Human society, and all life of Earth, depends on Earth’s “near-surface” environment. The soils, water, ground water, microbes, and rock provide resources, allow construction, and shape local environments and their resilience. This is the locus of diverse natural hazards, such as landslides, volcanic hazards, earthquakes, and floods, and persistent soil and water pollution. Geoscientists have recently developed a diverse range of techniques to probe and study this environment in increasing detail, to help understand it and improve responses to these hazards and challenges. There is huge potential benefit in integrating these approaches and standardizing and sharing broadly and collectively the diverse data and observations of these studies—both for advancing science questions and for immediate societal uses and benefits, for example in planning and resilience to climate change. This proposal will survey the full near-surface research community and support a workshop to plan and develop this integration of approaches, data, and training for the future. This proposal will thus support a recommendation from the National Academies on future Earth science priorities for NSF outlined in the Earth-in Time consensus report.High-priority questions about the shallow subsurface (or uppermost ~100 m) of the Earth, where lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere meet, could be addressed with integrated near- surface geophysics instrumentation, data, and training. We propose to survey diverse scientists and bring them together in a town hall discussion and virtual workshop series to create and disseminate such an inventory and plan for future integration of diverse approaches and data, including around training to address scientific targets as well as societal needs and challenges while stressing diversity and equity broadly. The products of this work would help define the merits, and roadmap, of this integration, including the recommendation of the National Academies report Earth-in-Time for a near surface geophysical center to facilitate integrated near-surface studies. A goal of the workshop’s outcomes is to identify what the near-surface Earth Science community considers the highest-value scientific research targets as well as provide recommendations to improve education and outreach on near-surface geophysics topics to the geoscience community and related communities such as engineering and those involved in natural hazard mitigation.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.

人类社会以及地球上的所有生命都取决于地球的“近地面”环境。土壤，水，地下水，微生物和岩石提供资源，允许建筑和塑造当地环境及其韧性。这是潜水员自然危害的当地人，例如滑坡，火山危害，地震和地板，以及持续的土壤和水污染。地球科学家最近开发了各种技术范围的技术，以越来越多的细节证明和研究这种环境，以帮助理解并改善对这些危害和挑战的反应。整合这些方法以及对这些研究的潜水员数据和观察结果进行标准化和共享，这是有巨大的潜在好处，这都是为了推进科学问题和直接的社会用途和收益，例如在计划和弹性方面对气候变化的计划。该建议将调查完整的近乎表面研究社区，并支持一个研讨会，以计划和开发未来方法，数据和培训的整合。因此，该提案将支持美国国家学院对未来地球科学的优先级的建议，概述了地球时间共识报告中的NSF。关于地球的浅层地下（或最上面的〜100 m）的高优先级问题，岩石圈，水圈，生物圈，生物圈和大气相遇，可以与近距离的地球仪进行探讨，并在附近的地球仪进行介绍，并进行核对的仪器。我们建议调查多样性的人，并将它们聚集在市政厅的讨论和虚拟研讨会系列中，以创建和传播这种库存和计划，以使多样性方法和数据的未来整合，包括围绕培训，以解决科学目标以及社会需求和挑战，同时又强调多样性和公平。这项工作的产品将有助于定义该整合的优点和路线图，包括美国国家学院的建议向地面地球物理中心报告地球上的地球地球物理中心，以促进综合的近乎表面研究。研讨会成果的目标是确定近距离地球科学界考虑了最高价值的科学研究目标，并提供了建议，以改善对地球科学社区及其相关社区的近乎地形地球物理学的教育和宣传的建议优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
