NSF East Asia and Pacific Summer Institute for FY 2012 in China

这一行动资助了巴尔的摩县马里兰大学的尼古拉斯·R·马格利奥卡于2012年夏天在北京的中国科学院中国所开展的一个研究项目，题为“模拟全球当地土地利用变化的原因和后果”。主持这项研究的科学家是黄鹤庆博士。该研究项目的智力价值是使用一个建模框架来制作一个虚拟实验室，以探索现实世界中无法操纵的人口、经济和环境因素的因果作用。EAPSI奖学金的广泛影响包括为研究员提供美国以外的第一手研究经验；对各自地区的科学、科学政策和科学基础设施的介绍；以及对社会、文化和语言的了解。这些活动符合NSF的目标，即在其科学家、工程师和教育工作者的职业生涯早期为国际合作进行教育，从而确保拥有一支具有全球意识的美国科学队伍。

This action funds Nicholas R. Magliocca of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County to conduct a research project, entitled "Simulating the causes and consequences of local land-use change globally," during the summer of 2012 at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, China. The host scientist is Dr. He-Qing Huang.The Intellectual Merit of the research project is to use a modeling framework to make a virtual laboratory for exploring the causal roles of demographic, economic and environmental factors that cannot be manipulated in the real world. and thus to shape a wide range of land-use systems globally and advance land-use theory.Broader Impacts of an EAPSI fellowship include providing the Fellow a first-hand research experience outside the U.S.; an introduction to the science, science policy, and scientific infrastructure of the respective location; and an orientation to the society, culture and language. These activities meet the NSF goal to educate for international collaborations early in the career of its scientists, engineers, and educators, thus ensuring a globally aware U.S. scientific workforce.
