As per original proposal-see below.Whether at the scale of a field, a village, a city, a country, or a continent, geology is fundamental to understanding human-environment interactions and delivering the UN SDGs. This project will, for the first time, integrate BGS research on groundwater, soils, minerals, energy, urban planning, environmental modelling, and geohazards. Such an approach will deliver applied science that positively impacts on lives, livelihoods, and the natural environment.Three interlinked Research Platforms (RPs) will help address the development needs of up to 13 countries on the DAC list of ODA recipients (our ODA partners). Key to success is research co-designed and delivered with our partners, sharing experience and building capacity to ensure effective knowledge and data exchange. We aim to leave behind a long-term legacy of UK-international interdisciplinary research networks.Eastern Africa (RP1) faces severe natural resource challenges due to exponential population growth, rapid urbanisation, and economic development. BGS has strong and diverse research experience in this region. We will build on this to address the responsible use of natural resources by: (i) quantifying how climate and human stressors impact water resources and identifying the appropriate water abstraction technologies and how these are governed to ensure they remain functional in the long term; (ii) enhancing the understanding of the mineral and energy resource potential in the region to facilitate informed policy development, support effective governance mechanisms, and aid inward investment; and (iii) using geological science to increase agricultural productivity and tackle micronutrient deficiencies by carrying out research linking bedrock geology and minerals to soil type thus informing decisions on improving soil quality, use of fertilisers, water retention, and plant nutrition. Asian cities (RP2) are exposed to multiple natural hazards, the pace of urbanisation is often overwhelming and their resilience to environmental change unknown. Our research will: (i) identify how innovative use of data-informatics, sensor technologies, and modelling systems can improve urban planning; (ii) assess the effect of multiple environmental and demographic stresses on the city and its rural catchment, and the extent to which further urbanisation can be sustained; and (iii) determine inter-dependencies between human and Earth systems in cities, and whether this understanding can be used to make city services more resilient.Natural geological hazards and their associated risk (RP3), including volcanoes, earthquakes, and landslides, and their impacts, are of key concern to long-term economic growth. Our research, focused on Latin America and the Caribbean, and the regions covered by RPs 1 and 2, will: (i) advance research into environmental processes and the interactions of multi-hazards (e.g., an earthquake triggering landslides); (ii) develop and utilise novel data collection, monitoring, and communication/ visualisation techniques to improve disaster resilience; and (iii) build on our humanitarian assistance activities, and long-term planning experience to co-develop proactive systems to support NGOs, governments and mandated authorities when geohazards occur.Research will be co-designed using participatory workshops. It will aim to build sustainable networks of scientists, policy makers, NGOs, and communities. The long-term benefits of this research are knowledge exchange and its contribution to achieving the SDGs. Throughout the project, the RPs will act as a catalyst for BGS and UK-based research applications to GCRF, Newton, Royal Society and other funds. It is anticipated that leveraged and parallel funding will provide the principle mechanism to support project partners. Other return benefits to the UK research community will include advances in interdisciplinary understanding of human-Earth systems, open-access d

根据下面的原始建议，请参阅下面的建议，无论是在一个田野，村庄，城市，一个国家或大陆的规模上，地质都是理解人类环境相互作用并提供联合国可持续发展目标的基础。该项目将首次整合BGS在地下水，土壤，矿物，能源，城市规划，环境建模和地球岩方面的研究。这种方法将提供应用科学，从而对生活，生计和自然环境产生积极影响。三个相互关联的研究平台（RPS）将有助于满足DAC接收者名单（我们的ODA Partners）最多13个国家 /地区的发展需求。成功的关键是研究共同设计并与我们的合作伙伴交付，共享经验和建立能力，以确保有效的知识和数据交流。我们的目标是留下英国国际跨学科研究网络的长期遗产。由于人口增长，快速的城市化和经济发展，Eastern Africa（RP1）面临严重的自然资源挑战。 BGS在该地区具有丰富而多样的研究经验。我们将在此基础上通过：（i）量化气候和人类压力如何影响水资源并确定适当的抽象技术以及如何管理它们以确保它们长期保持功能； （ii）增强对该地区矿产和能源潜力的理解，以促进知情的政策制定，支持有效的治理机制并帮助内向投资； （iii）使用地质科学来提高农业生产率并通过将基岩地质和矿物与土壤类型联系起来的研究来解决微量营养素的缺陷，从而为改善土壤质量，使用肥料，保留水位和植物营养的决定提供了决定。亚洲城市（RP2）暴露于多种自然危害，城市化的速度通常是压倒性的，它们对环境变化的韧性未知。我们的研究将：（i）确定数据信息学，传感器技术和建模系统的创新使用如何改善城市规划； （ii）评估多种环境和人口压力对城市及其农村流域的影响，以及可以维持进一步城市化的程度； （iii）确定城市中人类和地球系统之间的相互依存关系，以及这种理解是否可用于使城市服务更具弹性。自然的地质危害及其相关风险（RP3），包括火山，地震和滑坡，及其影响是长期经济增长的关键问题。我们的研究侧重于拉丁美洲和加勒比海地区，以及RPS 1和2涵盖的地区，将：（i）提前研究环境过程和多危害的相互作用（例如，地震触发滑坡）； （ii）开发和利用新颖的数据收集，监视和通信/可视化技术来提高灾难弹性； （iii）基于我们的人道主义援助活动，以及在发生地质灾害时支持非政府组织，政府和授权当局的长期计划经验。研究将使用参与式研讨会共同设计。它将旨在建立科学家，政策制定者，非政府组织和社区的可持续网络。这项研究的长期好处是知识交流及其对实现可持续发展目标的贡献。在整个项目中，RPS将充当BGS和英国研究申请的催化剂，向GCRF，Newton，Royal Society和其他基金。预计杠杆和平行的资金将提供支持项目合作伙伴的主要机制。对英国研究社区的其他回报益处将包括对人与人机系统的跨学科理解的进步，开放式D
