This action funds Natalie Dolores Beckman-Ross of Colorado State University to conduct a research project, entitled "Comparing natural wood transport in mountain streams of Hokkaido and Colorado," during the summer of 2012 at the Department of Forest Science Graduate School of Agriculture, Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Hokkaido. The host scientist is Dr. Futoshi Nakamura.The Intellectual Merit of the research project is to add to current understanding of wood transport, log jam formation and carbon storage in headwater streams by collecting and analyzing field data from sites in Hokkaido and comparing it to previously collected data from Colorado's Front Range. The research includes quantifying the relationship between instream wood and carbon export from headwater streams, informing the management of stream ecosystems, and determining the applicability of a statistical model based on physical characteristics to a new stream and forest system. If similar factors are shown to control the wood dynamics of headwater streams in Colorado and Japan, it is possible that those factors can be used to remotely estimate stream carbon flux for other mountainous areas.The Broader Impacts of an EAPSI fellowship include providing the Fellow a first-hand research experience outside the U.S.; an introduction to the science, science policy, and scientific infrastructure of the respective location; and an orientation to the society, culture and language. These activities meet the NSF goal to educate for international collaborations early in the career of its scientists, engineers, and educators, thus ensuring a globally aware U.S. scientific workforce.

这项行动为科罗拉多州立大学的纳塔利·多洛雷斯·贝克曼·罗斯（Natalie Dolores Beckman-Ross）提供了一项研究项目，题为“比较北海道和科罗拉多州山区的天然木材运输”，2012年夏季在北北北北北北北北部北海道大学的森林森林科学科学研究生院。 主持人科学家是Futoshi Nakamura博士。该研究项目的知识分子是通过收集和分析北海道网站的现场数据，并将其与以前从科罗拉多州的Front系列中收集的数据进行比较，从而增加对木质水流中木材运输，原木果酱形成和碳存储的理解。这项研究包括量化源头水流中的木材和碳导出之间的关系，告知流生态系统的管理，并确定基于物理特征对新溪流和森林系统的统计模型的适用性。 如果显示出类似的因素来控制科罗拉多州和日本雷达流的木制动力学，则可以将这些因素用于远程估计其他山区的碳通量。各自位置的科学，科学政策和科学基础设施的简介；以及社会，文化和语言的方向。 这些活动符合NSF的目标，以在其科学家，工程师和教育工作者的职业生涯的早期对国际合作进行教育，从而确保全球意识的美国科学劳动力。
