Community Surface Dynamics Modeling System(CSDMS) Implementation Plan Workshop

社区表面动力学建模系统（CSDMS）实施计划研讨会克里斯·保拉，明尼苏达大学ear -0413249本提案要求为研讨会提供资金，以制定社区表面动力学建模系统的实施计划。CSDMS的目标是为形成地球表面并创建其地层记录的主要过程集开发一套基于社区的模型。2002年2月首次举办的“群落泥沙模型”研讨会吸引了大力支持，并发表了一份白皮书，概述了CSDMS项目的基本原理、目标和结构。这份白皮书的结果和建议后来提交给了NSF的工作人员，NSF的反馈意见建议，在进一步获得资助之前，需要制定CSDMS的战略实施计划。由于CSDMS是一项社区范围的倡议，因此最好通过社区研讨会来实现这一目标，这也是该请求的基本原理。一套有效的、以社区为基础的、不断改进的地球表面动力学模型将成为环境管理和预报的基石，正如大气模型是天气预报的基础一样。因此，CSDMS将支持土地管理、河流和景观恢复、风景和娱乐景观的管理、与地形有关的自然灾害（如洪水和山体滑坡）的评估，以及从高地森林到沉积层碳氢化合物等资源的负责任开发。

Community Surface Dynamics Modeling System (CSDMS) Implementation Plan WorkshopChris Paola, University of MinnesotaEAR-0413249This proposal requests funds for a workshop to develop an implementation plan for the Community Surface Dynamics Modeling System. The goal of CSDMS is to develop a suite of community-based models for the main process sets that shape the Earth's surface and create its stratigraphic record. An initial "community sediment model" workshop held in February 2002 attracted strong support for the initiative and led to a white paper outlining the rationale, goals, and structure of the CSDMS project. The results and recommendations of this white paper were later presented to NSF personnel and NSF feedback recommended that a strategic implementation plan for CSDMS needed to be developed before further progress toward funding could be made. As CSDMS is a community-wide initiative, this would be best accomplished through a community workshop and thus the rationale for this request. A functioning set of community based, continuously improving models for the dynamics of the Earth's surface would be a cornerstone of environmental management and forecasting, just as atmospheric models are the bases for weather forecasting. Thus CSDMS would support land management, river and landscape restoration, stewardship, of scenic and recreational landscapes, assessment of terrain-related natural hazards like floods and landslides, and responsible development of resources from upland forests to hydrocarbons in sedimentary strata.
