Funding for Environmental SD Models? SD + GIS ?
Posted: Mon Apr 20, 1998 8:38 am
The Arctic System Science Program (ASSP) at NSF has an initiative called
Synthesis, Integration and Modeling Studies (SIMS). It is, as the name
implies, Arctic based, but several people whom I know have used it to develop
more general environmental models using Arctic data. The ASSP wants people to
be integrating data generated through their other initiatives (which cover
everything from physical oceanography to human/environment interactions), but
they will also tell you that models play a key role in the overall design of
the program.
For more information, go to NSFs web site:
http://www.nsf.gov
look for Polar Pograms, then under the Arctic Section, look for ASSP. Or
contact the program manager, Mike Ledbetter:
mledbett@nsf.gov
You may need to find some one already working in the Arctic. There is a
directory of people at:
