项目摘要

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has named Dr. William Anderegg as one of the three 2023 recipients of its Alan T. Waterman Award. This award is NSF's highest honor and recognizes an outstanding researcher who is 40 years or younger or not more than 10 years beyond receipt of the Ph.D. degree, by December 31 of the year of the nomination. In addition to a medal, the awardee receives a $1 million grant over five years to support scientific research or advanced study at the institution of the recipient's choice. Dr. William “Bill” Anderegg, Director of the Wilkes Center for Climate Science and Policy and Associate Professor, School of Biological Sciences at the University of Utah is recognized for his outstanding contributions to ecological and climate change research. His novel research uses a multi-disciplinary focus to address the greatest environmental challenges facing the U.S. and the world today. Dr. Anderegg’s landmark papers on aspen forests linked the risk of drought mortality with fundamental tree physiology, the threshold loss of vascular function. He showed how physiological and ecological components of forests, such as diversity of water-transport strategies, determine forest resilience to climate stresses. He led a multi-disciplinary team of distinguished researchers to provide a new framework for forest climate mitigation in 2020 and followed up with an unprecedented and comprehensive risk analysis for the Earth’s forests over the 21st century in 2022. His work advances the basic understanding of mechanisms driving plant sensitivity to drought, with clear links to widespread tree-mortality events of the last two decades across the Western U.S. (i.e., the “megadrought”). His work elucidates the importance of biodiversity to the sustainable functioning of forest ecosystems under water-limited conditions regionally and globally and is critical to advancing the understanding of climate change and developing sustainability practices for forest ecosystems.Throughout his scientific career, Dr. Anderegg has received numerous NSF awards, including an NSF CAREER grant in 2021. He was also a recipient of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Climate and Global Change Postdoctoral Fellowship, the American Geophysical Union’s Global Environmental Change Early Career Award, and the New Phytologist Tansley Medal. Dr. Anderegg intimately integrates his research with undergraduate and graduate education, research mentorship and professional development. He has demonstrated a strong commitment to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM through his active recruitment, teaching, and training of members of historically excluded groups.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.

美国国家科学基金会 (NSF) 任命 William Anderegg 博士为 2023 年艾伦 T.沃特曼奖的三位获奖者之一。该奖项是 NSF 的最高荣誉，旨在表彰 40 岁或以下或不超过 10 岁的杰出研究人员。获得博士学位后的几年内，到提名当年的 12 月 31 日为止。除了奖章外，获奖者还将在五年内获得 100 万美元的资助，用于支持科学研究或高级研究。威廉·“比尔”·安德雷格博士是获奖者选择的机构，他是犹他大学威尔克斯气候科学与政策中心主任兼生物科学学院副教授，因其对生态和气候变化研究的杰出贡献而受到认可。安德雷格博士的新颖研究采用多学科重点来解决当今美国和世界面临的最大环境挑战，他关于白杨森林的里程碑式论文将干旱死亡风险与基本的树木生理学（血管功能丧失的阈值）联系起来。他展示了森林的生理和生态组成部分（例如水输送策略的多样性）如何决定森林对气候压力的抵御能力。他领导了一个由杰出研究人员组成的多学科团队，为 2020 年森林气候缓解提供了新的框架，并进行了后续研究。对 2022 年 21 世纪地球森林进行了前所未有的全面风险分析。他的工作增进了对植物对干旱敏感的机制的基本理解，与过去二十年美国西部广泛的树木死亡事件有明确的联系。（即“特大干旱”）。他的工作阐明了生物多样性对区域和全球水资源有限条件下森林生态系统可持续运作的重要性，对于增进对气候变化的理解和制定森林生态系统的可持续性做法至关重要。在他的科学生涯中，Anderegg 博士获得了众多 NSF 奖项，包括 2021 年 NSF 职业补助金。他还是美国国家海洋和大气管理局气候与全球变化奖的获得者安德雷格博士将他的研究与本科生和研究生教育、研究指导和专业发展紧密结合起来。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过利用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响进行评估，认为值得支持。审查标准。
