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. As groundwater extraction increases worldwide, generating a range of economic and ecological impacts, many countries are implementing regulation systems to restrict groundwater use. Implementation of these restrictions is often problematic resulting in low regulatory compliance. This project seeks to demonstrate that well-designed stakeholder processes can deliver socially accepted management rules with higher compliance, thereby enhancing groundwater long-term sustainability. The project focuses on how effective stakeholder involvement impacts stakeholder groundwater literacy, develops capacity to think long-term and capture trade-offs, and contributes to developing innovative regulations. The research team will investigate whether a paradigm shift from narrowly defined groundwater management practices of limiting water abstraction to conjunctive soil and groundwater management which focuses on managing "net water extraction" accounting for retention and recharge can improve regulatory compliance. The project will rely on 7 transdisciplinary case studies in France, the United States and Taiwan to engage in collective learning and the identification of pre-conditions for successful stakeholder processes delivering socially accepted groundwater management schemes.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.

该奖项为参与一个由9个国家倡议通过贝尔蒙论坛进行全球变化研究的竞争性项目的美国研究人员提供支持。贝尔蒙特论坛是一个研究资助组织联盟，代表55个国家，重点支持以跨学科方法应对全球环境变化的挑战和机遇。它的目的是通过协调和调动国际资源，加速开展最迫切需要的国际研究，以消除对可持续性的关键障碍。每个伙伴国都在一个联合体内为其研究人员提供资金，以减轻跨越国际边界的资金需求。这种办法有助于有效地利用国家资源，支持对具有全球相关性的专题进行出色的研究，最好通过多国办法加以解决，同时认识到全球挑战需要全球解决办法。该奖项为美国研究人员在财团中进行合作提供支持，财团由至少三个参与国的合作伙伴组成。研究小组将努力确定可持续的途径，以帮助缓解自然资源日益增加的前所未有的压力，这些压力相互作用，为社会提供可持续的生命支持系统和基本利益，如粮食生产和水的质量和数量。将评估土地管理和城市化变化的影响，以发展可持续的土壤和地下水管理选择，这将有助于创建和维持可持续的陆地生态系统。随着全球地下水开采量的增加，产生了一系列的经济和生态影响，许多国家正在实施管制制度，以限制地下水的使用。这些限制的实施往往是有问题的，导致法规遵从性较低。该项目旨在证明，设计良好的利益攸关方程序可以提供社会接受的管理规则，并具有更高的合规性，从而加强地下水的长期可持续性。该项目侧重于利益攸关方的有效参与如何影响利益攸关方的地下水扫盲，培养长期思考和把握权衡的能力，并为制定创新的法规做出贡献。研究小组将调查从狭义的限制取水的地下水管理做法向注重管理“净取水”的土壤和地下水联合管理的范式转变是否能够改善监管合规性。该项目将依赖于法国、美国和台湾的7个跨学科案例研究，以参与集体学习，并确定成功的利益相关者过程提供社会接受的地下水管理计划的先决条件。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。
