This U.S - Chile Planning Visit proposal will support five senior researchers and three graduate students from the U.S., under the direction of Dr. Terry Jordan of Cornell University, on a planning visit to Chile. The project brings together an interdisciplinary team of geoscientists, economists, and engineers from Chile and the U.S. The U.S. investigators will collaborate intensively with colleagues from Pontificia Universidad Católica, Universidad del Desarollo, and Universidad Católica del Norte in Chile. Researchers will develop a plan to investigate water sustainability in a changing natural environment and under increased pressure from human withdrawals. The team will visit the Calamana Basin in Northern Chile to develop concepts, quantify uncertainties and impacts, and model water management choices. This research would also provide a systems analysis that would be applicable for other semi-arid to arid regions such as southwest U.S. The visit will involve five senior U.S. researchers, two who are female, and three graduate students. It has the potential to generate long-term interdisciplinary collaborations in sustainability science between U.S. and Chilean researchers and further our understanding of water management choices.

这项美国-智利规划访问提案将支持来自美国的五名高级研究人员和三名研究生在康奈尔大学特里·乔丹博士的指导下对智利进行规划访问。该项目汇集了一个由地球科学家、经济学家组成的跨学科团队。以及来自智利和美国的工程师。美国调查人员将与天主教宗座大学、Desarollo 大学和天主教大学的同事密切合作研究人员将制定一项计划，调查不断变化的自然环境和人类取水带来的更大压力下的水可持续性。该团队将访问智利北部的卡拉马纳盆地，以开发概念、量化不确定性和影响，并建立水管理模型。这项研究还将提供适用于美国西南部等其他半干旱到干旱地区的系统分析。此次访问将涉及五名美国高级研究人员，其中两名是女性，还有三名研究生。产生长期影响的潜力美国和智利研究人员之间在可持续发展科学方面的跨学科合作，进一步加深了我们对水管理选择的理解。
