Collaborative Research Belmont Forum: People, poll

该奖项为美国研究人员参与一个项目提供支持，该项目是通过贝尔蒙特论坛由六国全球变化研究倡议竞争性选择的。贝尔蒙特论坛是一个世界性的团体吗？全球环境变化研究的主要和新兴资助者。它的目的是通过调整和调动国际资源，加快提供最迫切需要的国际环境研究，以消除可持续性的关键障碍。每个伙伴组织都为本国的研究人员提供资金，以减轻跨越国际边界的资金需求。 这一方法有助于有效地利用国家资源，支持对全球相关主题的优秀研究，最好通过多国方法来解决，认识到全球挑战需要全球解决方案。六个伙伴组织在合作研究行动中共同努力，为利用强有力的跨学科和跨学科方法来研究气候，环境，和相关的社会变革。该奖项为美国研究人员提供支持，使他们能够与来自至少三个参与国的合作伙伴组成联盟，并将自然科学家，社会科学家和研究用户（例如，政策制定者、监管机构、非政府组织、社区和行业）。 该项目将确定污染、病原体和人类影响对水生生境和陆地生境交界处的山区生态系统的影响。研究将在四个山脉（法国比利牛斯山脉、阿曼佐法尔山脉、美国内华达州山脉和中国大兴安岭）进行，并将在沿着相似的海拔高度进行。 利用历史数据和新收集的数据，制定变化指标，并制定和界定与山区有关的基本生物多样性变量，这些变量可用于模型以及供公众、利益攸关方和决策者使用。

This award provides support to U.S. researchers participating in a project competitively selected by a six-country initiative on global change research through the Belmont Forum. The Belmont Forum is a group of the world?s major and emerging funders of global environmental change research. 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. Each partner organization provides funding for researchers from their country 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 a Collaborative Research Action, the six partner organizations have provided support for research projects that utilize a strong inter- and trans-disciplinary approach to examine climate, environmental, and related societal change in mountain regions. This award provides support for the U.S. researchers to cooperate in a consortium of partners from at least three of the participating countries and that brings together natural scientists, social scientists and research users (e.g., policy makers, regulators, NGOs, communities and industry). This project will determine the effects of pollution, pathogens and human impacts on mountain ecosystems at the interface of aquatic and terrestrial habitats. The research will be conducted in four mountain ranges (Pyrenees, France; Dhofar Mountains, Oman; Sierra Nevada, USA; and Great Hinggan Mountains, China), and will take place along similar elevations. The use historical and newly collected data, to develop indicators of change, and develop and define essential biodiversity variables relevant for the mountain regions that can be used in models as well as by the general public, stakeholders and policymakers.
