UB2017 Synthesis workshoP: a joint effort between two projects

Approximately 65 participants will assemble to advance the development of new products, synthesizing data and expertise in human and nature systems. Each participant brings to the table their unique skills and data for collaboration. These are collected and stored in our online database, which is available to all who attend. This team will focus on developing new systhesis manuscripts, models, and a database.

Synthesizing human and nature data from the Mongolian plateau

All participants are encouraged to lead a synthesis manuscript and offer co-author opportunities to others at the workshop. Authors and co-authors will closely collaborate as a team, each significantly contributing to the final product.

This workshop is supported by two on-going projects:
