This award provides support to U.S. researchers participating in a project competitively selected by a 9-country initiative on global change research through the Belmont Forum. The Belmont Forum is a consortium of research funding organizations representing over 55 countries focused on support for transdisciplinary approaches to global environmental change challenges and opportunities. It aims to accelerate delivery of the international research most urgently needed to remove critical barriers to sustainability by aligning and mobilizing international resources. 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. 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. The research teams will work to identify sustainable pathways to help alleviate the increasing and unprecedented pressure on the natural resources that interact to provide sustainable life support systems and essential benefits to societies such as food production and water quality and quantity. The impacts of changes in land management and urbanization will be evaluated to develop sustainable soils and groundwater management options that will help create and maintain sustainable terrestrial ecosystems. This project will focus on understanding the long-term response of the Earth’s Critical Zone to environmental, societal and economic drivers. The Critical Zone is the heterogeneous, near surface environment where complex interactions involving rock, soil, water, air, and living organisms regulate the natural habitat and determine the availability of life-sustaining resources. This project will focus on the tropical socio-ecosystems of Western Central Africa, and the Arctic and sub-arctic zones of the Western Siberian Lowlands. These regions are now increasingly impacted by accelerated global changes with the predictable degradation of soil and groundwater systems, which could potentially lead to huge emissions of greenhouse gases and to vast carbon and nutrient exports from land to oceans. The project will create an operational research and innovation framework on climate change, land use/cover, carbon cycle and soils, surface water, and groundwater sustainability, to improve soil, surface and groundwater knowledge, management, and policy from the local to regional scale. The research team will work with relevant stakeholders to develop and implement the results of the project to raise awareness of soil, water, climate change, carbon cycle and sustainability of Critical Zone and river and lake groundwater, and threats related to their degradation.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.

该奖项为参加一个由Belmont论坛进行的9个国家倡议竞争性竞争性的项目提供了支持。贝尔蒙特论坛是一个研究资助组织的财团，代表55多个国家，专注于支持全球环境变化挑战和机遇的跨学科方法。它的目的是加快迫切需要的国际研究的交付，以通过结盟和动员国际资源来消除可持续性的关键障碍。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。这种方法设施有效利用国家资源来支持关于全球相关性主题的出色研究，这是通过跨国方法来解决的，并认识到全球挑战需要全球解决方案。该奖项为美国研究人员提供了支持，以在财团中合作，该公司由至少三个参与国家的合作伙伴组成。研究团队将努力确定可持续的途径，以帮助减轻自然资源的日益增加和前所未有的压力，这些自然资源以提供可持续的生命支持系统以及为社会提供的基本收益，例如粮食生产，水质和数量。将评估土地管理和城市化变化的影响，以开发可持续的土壤和地下水管理方案，以帮助创建和维持可持续的陆地生态系统。该项目将着重于理解地球对环境，社会和经济驱动因素的长期反应。关键区域是异质的，近地面环境，其中涉及岩石，土壤，水，空气和活生物体的复杂相互作用可调节自然栖息地，并确定维持生命的资源的可用性。该项目将重点关注中部非洲中部的热带社会生态系统，以及西西伯利亚西伯利亚低地的北极和亚北极地区。现在，随着土壤和地下水系统的可预测降解，这些区域越来越受到全球变化的影响，这可能会导致大量的温室气体排放，并从陆地到海洋的巨大碳和养分出口。该项目将创建有关气候变化，土地的运营研究和创新框架。使用/覆盖，碳循环和土壤，地表水和地下水的可持续性，以改善从当地到区域规模的土壤，表面和地下水知识，管理和政策。研究团队将与相关的利益相关者合作开发和实施该项目的结果，以提高对土壤，水，气候变化，碳周期以及关键区域以及河流和地下水的可持续性的认识，并与其退化有关的威胁。这奖反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基础的智力效果和广泛的评估来评估，这是珍贵的。
