9529788 Richey This proposal seeks start-up funds for the Andean Amazon Rivers Analysis and Monitoring (AARAM) Project, which was conceived and organized specifically to address scientific questions and socioeconomic issues identified in the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) scientific research agenda, particularly within the theme of -T ropical Ecosystems and Biogeochemical Cycles.+ The AARAM project unites researchers from Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and the United States with the common objective of investigating the effect of global climate change and regional land use change on biogeochemical and hydrological cycles within terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems of the Andean Amazon Basin. To accomplish this objective the project will establish a network of river sampling stations throughout the Andean Amazon region, employing standardized methods to gather high-quality biogeochemical and hydrological data which is comparable over the entire region. The sampling stations will be the foci for the following: more detailed process-based studies; training of local scientists and students; and studies by other IAI research teams with broader geographic coverage. The project will also assemble and utilize diverse data types from different sources including historical hydrological records, remote sensing images, and digitized map themes which mark the course of land use change within the region. The AARAM Project will rely on Geographic Information Systems-based management to assemble and organize these varied data sets into a coherent project database. Specifically, this proposal seeks financial support to convene two working meetings: the first meeting will bring together project participants in Lima, Peru, to develop the project research plan, devise a plan for student and young researcher involvement, and work out collaborative agreements between participating institutions. The second meeting will be a smaller -writing+ meeting where the Project PIs gather in Seattle, Washington to write the IAI Phase II Proposal for the project. The institutions involved are the following: the Greater University of San Andres (Bolivia), the Bolivian National Meteorological and Hydrological Service, the Center for Nuclear Energy and Agriculture (Brazil), the National Agency for Water and Electric Power (Brazil), the National Institute for Environmental Studies (Colombia), the National Politechnical School (Ecuador), the Ecuadorean National Meteorological and Hydrological Service, the National Agrarian University at La Molina (Peru), the Peruvian National Meteorological and Hydrological S ervice, the Peruvian Hydrographic and Navigational Service, and the University of Washington at Seattle. %%% The proposed project and working meetings are being organized by a group of scientists with extensive experience in multinational research efforts and Amazon ecosystems. The characterization and monitoring of the biogeochemistry and hydrology of Andean Amazon rivers will provide a variety of benefits to the researchers and institutions involved. The benefits to the Andean region will be the following: increased knowledge of the state and functioning of their ecosystems; usefulness of the project data to the establishment of national and regional environmental policies, the raising of the level of local expertise through influx of technical and financial