This award provides support to U.S. researchers participating in a project competitively selected by a 13-country initiative on global change research through the Belmont Forum and the G8 countries Heads of Research Councils. The Belmont Forum is a high level group of the world?s major and emerging funders of global environmental change research and international science councils. It aims to accelerate delivery of the international environmental research most urgently needed to remove critical barriers to sustainability by aligning and mobilizing international resources. The G8 Heads of Research Councils developed a funding framework to support multilateral research projects that address global challenges in ways that are beyond the capacity of national or bilateral activities. Each partner country provides funding for their researchers within a consortium to alleviate the need for funds to cross international borders. This approach facilitates effective leveraging of national resources to support excellent research on topics of global relevance best tackled through a multinational approach, recognizing that global challenges need global solutions.Working together in an inaugural call of the International Opportunities Fund, the Belmont Forum and G8HORCs have provided support for research projects that seek to deliver knowledge needed for action to mitigate and adapt to detrimental environmental change and extreme hazardous events that relate to either Freshwater Security or Coastal Vulnerability. This award provides support for the U.S. researchers to cooperate in consortia that consist of partners from at least three of the participating countries and that bring together natural scientists, social scientists and research users (e.g., policy makers, regulators, NGOs, communities and industry). This award supports research activities that will examine issues surrounding freshwater security associated with the expansion of intensive crop agriculture in tropical forests. Intensification of crop agriculture is a global phenomenon that is rapidly shifting land use as populations and incomes increase. These agricultural changes have important implications for water use and quality, but land use changes are rarely associated with changes in water governance and management. This project will (1) identify how impacts from land conversion, cropland expansion and agricultural intensification interact to affect regional evapotranspiration, rainfall generation, river flooding, water quality and stream habitat and the thresholds of change that will endanger agricultural production, livelihoods and infrastructure, and (2) what mechanisms of governance and communication are best suited to facilitate effective and efficient water management. Farmers, ranchers, families, municipal officials and businesses will be engaged to assess what mechanisms can influence water security assessments and manage tradeoffs. This project will contribute toward an improved understanding of how shifts in land use impacts water use and governance and how engagement and management can impact freshwater sustainability in regions with rapidly changing land use.

该奖项为参加一个由13个国家 /地区的倡议通过Belmont论坛和G8国家研究委员会负责人竞争性选择的项目提供了支持。贝尔蒙特论坛是世界上一个全球环境变化研究和国际科学委员会的主要和新兴资助者。 它的目的是加速最迫切需要的国际环境研究，以通过对齐和动员国际资源来消除可持续性的关键障碍。 G8研究委员会负责人开发了一个资金框架，以支持多边研究项目，这些项目以超出国家或双边活动能力的方式应对全球挑战。每个合作伙伴国家为财团内的研究人员提供资金，以减轻资金越过国际边界的需求。 这种方法促进了有效利用国家资源的有效利用，以支持有关全球相关性主题的出色研究，最好通过跨国方法来解决全球相关性，认识到全球挑战需要全球解决方案。在国际机遇基金的首届呼吁中，Belmont Forum和G8HORCS共同努力，为沿着范围造成的知识提供了危害环境，以使范围内的范围进行危害和极端的环境，以使其提供了危险，以使环境变得更改，以使环境变得更改，以使环境变得更改，以使环境变得更改。脆弱性。 该奖项为美国的研究人员提供了支持，以在财团中合作，该公司由来自至少三个参与国家的合作伙伴组成，并将自然科学家，社会科学家和研究用户汇集在一起​​（例如，政策制定者，监管机构，非政府组织，社区和行业）。 该奖项支持研究活动，该研究将研究与热带森林中密集型农业扩大有关的淡水安全性问题。作物农业的强化是一种全球现象，随着人口和收入的增加，土地使用迅速转移。这些农业变化对用水和质量具有重要意义，但是土地利用变化很少与水治理和管理的变化有关。该项目将（1）确定土地转化，农田扩展和​​农业强化的影响如何影响区域蒸散量，降雨产生，河流洪水，水质和溪流栖息地以及变化的阈值，这些变化的阈值将危害农业生产，谋生和基础设施和基础设施以及（2）效率和沟通的机构和良好的水平和良好的水平和良好的水平。农民，牧场主，家庭，市政官员和企业将参与评估哪些机制可以影响水安全评估并管理权衡。该项目将有助于改善对土地使用的转变如何影响用水和治理的理解，以及参与和管理如何影响迅速变化的土地使用的地区淡水可持续性。
