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. As groundwater extraction increases worldwide, generating a range of economic and ecological impacts, many countries are implementing regulation systems to restrict groundwater use. Implementation of these restrictions is often problematic resulting in low regulatory compliance. This project seeks to demonstrate that well-designed stakeholder processes can deliver socially accepted management rules with higher compliance, thereby enhancing groundwater long-term sustainability. The project focuses on how effective stakeholder involvement impacts stakeholder groundwater literacy, develops capacity to think long-term and capture trade-offs, and contributes to developing innovative regulations. The research team will investigate whether a paradigm shift from narrowly defined groundwater management practices of limiting water abstraction to conjunctive soil and groundwater management which focuses on managing "net water extraction" accounting for retention and recharge can improve regulatory compliance. The project will rely on 7 transdisciplinary case studies in France, the United States and Taiwan to engage in collective learning and the identification of pre-conditions for successful stakeholder processes delivering socially accepted groundwater management schemes.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，致力于支持跨学科方法应对全球环境变化的挑战和机遇。 它旨在通过调整和调动国际资源，加速交付最迫切需要的国际研究，以消除可持续发展的关键障碍。每个伙伴国家都在一个联盟内为其研究人员提供资金，以减轻跨境资金的需求。这种方法有助于有效利用国家资源，支持最好通过多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由至少三个参与国的合作伙伴组成的联盟中进行合作提供支持。 研究小组将努力确定可持续的途径，以帮助减轻自然资源日益增加的前所未有的压力，这些自然资源相互作用，为社会提供可持续的生命支持系统和基本利益，如粮食生产、水质和水量。 将评估土地管理和城市化变化的影响，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。 随着全球地下水开采量的增加，产生一系列经济和生态影响，许多国家正在实施监管制度来限制地下水的使用。这些限制的实施通常会出现问题，导致监管合规性较低。 该项目旨在证明精心设计的利益相关者流程可以提供社会认可的、具有更高合规性的管理规则，从而增强地下水的长期可持续性。 该项目重点关注利益相关者的有效参与如何影响利益相关者的地下水素养，培养长期思考和权衡取舍的能力，并有助于制定创新法规。研究小组将调查从限制取水的狭义地下水管理实践到注重管理“净水抽取”以保留和补给的土壤和地下水联合管理的范式转变是否可以提高监管合规性。该项目将依靠法国、美国和台湾的 7 个跨学科案例研究来进行集体学习，并确定利益相关者流程成功交付社会认可的地下水管理计划的先决条件。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被视为值得通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
