The question of how transdisciplinary approaches can be practiced remains a challenge, however, if the quantitative and the qualitative sciences are both to be included. To explore this question, a series of qualitative interviews was conducted with researchers involved in two recent Swiss and Swedish research programmes. In both these programmes natural and social scientists had to collaborate in problem-driven environmental research. Three findings from these interviews are discussed in this paper: (a) that the researchers have more reasons to offer for non-collaboration than for collaboration, and that most of the thinking about transdisciplinary collaboration takes place at the level of programme management, (b) that the researchers should be classified as Detached Specialists or Engaged Problem Solvers rather than as natural and social scientists, and (c) that if collaboration evolves in a problem-driven research environment it tends to take the form of division of labour. The conclusion this paper draws for problem-driven research is that, paradoxically, the pressure to produce usable results should be reduced if collaboration is to emerge.</DIV><DIV style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0030FF" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><B>***************************************************</B></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0030FF" face="Helvetica"><B>Summer Programs, Courses, Internships, Meetings, Opportunities</B></FONT></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><B>The 2006 Petry Research Prize for the Economics of Climate Change </B></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> The 2006 Petry Research Prize for the Economics of Climate Change.

The purpose of the prize is to encourage and recognize international research on the economic consequences of increased atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases. This prize is made possible by the generous support of Dr. Glen Petry of Bend, Oregon.</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> Eligibility: A prize of $7500 will be awarded for a scholarly paper published within the previous three calendar years on the economics of climate change. Economic issues can include the costs imposed by higher global temperatures or related climate effects, benefits and costs of actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, direct and secondary economic consequences of adapting or failing to adapt to climate change, international aspects of climate policy and other related topics. The paper may be theoretical or empirical but should have clear policy implications</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> Criteria: The winning paper will be selected on the following criteria: (1) quality of the research; (2) originality of methodology; and (3) scope of the investigated effect. Research on a small segment of the economy would be less important to the award than research on a broader economic effect. Research focused on a specific sector is acceptable if the paper provides an especially rigorous or original application with broader implications. Papers should be published in a peer reviewed journal.</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> Nominations: A paper must be nominated to be considered. Nominations should be sent to Professor Charles Kolstad, Donald Bren School of Environmental Science & Management, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106-5131 by April 15, 2006.

The project entails using numerical models to couple terrestrial fluxes with ocean physics and property distributions that are available from coastal ocean models and observations (satellite and field) in the Gulf of Maine. This study of the nearshore region is aimed at understanding the exchange of properties between land and ocean and thus developing methods to couple ocean models with terrestrial hydrological models. The researcher will have the opportunity to synthesize field observations from a Gulf of Maine sampling program, ocean model fields, satellite fields and terrestrial runoff estimates within a model framework. A background in ocean modeling, terrestrial runoff modeling, coastal biogeochemistry, or applying remote sensing data to model studies would be a plus. The appointment is for an initial period of 1 year, to start at the earliest.
