河流及其沿线观察到的变化越来越感兴趣，其中许多变化可能归因于气候变化。该项目支持一系列面对面和电子的WORBS，以阐明未来社区/科学家合作研究项目共同感兴趣和关注的研究领域。除讲习班外，青年会还制定了一项广泛的公共宣传计划，并向育空社区传播知识。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The proposed series of workshops will bring together scientists from the Rocky Mountain Research Station, Colorado State University, USGS, the science team from the Yukon River Intertribal Watershed Council (YRITWC), and Yukon watershed communities - comprised of Cup'ik, Yup'ik, Koyukon and Gwich'in Tribal members to discuss issues, scientific and local, concerning the effect of climate change on the Yukon River watershed. The strategy for the workshop is to bring both scientists and scientific knowledge together with Yukon community members, including YRITWC's local river monitoring capacity and Traditional Ecological Knowledge in order to expand each groups' understanding of the changing ecology of the Yukon River watershed. YRITWC's member member communities are increasingly interested in the changes they are observing in and along the river, many of which are likely attributable to climate change. This project supports a series of worshops, face to face and electronic, to illuminate research areas of mutual interest and concern for future community/scientist collaborative research projects. In addition to the workshops, the YRITWC has an extensive plan for public outreach and dissemination of knowledge to Yukon communities.
