This award provides continued core support for the Geographical Sciences Committee (GSC) of the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine. Continued support for the GSC will enable this committee to bring academics, private sector and government researchers, and policy makers together through roundtables and studies to reach consensus on the most challenging and significant issues in the geographical sciences. The GSC will continue to provide a forum through which geographers and researchers in related fields may conduct assessments of the current state of the science and explore future research opportunities. The GSC will serve a critical intermediary role by facilitating interactions between government agencies and researchers in academic, nonprofit, and private sector settings, thereby facilitating capabilities for a broad range of researchers and organizations to engage in constructive dialogue at the interface of geographical science and policy at the national level. The committee also will advance the role that geographers and related scientists play internationally through its role as the U.S. national committee for the International Geographical Union.The National Academies established a Geographical Sciences Committee in 1997 to bring the theories and perspectives of the geographical sciences to bear on society's problems. The GSC has provided advice to the National Academies on all matters pertaining to geography. The GSC has fostered international cooperation by serving as a liaison to other national geographical organizations and by initiating collaborative research programs among those organizations, and it has served as the official U.S. liaison to the International Geographical Union (IGU), promoting and facilitating participation of U.S. geographers in the IGU. The GSC undertakes its work through the conduct of special studies and through its meetings. The GSC will identify topics for further study that enable the geographical sciences community to address problems of societal significance. The GSC also will conduct an enhanced range of outreach activities, such as webinars and workshops focusing on topics like the use of geographic information systems to make urban mobility more sustainable and long-term approaches for wildland fire management.

该奖项为国家科学，工程和医学学院的地理科学委员会（GSC）提供了持续的核心支持。 持续对GSC的支持将使该委员会能够通过圆桌会议和研究将学者，私营部门和政府研究人员和政策制定者融合在一起，以就地理科学中最具挑战性和最重要的问题达成共识。 GSC将继续提供一个论坛，通过该论坛，相关领域的地理学家和研究人员可以对科学现状进行评估并探索未来的研究机会。 GSC将通过促进政府机构与学术，非营利和私营部门的研究人员之间的互动来发挥关键的中间作用，从而促进各种研究人员和组织在国家一级地理科学和政策界面进行建设性对话的能力。 该委员会还将通过其作为美国国际地理联盟委员会的角色在国际上发挥作用的作用。国立学者在1997年成立了一个地理科学委员会，以带来地理科学的理论和观点来承担社会问题。 GSC已就与地理有关的所有事项提供了建议。 GSC通过担任其他国家地理组织的联络并启动这些组织之间的合作研究计划，促进了国际合作，并作为美国地理联盟（IGU）的官方联络，促进和促进了美国地理学家在IGU中的参与。 GSC通过进行特殊研究和会议进行工作。 GSC将确定进一步研究的主题，使地理科学社区能够解决社会意义的问题。 GSC还将进行一系列增强的外展活动，例如网络研讨会和研讨会，重点介绍了使用地理信息系统，以使城市流动性更具可持续性和长期方法来实现Wildland Fire Management。
