Major knowledge gaps exist in STEM relating to water, including how and why climate change will impact water, how hydrological changes will differently impact different communities throughout the Southwest and elsewhere, and how Indigenous communities have addressed water issues, especially with regard to climate change adaptation and dispossession. But exploration of past and present-day environments and uses and understandings of water can provide critical information, transforming the ability to understand the processes impacting water and the relationship to water and various cultures in the long-term. Therefore this program will develop and braid together different strands of research from multiple disciplines as new windows into the regional impacts of rising greenhouse gas levels on the water cycle and climate. The research will be transformative in that it will examine and share diverse perspectives on the water cycle, including what water is and how people use, value, and steward it, how different fields and people approach questions about water in the context of environmental change, what different disciplinary and cultural perspectives are on water sustainability and histories in a region, and how these diverse perspectives on water inform the ways we think and communicate about environmental futures. Taken together, these multiple interwoven strands will help us construct a more comprehensive picture of how and why rainfall and evaporation have responded to climate change and will thus provide a means to evaluate climate model skill and representation, while gathering data on water issues, past, present, and future, facing Indigenous communities whose waters are in the region, and developing and piloting an inclusive science model.This proposal seeks to bring together and share diverse perspectives on water through convergence research, which is referred to as braiding knowledge, which will help navigate towards solutions that could address environmental challenges in the Southwestern United States. It also will represent a model for convergence research on water in other regions, and climate change more broadly, beyond this project. Knowledge of deep history, obtained through geoscience, ethnography, and archaeology, can inform science, support Indigenous sovereignty, and guide decision-making at tribal, regional, and national levels. Knowledge of community water values and needs can and should inform water management and science. Braided, this knowledge can support climate change adaptation. The specific goals of the project are:- To use novel interdisciplinary approaches to constrain how and why precipitation and evaporation rates respond to changing climate forcing in different regions of the Southwest.- To gather data on the water issues, past and present, facing Indigenous communities whose waters are in, or are conveyed to, the Los Angeles basin, and other regions.- To broaden participation through inclusive practices with the adaptation and assessment of a new inclusive science model to the geosciences and environmental science.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

STEM 中与水相关的主要知识差距，包括气候变化如何以及为何影响水、水文变化将如何对整个西南地区和其他地区的不同社区产生不同的影响，以及土著社区如何解决水问题，特别是在气候变化适应方面和剥夺。但是，对过去和现在的环境以及对水的利用和理解的探索可以提供关键信息，从长远来看，转变对影响水的过程以及与水和各种文化的关系的理解能力。因此，该计划将开发和整合来自多个学科的不同研究领域，作为了解温室气体水平上升对水循环和气候的区域影响的新窗口。这项研究将具有变革性，因为它将审视和分享关于水循环的不同观点，包括水是什么以及人们如何使用、重视和管理水，不同领域和人们如何在环境变化的背景下处理有关水的问题，对于一个地区的水可持续性和历史有哪些不同的学科和文化观点，以及这些关于水的不同观点如何影响我们对环境未来的思考和交流方式。总而言之，这些相互交织的线索将帮助我们更全面地了解降雨和蒸发如何以及为何对气候变化做出反应，从而提供一种评估气候模型技能和代表性的方法，同时收集有关水问题、过去、当前和未来，面向该地区水域的土著社区，开发和试点包容性科学模型。该提案旨在通过融合研究（称为编织知识）汇集和分享关于水的不同观点，帮助找到解决方案可以解决美国西南部的环境挑战。它还将代表一个模型，用于其他地区的水和更广泛的气候变化研究，超越本项目。通过地球科学、民族志和考古学获得的深厚历史知识可以为科学提供信息，支持原住民主权，并指导部落、区域和国家层面的决策。了解社区水的价值和需求可以而且应该为水管理和科学提供信息。这些知识编织起来可以支持气候变化适应。该项目的具体目标是： - 使用新颖的跨学科方法来限制西南不同地区降水和蒸发率如何以及为何响应不断变化的气候强迫。 - 收集土著居民过去和现在面临的水问题的数据水域位于或输送到洛杉矶盆地和其他地区的社区。- 通过包容性实践扩大参与，对地球科学和环境科学新的包容性科学模型进行调整和评估。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命和通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，该项目被认为值得支持。
