Project Summary
The potential cost reductions for data searching, accessing and processing in GC research can greatly benefit scientists. New GCR approaches have been made possible from the evolution of data infrastructure under the GEOSS. Following the last APN project in 2009 on the introduction of such new data facilities and processes in Mongolia, this new proposal will focus on live demonstrations and study approaches from the rebuilding of some typical GCR study cases (lake-ice changing in China Tibet, land-cover changing in Mongolia).

Project Summary
Comprehensive collection of new data is often prohibitively costly, however, often data does exist - locked away in formats or archives inaccessible to the decision maker. The proposed activity would be the initial phase of a programme of work aiming to build capacity within countries to increase access to and appropriate use of existing data - enabling countries to be ready to contribute to global assessment processes as well as addressing EBM and MSP challenges.

The proposed training workshop will build capacity to conduct research on one of the central themes of the human dimensions of global environmental change: transitions toward sustainable societies/”Green Economy”. It will allow participants to explore ways and means of how to transform scientific input for policy processes such as UNCSD 2012 and how to use practitioners input for the formulation and implementation of research projects. IHDP will invite leading scholars to provide training modules addressing cutting-edge human dimensions research in their respective fields and it will continue its successful collaboration with APN in building research capacity in the region.

Taxonomy is regarded as one of the bases of biodiversity and is required to establish certain objective standards to identify alien species, together with traditional morphological approaches. Identification methodology using genetic markers is nowadays recognized to reinforce the shortage of the traditional approach. The project aims to provide capacity building/training for young researchers from the developing countries of the Asia–Pacific region on biological identification analysis using genetic markers in the field of phycology taxonomy to contribute to national-level biodiversity conservation. It also aims to contribute to the Parties of the Convention on Biodiversity through: 1) facilitating taxonomical information exchange among young researchers from Southeast Asian nations who master this capacity development course; 2) promoting the establishment of a network among traditional morphological taxonomy groups; and 3) seeking involvement in the PICES’ network to foster information exchange.
