This book was released on 2014 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A national science advisory process was held November 14-15, 2012 at the Institute of Ocean Sciences in Sidney, British Columbia. The purpose of the meeting was to highlight the findings of the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Ecosystem Research Initiatives (ERIs) and to summarise the 'lessons learned' from that program. These Proceedings summarize the discussions of the meeting. The discussions include the Strait of Georgia ERI, Beaufort Sea Shelf ERI, Lake Ontario, Lower St. Lawrence Estuary ERI, Northumberland Strait ERI, Gulf of Maine ERI, Newfoundland Shelf ERI, and lessons learned from an ERI.--Includes text from document.

This book was released on 2003-03-07 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report reviews a U.S. Department of the Interior research program, finding that it provides key information to support the restoration of the Florida Everglades and to better assess the impact of hydrologic change on the ecosystem. However, the program needs more funding, better management and broader distribution of its findings. The report suggests that strategic investments in Everglades research will increase the chances of reaching restoration goals while reducing overall costs.

Download or read book Understanding Northern Latitude Vegetation Greening and Browning written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-04-18 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vegetation change has been observed across Arctic and boreal regions. Studies have often documented large-scale greening trends, but they have also identified areas of browning or shifts between greening and browning over varying spatial extents and time periods. At the same time, though, there are large portions of these ecosystems that have not exhibited measurable trends in greening or browning. These findings have fueled many questions about the drivers of vegetation dynamics, how trends are measured, and potential implications of vegetation change at local to global scales. In December 2018, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, convened a workshop to discuss opportunities to improve understanding of greening and browning trends and drivers and the implications of these vegetation changes. The discussions included a close look at many of the methodological approaches used to evaluate greening and browning, as well as exploration of newer technologies that may help advance the science. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

This book was released on 2012-12-21 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In anticipation of future environmental science and engineering challenges and technologic advances, EPA asked the National Research Council (NRC) to assess the overall capabilities of the agency to develop, obtain, and use the best available scientific and technologic information and tools to meet persistent, emerging, and future mission challenges and opportunities. Although the committee cannot predict with certainty what new environmental problems EPA will face in the next 10 years or more, it worked to identify some of the common drivers and common characteristics of problems that are likely to occur. Tensions inherent to the structure of EPA's work contribute to the current and persistent challenges faced by the agency, and meeting those challenges will require development of leading-edge scientific methods, tools, and technologies, and a more deliberate approach to systems thinking and interdisciplinary science. Science for Environmental Protection: The Road Ahead outlines a framework for building science for environmental protection in the 21st century and identified key areas where enhanced leadership and capacity can strengthen the agency's abilities to address current and emerging environmental challenges as well as take advantage of new tools and technologies to address them. The foundation of EPA science is strong, but the agency needs to continue to address numerous present and future challenges if it is to maintain its science leadership and meet its expanding mandates.

Download or read book Fostering the Culture of Convergence in Research written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Convergence-based research approaches are critical in solving many scientific challenges, which frequently draw on large teams of collaborators from multiple disciplines. The 2014 report Convergence: Facilitating Transdisciplinary Integration of Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Engineering, and Beyond describes the term "convergence" as a multidisciplinary approach that melds divergent areas of expertise to form conclusions that are inaccessible otherwise. However, a convergence-based approach involves hybrid systems of people, buildings, and instruments, which pose complex structural and managerial challenges. In October 23â€"24, 2018, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop to explore efforts to promote cultures that support convergence-based approaches to research. The 2014 report served as a foundation for this workshop, allowing participants to further explore convergence as a valuable and adaptable approach to organizing research. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
