The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize a workshop that seeks to identify potential future paleoclimate research directions that will help advance understanding of current and potential future change in the Earth’s climate system. Drawing upon broad community input collected via an online questionnaire, workshop discussions will address gaps in the current understanding of past climate variability and processes, and new research strategies and technological capabilities that could practically be undertaken to effectively fill these knowledge gaps. In preparation for an update of the research themes and goals of the Paleo perspectives on Climate Change (P2C2) annual competition, this project plans to engage the broad science community via online questionnaire and a workshop to identify potential priority areas for research in a possible follow-on call for proposals and beyond. Engagement with the science community at the outset will help identify themes with high potential to advance the field and that are feasible for NSF to support and for the community to tackle. The project seeks input from a broad community with efforts to achieve diversity in geographic representation, institutional affiliation, career stage, gender, and race. Additionally, identifying future research themes in paleoclimate has inherent broader impact related to the scientific and socioeconomic applications of paleoclimate research and their relevance to decision making on issues such as water management, biodiversity, infrastructure adaptation, etc. Other broader impacts include a report of the workshop and questionnaire activities, available in paper (limited quantities) and free PDF, which will be disseminated to NSF and other interested stakeholders as appropriate. The Workshop report will be made available to the public without restriction and will be posted on the National Academies Press website. The National Academies will conduct extensive outreach and engagement to ensure that the results are widely disseminated. This outreach could include briefings for agencies, briefings for Congressional offices, continued facilitation of on-line discussion forums with the broader community, briefings and webinars, presentations and sessions at relevant conferences, and other related activities.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.

美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院将组织一次研讨会，旨在确定未来潜在的古气候研究方向，这将有助于利用通过在线调查问卷收集的广泛社区意见，加深对地球气候系统当前和潜在未来变化的了解。研讨会的讨论将解决当前对过去气候变化和过程的理解中的差距，以及实际上可以采取的新的研究策略和技术能力，以有效地填补这些知识差距，为更新旧石器时代的研究主题和目标做准备。对气候变化的看法（P2C2）年度竞赛，该项目计划通过在线调查问卷和研讨会来吸引广大科学界的参与，以确定可能的后续提案征集等潜在的优先研究领域。从一开始就与科学界的接触将有所帮助。确定具有推动该领域发展潜力的主题，并且 NSF 可以支持这些主题，社区也可以解决这些主题。该项目寻求广泛社区的投入，努力实现地域代表性、机构隶属关系、职业阶段、性别和性别的多样性。此外，还确定了未来的研究主题。古气候具有固有的更广泛的影响，涉及古气候研究的科学和社会经济应用及其与水管理、生物多样性、基础设施适应等问题的决策的相关性。其他更广泛的影响包括研讨会报告和问卷活动，可在论文（数量有限）和免费 PDF，将酌情分发给 NSF 和其他感兴趣的利益相关者。研讨会报告将无限制地向公众开放，并将发布在国家科学院出版社网站上。广泛的外展和参与，以确保结果得到广泛传播。这种外展可以包括向各机构提供简报、向国会办公室提供简报、继续促进与更广泛社区的在线讨论论坛、简报和网络研讨会、在相关会议上的演示和会议。其他相关活动。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