resources; and an increase in reg ional collaborative links. Brazilian and U.S. researchers will benefit from the expansion of their current research by gaining input from local experts and the access to laboratory facilities, field stations, and human resources. The larger global change community will gain from this project a high quality base of data relevant to large-scale st udies of water balance and cycles of bioactive elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. The AARAM Project has assembled a highly qualified team of research scientists. The PIs have extensive experience in proje ct management, including such major international efforts as the Carbon in the Amazon River Experiment (CAMREX), and NASA+s Earth Observing System Regional Amazon Model Project (EOSRAM). Additionally, this project will have links with the following large international research programs: the Large-scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Program (LBA), the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme+s Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone project (IGBP/LOICZ), the International Council of Scientific Union+s Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment (ICSU/SCOPE), U NESCO+s Man and the Biosphere Program (UNESCO/MAB), and the French sponsored Bolivian Amazon Basin Hydrological and Climatological Program (ORSTOM/PHICAB). The AARAM Project will integrate itself into the larger IAI Network by sharing data with these projects, and inviting other IAI projects to conduct research at its sampling stations. The par ticipating countries of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and the United States are Member States of the IAI, a U.S. initiative to stimulate cooperative research on global change issues among the scientific institutions of the Americas. The U.S. National Science Foundation is the Government agency designated to carry out U.S. responsibili ties within the IAI. ***

9529788里奇本提案旨在为安第斯亚马逊河分析和监测项目（AARAM）寻求启动资金，该项目是专门为解决美洲全球变化研究所（IAI）科学研究议程中确定的科学问题和社会经济问题而设计和组织的，特别是在热带生态系统和生物地球化学循环的主题范围内。 AARAM项目将来自玻利维亚、巴西、哥伦比亚、厄瓜多尔、秘鲁和美国的研究人员联合起来，共同的目标是调查全球气候变化和区域土地使用变化对安第斯亚马逊流域陆地和水生生态系统内的地球化学和水文循环的影响。 为实现这一目标，该项目将在整个安第斯亚马逊地区建立一个河流采样站网络，采用标准化方法收集整个地区可比的高质量生物地球化学和水文数据。 取样站将是以下工作的重点：更详细的基于过程的研究;培训当地科学家和学生;以及由国际航空航天学会其他研究小组进行的覆盖更广的地理范围的研究。 该项目还将收集和利用来自不同来源的各种数据类型，包括历史水文记录、遥感图像和数字化地图主题， 区域内土地利用的变化。 AARAM项目将依靠基于地理信息系统的管理，将这些不同的数据集汇集和组织成一个连贯的项目数据库。 具体而言，该提案寻求财政支持，以便召开两次工作会议：第一次会议将使项目参与者在秘鲁利马聚会一堂，以制定项目研究计划，为学生和青年研究人员的参与制定计划，并制定参与机构之间的合作协议。 第二次会议将是一个较小的-写作+会议，项目PI聚集在华盛顿的西雅图，为项目编写IAI第二阶段提案。 参与的机构如下：大圣安德烈斯大学（玻利维亚）、玻利维亚国家气象和水文局、核能和农业中心 （巴西）、国家水电局（巴西）、国家环境研究所（哥伦比亚）、国家技术学校（厄瓜多尔）、厄瓜多尔国家气象和水文局、La Molina国立农业大学（秘鲁）、秘鲁国家气象和水文局、秘鲁水文和导航局、以及位于西雅图的华盛顿大学。 拟议的项目和工作会议由一组在跨国研究工作和亚马逊生态系统方面具有丰富经验的科学家组织。 对安第斯亚马逊河的生物地球化学和水文进行定性和监测，将为有关研究人员和机构提供各种好处。 对安第斯区域的好处将如下：增加对其生态系统的状况和运作的了解;项目数据对制定国家和区域环境政策的有用性，通过技术和财政资源的流入提高当地专门知识的水平;以及增加区域合作联系。 巴西和美国的研究人员将受益于扩大其目前的研究，获得当地专家的投入，并获得实验室设施，实地考察站和人力资源。 更大的全球变化社区将从该项目中获得与水平衡和生物活性元素（如碳，氮和磷）循环的大规模研究相关的高质量数据基础。 AARAM项目组建了一支高素质的研究科学家团队。 项目研究员在项目管理方面有着丰富的经验，包括诸如亚马逊河实验中的碳（CAMREX）和NASA+的地球观测系统区域亚马逊模型项目（EOSRAM）等重大国际项目。 此外，该项目还将 与以下大型国际研究项目的联系：大规模生物圈-大气计划（LBA）、国际地圈-生物圈计划+沿海地区陆地-海洋相互作用项目（IGBP/LOICZ）、国际科学联合会理事会+环境问题科学委员会教科文组织/人与生物圈计划（UNESCO/MAB），以及法国赞助的玻利维亚亚马孙流域水文和气候计划（ORSTOM/PHICAB）。 AARAM项目将通过与这些项目共享数据，并邀请其他IAI项目在其采样站进行研究，从而将自己融入更大的IAI网络。 参与国玻利维亚、巴西、哥伦比亚、厄瓜多尔、秘鲁和美国都是国际气候变化研究所的成员国，该研究所是美国的一项倡议，旨在促进美洲科学机构之间就全球变化问题进行合作研究。 美国国家科学基金会是指定在IAI内履行美国责任的政府机构。 ***
