Non-technical descriptionThis Research Infrastructure Improvement Track-2 Focused EPSCoR Collaboration (RII Track-2 FEC) award is a collaboration among three institutions in Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota including Montana State University (MSU), University of Wyoming (UW) and University of South Dakota (USD). The project will focus on developing a framework of CO2 mitigation scenarios that would not create conflicts with food security and production of clean energy. The project will offer novel experimental insights, modeling tools, and technological solutions for improving the resiliency of food security and ecosystem services to global climate policies. The modeling activities and extensive field research is expected to generate new data and findings that will lead to new insights into how biogeochemical modeling, agricultural economics, carbon-capture and sequestration, water and biodiversity research can be used within an integrated framework. The project will leverage existing networks and hubs to integrate new data-streams into the modeling exercises. Through involvement with Tribal Colleges and networking with existing programs with Native American student populations, the project will serve to enhance and diversify the STEM workforce in the participating jurisdictions.Technical descriptionThe proposed project will evaluate the consequences of a bioenergy, and carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) economy in the Upper Missouri River Basin (UMRB). In seeking to evaluate how negative CO2 emissions, and the security and economic costs associated with changes to energy policy, the project will address four research objectives: (1) Develop empirical and numerical models to explain recent trends in land use and land-cover change; (2) Apply biogeochemical ecosystem and crop models to evaluate a set of stakeholder-designed regions and scenarios for bioenergy production potential, and use new and existing data and observations to quantify trade-offs between biofuel expansion and food security and other carbon, soil and bioclimate variables; (3) Evaluate the feasibility of BECCS within the context of carbon capture and storage, existing political and institutional constraints, and policy frameworks affecting farmers and Tribal Nations; and (4) Produce a synthesis report addressing the economic feasibility of BECCS and provide the basis for knowledge transfer to collaborators at national and international organizations. The collaborations with several government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector, in addition to a scientific advisory panel, provide high potential that the project and its findings will transfer to national and international stages.

非技术支持这个研究基础设施改进轨道-2重点EPSCoR合作（RII轨道-2 FEC）奖是蒙大拿州，怀俄明州和南达科他州的三个机构之间的合作，包括蒙大拿州立大学（MSU），怀俄明州大学（UW）和南达科他州大学（USD）。 该项目将侧重于制定一个二氧化碳减排设想方案框架，该框架不会与粮食安全和清洁能源生产产生冲突。 该项目将提供新的实验见解，建模工具和技术解决方案，以提高粮食安全和生态系统服务对全球气候政策的弹性。 建模活动和广泛的实地研究预计将产生新的数据和发现，这将导致对如何在综合框架内使用生物地球化学建模，农业经济，碳捕获和封存，水和生物多样性研究的新见解。 该项目将利用现有的网络和中心，将新的数据流整合到建模工作中。 通过与部落学院和网络与现有的计划与美洲原住民的学生群体的参与，该项目将有助于提高和多元化的STEM劳动力在参与jurisdiction.Technical provisionThe拟议的项目将评估的后果生物能源，和碳捕获和封存（BECCS）的经济在上密苏里州河流域（UMBB）。 为了评估二氧化碳的负排放以及与能源政策变化有关的安全和经济成本，该项目将致力于四个研究目标：（1）开发经验和数字模型，以解释土地利用和土地覆盖变化的最新趋势;（2）应用生物地球化学生态系统和作物模型，评估一组由农民设计的生物能源生产潜力区域和情景，利用新的和现有的数据和观测结果，量化生物燃料扩张和粮食安全以及其他碳、土壤和生物气候变量之间的权衡;（3）在碳捕获和储存、现有政治和体制限制以及影响农民和部落民族的政策框架的背景下，评估BECCS的可行性;以及（4）编写一份综合报告，阐述BECCS的经济可行性，并为向国家和国际组织的合作者转让知识提供基础。 除了一个科学咨询小组之外，与几个政府机构、非政府组织和私营部门的合作为该项目及其研究结果转移到国家和国际舞台提供了很大的潜力。
