AMS Community Synthesis for Convergence of Health and the Geosciences

由于气候变化和人类日益集中，人类健康越来越受到环境变化的影响，例如极端炎热和寒冷的天气、洪水、野火、热带虫媒疾病向北迁移、城市热岛效应、有害藻华的增加以及由于废物、制造和采矿产生的人为污染物的释放和/或掩埋而导致的环境退化。上述许多现象，无论是与气候变化有关，还是与人类对自然环境的影响有关，特别是与大气输送和其他空气传播的物理化学过程有关的现象，都对人类健康造成了重大而严重的影响。这些影响不仅在美国，而且在全世界都受到影响。为了让公众了解这些风险并探索可能解决方案的可行性，美国气象学会 (AMS) 这个由 13,000 名大气科学家组成的专业学会；公司；和爱好者，将开展信息收集活动，收集其三方成员对气候和大气过程问题的意见，这些问题对人类健康有影响，并有望迅速得到解决。将生成一份总结本次调查结果的报告，并通过在美国气象学会网站上发布向公众提供，并提交给美国国家科学基金会地球科学理事会。主要成果将是确定污染和气候变化对人类健康影响最大的大气变化和过程，并为立即解决和/或干预做好准备。该活动的更广泛影响将侧重于提高我们对大气相关环境变化对人类健康的了解和减轻影响。 美国气象学会（AMS）将对其成员进行广泛、包容、以结果为导向的调查，成员包括大气科学和天气/气候预测领域的科学家和学生以及行业专业人士。这项信息收集活动将收集地球科学家、社区、毒理学家和医疗专业人员可以聚集在一起的想法和目标领域，以加快我们国家减轻和尽量减少气候和人类活动造成的环境变化对人类健康影响的能力。调查结果将进行总结，以提供制定潜在可行解决方案的路线图，以帮助改善环境对人类健康和社会的影响。最终报告将确定可在 2 至 3 年时间内以重大方式实现的目标。信息收集将包括在线调查工具、虚拟聚会、与专家的一对一讨论以及大气科学领域的广泛推广。调查工作的一个重要方面将是让早期职业科学家和历史上在科学领域代表性不足的群体成员参与其中。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Due to climate change and the increasing concentration of human beings, human health is becoming increasing impacted by environmental changes such as extreme heat and cold snaps, flooding, wildfires, the northward migration of tropical insect-borne diseases, the urban heat island effect, the increasing occurrence of harmful algal blooms, and environmental degradation due to release and/or burial of anthropogenically-generated pollutants originating from waste, manufacturing, and mining. Many of the above phenomena, whether related to climate change or the impact of people on the natural environment, especially those related to atmospheric transport and other air-borne physical and chemical processes, have imposed significant and serious impacts on human health. These impacts are being felt not only in the US, but worldwide. To inform the public of these risks and explore the feasibility of possible solutions, the American Meteorological Society (AMS), a professional society of 13,000 atmospheric scientists; companies; and enthusiasts, will carry out an information gathering activity to collect input from its constituents on issues in climate and atmospheric processes that have impacts on human health and that are primed to be quickly addressed/resolved. A report, summarizing the outcome of this survey, will be generated and made available to the public via publication on the American Meteorological Society website and presented to the National Science Foundation Directorate of Geosciences. Key outcomes will be the identification of atmospheric changes and processes with the highest human-health impacts resulting from pollution and climate change that are primed for immediate resolution and/or intervention. Broader Impacts of the activity will a focus on improving our understanding and mitigation of atmospherically related environmental changes on human health. The American Meteorological Society (AMS) will conduct a broad, inclusive, results-driven survey of its constituents which consist of scientists and students as well as industry professionals in the atmospheric sciences and weather/climate prediction. This information collection exercise will gather ideas and target areas where geoscientists, communities, toxicologists, and medical professionals can come together to accelerate our nation's ability to mitigate and minimize human health impacts of changes in our environment due to climate and anthropogenic activities. Results of the survey will be summarized to provide a roadmap for the creation of potential workable solutions to help ameliorate the impacts of the environment on human health and society. In the final report targets will be identified that can be addressed in a significant way within a 2 to 3-year timeframe. Information gathering will include online survey vehicles, virtual gatherings, one-on-one discussions with experts, and broad outreach across the atmospheric sciences. An important aspect of the survey effort will be engagement of early career scientists and members of groups historically underrepresented in the sciences.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.
