Y2Y workplan over a three-year period. The Science Coordinator will work
closely with the Y2Y Coordinating Committee and its staff, the
"Conservation Plans 2000" Committee which provides guidance in development
of regional conservation plan design and mapping, and with groups and
committees from the sub-regions comprising the Y2Y, working on the same
tasks:
1) Coordinate and facilitate science-related aspects of the "Conservation
Plans 2000" program, which is the design and integration of seven
science-informed regional conservation plans into a single conservation
plan for all of the Y2Y. Primary duties include:
* Take lead responsibility for organizing biologists and other experts in
order to establish a) general science guidelines for conservation plans,
b) GIS data standards for regional mapping of proposed conservation plans,
and c) standards or guidelines for the integration of aquatics and
fisheries data with terrestrial data in order to produce integrated
conservation plans;
* Assist regional conservation planning groups in the development of the
science component of the workplans for each of seven regions;
* establish a science advisory panel and a network of scientists and others
ready to help regional and Y2Y-wide conservation plan efforts, including
any necessary research;
* work with other Y2Y staff to accumulate scientific materials from a
variety of sources and identify knowledge gaps, prepare and disseminate
materials relevant to 7 regional mapping charettes;
* help identify and initiate independent research needed to fill
information gaps for the conservation plans and facilitate engagement of
the scientific community in the mapping process, particularly in the
development of hypothesis that test the effectiveness of regional
conservation plans;
* resource the regional charettes; identify, track down and deliver
scientific/spatial data sets to contracted GIS experts working in each
region and insure standardization in mapping;
* oversee the compilation of the maps from each region into one Y2Y-wide map;
* oversee the scientific review, ground-truthing, and revisions of the
Y2Y-wide map;

plans;
* work as a liaison between scientists in the conservation planning process
(both at the Y2Y-wide and regional levels) and the Y2Y Coordinating
Committee and Council
2) Coordinate and facilitate the Biosciences component of the Y2Y workplan.
The maps produced for the year 2,000 will be based on biological
information. Further biological questions will need to be answered to
refine the conservation plans. This component addresses that need. Primary
duties include:
* assist with identification of research priorities and the information
needed to develop defensible science-based conservation plans;
* design and host periodic meetings and workshops with key Y2Y scientists
regarding specific areas of bioscience interest, to review the progress of
Y2Y science and to establish new directions and projects and to provide
overall advise to those undertaking mapping efforts;
* oversee and manage specific Y2Y science research contracts;
* oversee the storage and coordination of Y2Y data;
* oversee and manage the publication of materials arising from any of the
above;
* assist in the development of outreach materials with science components.
