Board on Earth Sciences and Resources and Its Activities

国家科学院为地球科学与资源委员会及其活动提供支助。这项工作将由地球科学与资源委员会地球和生命研究司进行。地球科学与资源委员会为国家研究理事会与地球科学有关的活动提供协调中心。它通过其委员会、小组和工作组，就广泛的地球科学问题提供独立的咨询意见，包括涉及基础和应用研究、环境、自然灾害、资源、数据(从获取和存档到传播和管理)和教育的问题。它还为美国参与国际地球科学项目提供了指导。

The National Academy of Sciences is provided with support for the Board on Earth Sciences and Resources and its Activities. The work will be conducted by the Division on Earth and Life Studies, Board on Earth Sciences and Resources. The Board on Earth Sciences and Resources provides the focal point for National Research Council activities related to the Earth sciences. Through its committees, panels, and working groups, it provides independent advice on a wide range of Earth science issues, including those involving basic and applied research, the environment, natural hazards, resources, data (from acquisition and archiving to dissemination and management) and education. It also provides guidance on U.S. participation in international Earth science programs.
