Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

This summer field workshop, a key activity for our LIASE Implementation project, is designed to establish an institutional structure that brings together American and Chinese faculty and students representing a variety of disciplines in confronting major environmental problems. This initiative stems from the common teaching\/research experiences at Vassar and our partner universities. For example, Vassar College has organized multidisciplinary studies of a local waterway, the Casperkill, where environmental scientists from Chemistry, Biology, and Geography have worked with students in ongoing, a joint study of water quality and related matters. Both ECNU and CCNU have a tradition of intensive field study summer sessions, during which students and faculty work together to examine environmental or social problems from a multidisciplinary perspective. These workshops draw on preexisting experience and structures, but enhance both by adding the dimension of international collaboration.<\/p>\n
