Extractions: HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE In the late 1950s Indian and American scientists began collaboration on agricultural research with support from PL480 funds. In 1960s these collaborations spread to other fields, witnessing the establishment of such organisations of excellence as Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur NCERT SOME LANDMARKS Some other illustrative landmarks of yesteryears in Indo-US cooperation are: US contribution towards the Indian ' Green Revolution
Extractions: USA National Science Foundation Director visits A key event in 1999 for the science community engaged in collaboration with the USA was the visit by the Director of the NSF, Dr Rita Colwell, who addressed a full house at the CSIRO Discovery Centre in Canberra on 23 August. She spoke of the NSF budget of $US 4b out of a national budget of $1.7 trillion, and its priority areas of Biocomplexity, IT, and the 21st Century Workforce. The NSF web site makes clear that foreign organisations like CSIRO are not normally eligible for NSF funding ( http://www.nsf.gov) , although Dr Colwell pointed out out that the NSF funds 30 new joint US-Australia projects per year. She mentioned the possibility of future collaboration in biocomplexity, for instance, and NSF's links with DISR, the Australian Research Council (ARC) and DETYA. In the meantime CSIRO and the ARC have commissioned CHI International to examine the extent to which patents lodged in the USA cite Australian scientific publications. Overview of CSIRO links with the USA The field in which CSIRO has the most collaborative activities with the USA (10% of CSIRO activities with the USA) remains radio-astronomy, reflecting both CSIRO's expertise in this field and Australia's position as a leader amongst its Southern Hemisphere partners. A further 9% of joint activities are in atmospheric research, including climate change modelling. Crop sciences, entomology, marine research, and molecular science and technology are the other major areas of collaboration and exchange. In addition, 38% of projects with the USA are commercial-in-confidence, reflecting a substantial engagement with the private sector.

Background The Indus River is one of the world's great rivers. It rises in the Himalayas, and flows throughout the whole of Pakistan before entering the Arabian Sea via the Indus delta east of the city of Karachi. The river and its impact on the surrounding countryside via its dams, barrages, and unique canal systems, affects the working conditions and living standards of virtually the entire population of Pakistan. This is particularly true of the coastal zone near Karachi, where the mangrove swamps of the Indus Delta are subjected to huge population pressures and massive pollution problems. The Indus Delta and related coastal zone constitutes one of the most globally important coastal environments for mangrove swamps and related habitats. It has extremely high levels of biodiversity, and is of great economic importance for fisheries, aquaculture and mineral resources. However it is also becoming progressively polluted by man's activities and impact, and is likely to be further endangered by the effects of global warming and sea level rise in the 21st century. Overall aims of link Major activities of the link so far A three day workshop on "Coastal Zone Management and Environmental Impact Assessment" was held in 1998 at the British Council, Karachi. This is being published as a short handbook in 2000.

Extractions: Recommendations by Educational Threads The recommendations stem from the consensus of the workshop participants that a Center for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence (COSEE) should be established. Although the recommendations are strategies for COSEE to consider, the organizational structure of COSEE was not discussed in the full workshop until the final session. A summary of that discussion is presented in Appendix 4 COLLABORATIONS, LINKAGES, AND LIAISONS Guidelines for Reading the Recommendations The workshop recommendations are presented in two sections. The first section, "Recommendations by Educational Sector," are the recommendations for each sector of Ocean Sciences education: Informal, K-8, Grades 9-12, Undergraduate, Teacher Preparation and Teacher Enhancement/Professional Development (including undergraduate faculty), and Ocean Sciences Research and Information Technology. The recommendations consist of strategies for responding to the educational opportunities identified. The second section of recommendations, "Recommendations by Educational Threads," are recommendations that cross all sectors. A certain amount of redundancy is included for continuity. A Glossary (Appendix 8) explains abbreviations and certain other terms.

Prototype incomplete instructions on how to proceed through the activities. 4. Relevancy ofmaterial to oceanography not addressed. 5. No collaborative process embedded http://ldt.stanford.edu/~lmalcolm/marvesite/redesign/prototype.htm
Extractions: The goal of the prototype is to produce a redesign that maintains an authentic discovery process, while removing the frustration and confusion felt by students using the original MARVE. We accomplished this goal by simplifying the interface and introducing new elements that create a cohesive experience. The result is a learning environment that enables students to make connections between the exploration activity and larger concepts in the field of oceanography. We chose to provide a conceptual base for the learning experience through the creation of a Mission. The Mission becomes the core of the experience and informs all activity within the environment. The mission provides context and relevancy to the underwater experience, tying the students actions to a controversial topic in the field of oceanography. The diagram to the right shows our embedded approach to the design of the prototype. First, we decided to frame the mission within the context of the learning goals. The mission then informed the design of the journal. Finally, we produced an agent that guides the student from the overall learning goals to the mission, and then to the journal.

Extractions: I accompanied David Jupp (Science Coordinator, CSIRO Earth Observation Centre) to the 3 rd We arrived in Beijing very late on the night of the 12 October to find the city covered in a smog of gritty dust which restricted visibility down to a couple of blocks. The morning of the first day was spent listening to speeches from the dignitaries including the Australian Ambassador Richard Smith and Russell Reichelt who talked of the work at AIMS and CSIRO DMR. Overall I sensed a keen willingness on both sides towards collaborative projects and was staggered by the scale of scientific effort in China. Figures such as 19 million science and technology personnel and over 5800 research institutes are difficult to comprehend! The central government in China (Social Council) maintains a keen interest in science, technology and education. It plays an active role by initiating national policies in this area. One of these is the so-called 863 Program announced in March 1986 (hence 863). Under the Marine Technology component of this program are subcomponents dealing with: ACTIVITIES

Pilskaln University of Maine, Orono, ME 04469 Vernon S. Asper University of Southern Mississippi Stennis Space Center, MS 39529 During the 1998-99 austral summer, a field-based Southern Ocean research program was initiated through a collaborative agreement between the United States agencies of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Science Foundation, and the Chinese Arctic and Antarctic Administration (Beijing), the State Oceanic Administration (SOA) of China, and the Chinese Polar Research Institute (Shanghai). The primary scientific objectives of the collaboration are to measure the production and export (or flux) of particulate organic matter in the Indian Ocean Sector of the Southern Ocean, specifically within the region of Prydz Bay ( figure 1 ). Such measurements are necessary to quantify the amount of atmospheric carbon that is removed to the interior ocean via biological processes, thus representing a potentially significant factor involved in global carbon cycling budgets. The present project is a first-time field collaboration between the United States and the Chinese to study carbon production and export dynamics in the Southern Ocean.
