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 develop natural and social science frameworks to promote the adaptation to sea-level rise and related coastal hazards in coastal Bangladesh. Sea-level rise, changes in land-surface topography, and changes in the frequency of storms contribute to increasing vulnerability to coastal regions. This is especially true in Bangladesh, a low-lying coastal nation with a high population density that is also prone to hazards including monsoonal flooding, saltwater intrusion, erosion, and drinking water hazards. This project will quantify the causes of sea-level rise and land movement as well as the human interactions that govern coastal vulnerability in Bangladesh. An earth system analysis and prediction system will be constructed to promote the adaptation to and mitigation of these detrimental hazards. Using a range of satellite and ground instrumentation as well as socio-economic tools, this project will integrate improved sea-level rise predictions with land subsidence. This project will contribute an analysis and prediction framework to improve the coastal resilience of Bangladesh. The integrated development of a natural and social science framework will provide a novel decision support tool for the adaptation of sea-level rise that is transportable to other coastal regions of the world.

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。贝尔蒙特论坛是全球环境变化研究和国际科学委员会的全球主要和新兴资助者的高级小组。 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）。 该奖项支持将开发自然和社会科学框架的研究活动，以促进孟加拉国沿海沿海沿海沿海危险的适应。海平面上升，土地表面地形的变化以及风暴频率的变化有助于增加沿海地区的脆弱性。在孟加拉国尤其如此，孟加拉国是一个低洼的沿海国家，人口密度很高，也容易受到危害，包括季风洪水，盐水入侵，侵蚀和饮用水危害。该项目将量化海平面上升和土地运动的原因，以及控制孟加拉国沿海脆弱性的人类互动。将构建地球系统分析和预测系统，以促进对这些有害危害的适应和缓解。使用一系列卫星和地面仪器以及社会经济工具，该项目将将改善的海平面上升预测与土地沉降整合在一起。该项目将贡献一个分析和预测框架，以提高孟加拉国的沿海弹性。自然和社会科学框架的综合发展将为适应海平面上升的新型决策支持工具，该工具可运输到世界其他沿海地区。
