Editorial: The pacific science association and human dimensions research in the asia-pacific region

摘要

The Pacific Science Association (PSA) was established as an interdisciplinary scientific organization almost 100 years ago, unique at that time both in terms of its interdisciplinary nature and its broad geographic scope. The Association brings together the scientific communities, interests, and research of the nations and states on the rim of the Pacific Ocean, importantly including the islands spanning its breadth. PSA remains distinctive and forward-looking in an increasingly globalized world. Pacific Science became the official publication of the PSA in 2001.
