Natural or human-made activities that occur immediately above, on, or within the Earth impact humans and the physical environment over different time and spatial scales. Earth sciences offer information and approaches to understand, manage, and respond to those impacts. The long-term mission of the Board on Earth Sciences and Resources (BESR) to coordinate the Earth science issues of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM). The Board identifies opportunities to advance basic research and understanding of Earth processes for policy decisions, to report on applications of Earth sciences to important societal issues, and to address the overall health of research and education programs related to Earth sciences. By developing interdisciplinary activities aimed toward understanding how fundamental processes within the terrestrial system interact, the Board enables sharing and exchange of information among government agencies and entities; private, professional, non-governmental, and academic organizations; and the general public to continue raising the profile of science and increase public scientific literacy. Specific impacts following from the consensus study reports and other activities may include language that is input to congressional legislation, changes that are made to agency programs, organization, or priorities; information that is shared by professional or trade organizations through social media platforms, and news coverage of scientific issues.The Board on Earth Sciences and Resources (BESR) is the focal point for Earth science activities at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM). The Board develops and oversees consensus studies and other activities that provide independent, objective scientific and technical information to the Earth science community, policy and decision makers in government, non-governmental organizations, the private sector, and the public. The Board manages a range of projects to advise the nation, advance dialogue, and connect thought and research leaders on a range of challenges with fundamental Earth science components. Through a variety of engagement platforms, products, and communication tools, the Board provides a unique and trusted interface among the Earth science research community, many stakeholders, and those in policy- and decision-making roles. This award enables the Board to conduct activities that develop and share Earth science information to inform and advise policy- and decision-making at multiple levels, across the nation.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

发生在地球上方、地球上或地球内部的自然或人为活动在不同的时间和空间尺度上影响着人类和物理环境。地球科学为理解、管理和应对这些影响提供了信息和方法。地球科学与资源委员会(BESR)的长期使命是协调美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院(NASEM)的地球科学问题。委员会确定了促进基础研究和对地球过程的了解以作出决策的机会，报告了地球科学在重大社会问题上的应用情况，并解决了与地球科学有关的研究和教育方案的整体健康问题。通过开展跨学科活动，以了解地球系统内的基本过程如何相互作用，委员会使政府机构和实体、私人、专业、非政府组织和学术组织以及公众之间能够共享和交流信息，从而继续提高科学的形象，提高公众的科学素养。共识研究报告和其他活动产生的具体影响可能包括国会立法的语言，对机构计划、组织或优先事项的改变，专业或行业组织通过社交媒体平台分享的信息，以及对科学问题的新闻报道。地球科学与资源委员会(BESR)是美国国家科学院、工程和医学研究院(NASEM)地球科学活动的协调中心。该委员会制定和监督协商一致研究和其他活动，向地球科学界、政府、非政府组织、私营部门和公众的决策者和决策者提供独立、客观的科学和技术信息。该委员会管理着一系列项目，为国家提供建议，推动对话，并就一系列具有基本地球科学组成部分的挑战将思想和研究领袖联系起来。通过各种参与平台、产品和通信工具，委员会在地球科学研究界、许多利益攸关方以及政策和决策角色之间提供了一个独特和值得信赖的接口。该奖项使董事会能够开展开发和共享地球科学信息的活动，为全国多个级别的政策和决策提供信息和建议。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
