Biodiversity Cyberinfrastructure

Join us for an exploratory meeting to discuss biodiversity science challenges and interdisciplinary collaborations in Southeast Asia. Identify compelling questions for a new cyberinfrastructure to enable innovative research. Engage in discussions on geospatial, taxonomic, and genetic biodiversity themes. Sessions include informatics, chemistry, forestry, and collaborative opportunities. Share insights, challenges, and ideas for future research.

  1. Biodiversity Cyberinfrastructure Welcome from Organizing Committee Fang-Pang Lin Peter Arzberger Reed Beaman Charlotte Germain Hen-biau King Habibah Wahab

  2. Participants - 32 • Cambodia 1 • France 1 • Germany 1 • Indonesia 3 • Lao 1 • Malaysia 4 • Philippines 2 • Taiwan 3 • Thailand 8 • US 5 • Vietnam 3

  3. Spirit of Meeting • Building on SEAIP / PRAGMA foundation • Background • Exploratory • Is there overlapping interest among research represented here? • Preliminary • Consider this as an opportunity to take a first step. • We limited scientific focus mostly to terrestrial and plant (including trees). • There are other colleagues / areas / activities that we could consider for the future • Collaborative / Interdisciplinary • We value interactions among colleagues, across disciplines (where it makes sense) • Flexible and Fun • We can rearrange schedule

  4. Outcomes: What we said! • Explore biodiversity science challenges • that go beyond traditional approaches to disciplinary biological research and natural resource management. • Explore possibilities for new collaborations among researchers in Southeast Asia • for innovative approaches to interdisciplinary, complex, data- and computationally-intensive biodiversity challenges. • Identify compelling biodiversity science questions around which we can conceptualize a cyberinfrastructurethat will enable new interdisciplinary science and collaborations.

  5. Confluence of Science, Societal Issues, and Technology • Initial scientific themes (not limited to) • geospatial, taxonomic, genetic, and functional components of biodiversity • Applications to contemporary societal issues, e.g. • natural products chemistry, natural resource management and certification, and biodiversity services quantification. • Support infrastructure for this research includes • lab and field methodologies, data management, remote sensing, sampling and sensor networks, and the underlying Cyberinfrastructure

  6. Agenda – SaturdayIntroductions – Share Ideas - Discussions • Session 1: Overview and informatics (part 1) • Reed Beaman • Session 2: Chemistry (Pharmaceuticals, Natural compounds) • Habibah Wahab • Session 3: Biodiversity / Forestry • Hen-biau King • Session 4: Informatics (part 2) • Fang-Pang Lin • Wrap –up: Summarizing ideas, opportunities, challenges

  7. Each Session • Overview • Short introduction - by each person • Current research, development, or educational activities (relevant to the topic of biodiversity). • Challenge question(s) (for example) – by each person • What are the greatest challenges to furthering your research? • What are the greatest opportunities in working with a broader group of individuals to address key research challenges? • What are challenges to working internationally? • What are the opportunities for students in this area of research? • Discussion

  8. Agenda SundaySynthesis – Next Steps • Are there common areas among some of the participants? • Are there opportunities we should pursue for continued dialog and/or collaboration? • Are there other researchers we should include for future meetings, workshops, or activities? • Outline written report How many are staying for Sunday?
