Workshop: Engineering Response to Climate Change: Adaption, Mitigation, and Sustainability (Mid-September 2010 / Washington, DC)

该赠款部分用于支持将于2010年9月中旬在华盛顿地区举行的气候变化工程响应：适应，缓解和可持续性研讨会。 研讨会将侧重于缓解和适应方法的整合，并将强调工程在制定应对气候变化的可持续技术路线图方面的中心地位。 研讨会的目标是确定关键的工程挑战，所需的进步，以及系统级的方法，以减少未来对气候变化的脆弱性。 研讨会将重点放在美国，而是从一个全球框架的角度。 与会者将来自多个学科，包括工程师，气候变化科学家，生态系统生物学家和公共政策研究人员。 讲习班会议的设计是互动的、跨领域的，并侧重于成果。 研讨会报告将讨论研讨会的结论，包括研究前沿和确定从工程应对的角度应对气候变化的适应、缓解和可持续性方面的研究需求。 将建立一个新的网站，以提供讲习班材料和讲习班最后报告。

This grant is in partial support of a workshop on Engineering Response to Climate Change: Adaptation, Mitigation, and Sustainability,to be held in mid-September 2010 in the Washington, DC area. The workshop will focus on the integration of mitigation and adaptation approaches and will emphasize the centrality of engineering in developing a sustainable technological roadmap for climate change response. The goal of the workshop is to identify key engineering challenges, needed advances, and systems level approaches to reduce future vulnerability to climate change. The workshop will focus on the U.S., but with the perspective of a global framework. The participants will be drawn from multiple disciplines, including engineers, climate change scientists, ecosystem biologists, and public policy researchers. Workshop sessions are designed to be interactive, cross-cutting, and focused on outcomes. The workshop report will address conclusions from the workshop including research frontiers and identification of research needs in adaptation, mitigation, and sustainability in response to climate change, from the perspective of engineering response. A new website will be created for the materials for the workshop and the workshop final report.
