The Board on Earth Sciences and Resources (BESR) provides a focal point for National Research Council activities related to the earth sciences. Under the auspices of the Board, standing committees and ad hoc committees provide independent advice to the federal government on a wide range of earth science issues, including research, the environment, natural hazards, resources, data, and education. It also provides guidance related to U.S. participation in international earth science programs. The standing committees of the Board are Committee on Earth Resources; Geographical Sciences Committee; Committee on Geological and Geotechnical Engineering; Committee on Geophysical and Environmental Data; Committee on Seismology and Geodynamics; and Mapping Science Committee. Presently, BESR is overseeing eleven ad hoc studies with the several more expected to begin in 2011. Studies presently under way are: Deep-Time Geologic Records for Understanding Climate-Change Impact; Increasing National Resilience to Hazards and Disasters; Management and Effects of Coalbed Methane Development and Produced Water in the Western United States; National Earthquake Resilience - Research, Implementation, and Outreach; National Requirements for Precision Geodetic Infrastructure; New Research Directions for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA): A Workshop; New Research Opportunities in the Earth Sciences at the National Science Foundation; Private-Public Sector Collaboration to Enhance Community Disaster Resilience; Sea-Level Rise in California, Oregon, and Washington; Spatial Data Enabling USGS Strategic Science in the 21st Century; Underground Geoengineering for Sustainable Development; and Uranium Mining in Virginia.

地球科学和资源委员会（BESR）为与地球科学有关的国家研究委员会活动提供了一个焦点。在董事会的主持下，常务委员会和临时委员会就广泛的地球科学问题向联邦政府提供了独立的建议，包括研究，环境，自然危害，资源，数据和教育。它还提供与美国参与国际地球科学计划有关的指导。董事会常务委员会是地球资源委员会；地理科学委员会；地质与岩土工程委员会；地球物理和环境数据委员会；地震学和地球动力学委员会；和映射科学委员会。目前，BESR正在监督11项临时研究，其中几项预计将于2011年开始。目前正在进行的研究是：深层地质记录，以理解气候变化的影响；增加民族对危害和灾难的韧性；煤层甲烷开发和产生水的管理和影响；国家地震弹性 - 研究，实施和外展；国家对精确测量基础设施的要求；国家地理空间 - 智能机构（NGA）的新研究指示：研讨会；国家科学基金会地球科学的新研究机会；私营部门的合作，以增强社区灾难的复原力；加利福尼亚，俄勒冈州和华盛顿的海平面上升；空间数据使USGS战略科学在21世纪；地下地球工程可持续发展；和弗吉尼亚州的铀开采。
