This award provides support to U.S. researchers participating in a project competitively selected by a 9-country initiative on global change research through the Belmont Forum. The Belmont Forum is a consortium of research funding organizations representing over 55 countries focused on support for transdisciplinary approaches to global environmental change challenges and opportunities. It aims to accelerate delivery of the international research most urgently needed to remove critical barriers to sustainability by aligning and mobilizing international resources. Each partner country provides funding for their researchers within a consortium to alleviate the need for funds to cross international borders. This approach facilitates effective leveraging of national resources to support excellent research on topics of global relevance best tackled through a multinational approach, recognizing that global challenges need global solutions. This award provides support for the U.S. researchers to cooperate in consortia that consist of partners from at least three of the participating countries. The research teams will work to identify sustainable pathways to help alleviate the increasing and unprecedented pressure on the natural resources that interact to provide sustainable life support systems and essential benefits to societies such as food production and water quality and quantity. The impacts of changes in land management and urbanization will be evaluated to develop sustainable soils and groundwater management options that will help create and maintain sustainable terrestrial ecosystems. This project will focus on understanding the long-term response of the Earth’s Critical Zone to environmental, societal and economic drivers. The Critical Zone is the heterogeneous, near surface environment where complex interactions involving rock, soil, water, air, and living organisms regulate the natural habitat and determine the availability of life-sustaining resources. This project will focus on the tropical socio-ecosystems of Western Central Africa, and the Arctic and sub-arctic zones of the Western Siberian Lowlands. These regions are now increasingly impacted by accelerated global changes with the predictable degradation of soil and groundwater systems, which could potentially lead to huge emissions of greenhouse gases and to vast carbon and nutrient exports from land to oceans. The project will create an operational research and innovation framework on climate change, land use/cover, carbon cycle and soils, surface water, and groundwater sustainability, to improve soil, surface and groundwater knowledge, management, and policy from the local to regional scale. The research team will work with relevant stakeholders to develop and implement the results of the project to raise awareness of soil, water, climate change, carbon cycle and sustainability of Critical Zone and river and lake groundwater, and threats related to their degradation.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.

该奖项为参与由 9 个国家的全球变化研究倡议通过贝尔蒙特论坛竞争性选出的项目的美国研究人员提供支持。贝尔蒙特论坛是一个由代表超过 55 个国家的研究资助组织组成的联盟，致力于支持全球跨学科方法。它旨在通过协调和调动国际资源为其研究人员提供资金，以减轻对可持续发展的资金需求，从而加速开展最迫切需要的国际研究，以消除可持续发展的关键障碍。这种方法有助于有效利用国家资源，支持最好通过跨国方法解决的全球相关主题的优秀研究，认识到全球挑战需要全球解决方案，该奖项为美国研究人员在联盟中进行合作提供支持。来自至少三个参与国的合作伙伴将致力于确定可持续的途径，以帮助减轻自然资源日益增加的前所未有的压力，这些资源相互作用，为社会提供可持续的生命支持系统和基本利益，例如粮食生产和发展。水质和水量变化的影响。该项目将评估土地管理和城市化方面的问题，以制定可持续的土壤和地下水管理方案，帮助创建和维护可持续的陆地生态系统。该项目将重点了解地球关键区对环境、社会和经济驱动因素的长期反应。关键区是异质的近地表环境，其中涉及岩石、土壤、水、空气和生物体的复杂相互作用调节自然栖息地并决定维持生命的资源的可用性。该项目将重点关注热带社会生态系统。西中非以及西西伯利亚低地的北极和亚北极地区现在越来越受到全球变化加速的影响，土壤和地下水系统可预测退化，这可能导致温室气体大量排放，并导致大量温室气体排放。该项目将创建一个关于气候变化、土地利用/覆盖、碳循环和土壤、地表水和地下水可持续性的业务研究和创新框架，以改善土壤、地表水和地下水的知识和管理。 ，以及政策研究团队将与相关利益相关者合作，制定和实施该项目的成果，以提高人们对土壤、水、气候变化、碳循环和关键区域以及河流和湖泊地下水的可持续性以及与相关威胁的认识。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。
