National Center for Earth-surface Dynamics 2: the past and future EarthChristopher Paola, Efi Foufoula-Georgiou, Patrick Hamilton, Vaughn VollerUniversity of Minnesota, EAR-1246761ABSTRACTThe National Center for Earth-surface Dynamics (NCED) is an NSF Science and Technology Center (STC) focused on predicting the evolution of the coupled geomorphic-ecological systems of the Earth?s surface. NCED created the first national center anywhere focused on the integrated Earth-surface environment, and sunset as an STC in July 2012. This grant is to continue a small core of the most successful and community-centric programs developed under NCED in a new format. Its goal is to perpetuate the legacy of NCED in an innovative form that will engage the broader research community by focusing activity around an annual research theme that will bring together experimental, theoretical, and field researchers. The funding will be used mainly to support young scientists, especially pre-tenure faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students. Beyond its direct research contributions, among NCED?s most important community benefits have been (1) its ?extended family? model for mentoring students and postdocs; (2) hosting community activities such as workshops and shared field and experimental facilities; (3) serving as a focal point to help catalyze and launch new programs ? for example, the new AGU focus group, the new journal JGR-ES, and the IYD, all launched during NCED?s tenure with leadership from NCED participants; (4) hosting focused, ambitious research activities that afforded opportunities for community participation through extended visits; (5) close integration of research with informal education and Native American education, by development of a long-term working partnership with key institutions and people; and (6) hosting workshops and summer institutes, both strongly focused on young scientists. With this grant, NCED2 is a set of linked programs; the central theme will be a program of research theme years focused on key emerging areas in Earth-surface Dynamics (ESD). The theme years will include workshops, experiments, postdoc opportunities, visitor programs from undergraduate through faculty level, and informal education and Native American activities. These linked program components will allow a broad range of ESD scientists to collaborate in new ways, enhancing and accelerating their individual efforts to advance ESD. The focus of NCED2 is embodied in the proposal title: the past and future Earth. Building on the legacy of the NCED STC, PIs work will be centered on predicting the Earth-surface environment, combining observations of modern and past surface systems, experiments, and a full spectrum of theoretical approaches. The proposed NCED2 would provide the ESD research community with a set of new ways to collaborate, through theme-year research with many points of entry: shared synthesis postdocs; visits by graduate and undergraduate students, and faculty, to take part in collaborative research and interact with new people, methods, and ideas; workshops; summer institutes; and a virtual research commons for informal exchange among the broad ESD community. It would provide access to experimental and other facilities not available at most institutions, and to the extensive network of researchers created in the ten years of the NCED STC. The research results will accelerate development of predictive Earth-surface dynamics, forming the basis for evaluating the future of the surface environment ? the arena for most life and human activity ? in a world of changing climate and growing human influence. The results will support decision-making on topics ranging from river restoration and management to rebuilding deltaic wetlands. By continuing the strong program NCED has built for informal education with the Science Museum of Minnesota (SMM), NCED2 will continue to provide a venue for energetic, multi-faceted, two-way communication about our planet?s dynamic surface with the public ? a program that has now reached international dimensions with the SMM-led Water Exhibition. Finally, NCED2 will continue its commitment to building bridges and partnerships with the Native American community through our Native American Water Resources, Manoomin, Climate Change Partnership, giiwed?anang Minnesota Undergraduate AISES Alliance, and Geoscience Alliance programs. The last of these in particular has now evolved to a national-scale program to foster Native American environmental education.

国家地表动力学中心 2：地球的过去和未来Christopher Paola、Efi Foufoula-Georgiou、Patrick Hamilton、Vaughn Voller 明尼苏达大学，EAR-1246761摘要国家地表动力学中心 (NCED) 是 NSF 科学技术中心 ( STC）专注于预测地球表面耦合地貌-生态系统的演化。 NCED 创建了第一个专注于综合地球表面环境的国家中心，并于 2012 年 7 月作为 STC 日落。这笔赠款旨在继续以新的形式继续 NCED 开发的最成功和以社区为中心的项目的一小部分核心。其目标是以创新形式延续 NCED 的遗产，通过围绕年度研究主题开展活动，吸引更广泛的研究界，将实验、理论和现场研究人员聚集在一起。这笔资金将主要用于支持年轻科学家，特别是预聘教师、博士后研究人员和研究生。 除了直接的研究贡献之外，NCED 最重要的社区效益还包括 (1) 其“大家庭”。指导学生和博士后的模型； (2) 举办研讨会、共享场地和实验设施等社区活动； (3) 作为帮助催化和启动新计划的联络点 ?例如，新的 AGU 焦点小组、新期刊 JGR-ES 和 IYD，都是在 NCED 任职期间在 NCED 参与者的领导下推出的； (4) 举办重点突出、雄心勃勃的研究活动，通过长期访问为社区提供参与机会； (5) 通过与主要机构和人员建立长期工作伙伴关系，将研究与非正式教育和美洲原住民教育紧密结合； (6) 举办研讨会和暑期学院，两者都重点关注年轻科学家。 有了这笔资助，NCED2 成为一组链接的程序；中心主题将是一个研究主题年计划，重点关注地球表面动力学（ESD）的关键新兴领域。主题年将包括研讨会、实验、博士后机会、从本科生到教师级别的访问者项目，以及非正式教育和美洲原住民活动。这些链接的项目组件将使广泛的 ESD 科学家能够以新的方式进行合作，增强和加速他们推进 ESD 的个人努力。 NCED2的重点体现在提案标题：过去与未来的地球。在 NCED STC 的基础上，PI 的工作将集中于预测地球表面环境，结合对现代和过去表面系统的观测、实验和全方位的理论方法。拟议的 NCED2 将为 ESD 研究界提供一系列新的合作方式，通过具有多个切入点的主题年研究：共享综合博士后；研究生、本科生和教师来访，参与合作研究并与新人、新方法和新想法互动；研讨会；暑期学院；以及一个虚拟研究共享空间，用于广泛的 ESD 社区之间的非正式交流。它将提供大多数机构不具备的实验设施和其他设施，以及 NCED STC 十年来创建的广泛研究人员网络。研究成果将加速预测地球表面动力学的发展，为评估地表环境的未来奠定基础？大多数生命和人类活动的舞台？在气候不断变化和人类影响力日益增强的世界中。研究结果将支持从河流恢复和管理到重建三角洲湿地等主题的决策。通过继续实施 NCED 与明尼苏达科学博物馆 (SMM) 为非正式教育建立的强大计划，NCED2 将继续为公众提供一个充满活力、多方面、双向交流的场所，以了解我们星球的动态表面。该项目现已通过 SMM 主导的水展达到国际规模。最后，NCED2 将继续致力于通过我们的美洲原住民水资源、马努明、气候变化伙伴关系、giiwed?anang 明尼苏达州本科生 AISES 联盟和地球科学联盟项目，与美洲原住民社区建立桥梁和伙伴关系。其中最后一项现已发展成为一项全国范围的计划，以促进美洲原住民环境教育。
