As sustainability science research enters its adolescence, several facets of it have emerged as instrumental for global environmental change, climate change, and sustainable development. Among these, land change and urbanization are so pivotal that they are the subjects of international programs of study under the auspices of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP). The Global Land Project (GLP) of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme and the International Human Dimensions Programme joins environmental, remote sensing-GIS, and social-human sciences in the study of land systems and their change as coupled human-environment systems. The Urbanization and Global Environmental Change (UGEC) project, established in 2006 and sponsored by the International Human Dimensions Programme, seeks to galvanize international research that fuses urban dynamics with environment. In recognition of the overlapping interests of the international research communities that these projects are nurturing, the GLP and UGEC projects will conduct overlapping open science meetings at Arizona State University on October 15-19, 2010. The GLP and UGEC open science meetings will be comprised of plenary, open paper, and poster sessions and are expected to draw 500 and 300 people respectively. In addition, each project will sponsor a special workshop designed to produce major forum articles for publication soon after the meetings that will address critical themes for sustainability science. October 17 will constitute an overlap day between the two projects in which the theme will be urban, land, and environment. Presentations and activities on this day will seek to improve ties and develop new research initiatives between the projects and related communities of researchers. This award will provide support to facilitate the involvement of members of underrepresented groups, early-career scientists, and scientists from developing nations in the GLP and UGEC open science meetings.This group-travel award, which will complement awards made by other organizations, will facilitate the involvement in these critical meetings of researchers who might otherwise have difficulty participating in these meetings. The meetings will encourage development of new initiatives and synthesis of findings from past and current research. They also will advance the research capacity for the conduct of larger-scale, highly interdisciplinary, internationally collaborative research on a broad range of topics, such as ecology, ecosystem services, and climate change; remote sensing methods and land monitoring; agent-based, econometric, and spatial models of land change; land-tenure institutions; relationships between population and technology; and vulnerability and sustainability. The meetings also will enhance the policy-relevance of integrated urban-environmental models and assessments, improving capabilities for dealing with issues of uncertainty and explicitly addressing the need for multidimensional, data-driven policy making for urban sustainability.

随着可持续性科学研究进入青春期，它的几个方面已经成为全球环境变化、气候变化和可持续发展的工具。 其中，土地变化和城市化至关重要，它们是国际地圈-生物圈计划（IGBP）和全球环境变化国际人文因素计划（IHDP）主持下的国际研究计划的主题。 国际地圈-生物圈计划和国际人文维度计划的全球土地项目（GLP）将环境、遥感-GIS和社会-人文科学结合起来，研究土地系统及其作为耦合的人类-环境系统的变化。 城市化与全球环境变化 (UGEC) 项目于 2006 年成立，由国际人文维度计划赞助，旨在推动将城市动态与环境融合的国际研究。 考虑到这些项目正在培育的国际研究界的重叠利益，GLP 和 UGEC 项目将于 2010 年 10 月 15 日至 19 日在亚利桑那州立大学举行重叠的开放科学会议。GLP 和 UGEC 开放科学会议将由全体会议、开放论文会议和海报会议组成，预计将分别吸引 500 人和 300 人。 此外，每个项目都将赞助一个特别研讨会，旨在在会议结束后立即发表主要论坛文章，讨论可持续科学的关键主题。 10 月 17 日将成为两个项目的重叠日，主题为城市、土地和环境。 这一天的演讲和活动将寻求改善项目和相关研究人员社区之间的联系并制定新的研究计划。 该奖项将提供支持，以促进代表性不足群体的成员、职业生涯早期的科学家和发展中国家的科学家参与 GLP 和 UGEC 开放科学会议。该团体旅行奖将补充其他组织颁发的奖项，将有助于那些可能难以参加这些会议的研究人员参与这些重要会议。 这些会议将鼓励制定新举措并综合过去和当前的研究结果。 他们还将提高针对生态学、生态系统服务和气候变化等广泛主题进行更大规模、高度跨学科、国际合作研究的研究能力；遥感方法和土地监测；基于主体的、计量经济的和空间的土地变化模型；土地保有权机构；人口与技术之间的关系；以及脆弱性和可持续性。 这些会议还将增强综合城市环境模型和评估的政策相关性，提高处理不确定性问题的能力，并明确解决城市可持续性多维、数据驱动的政策制定的需求。
