As per original proposal-see below.Whether at the scale of a field, a village, a city, a country, or a continent, geology is fundamental to understanding human-environment interactions and delivering the UN SDGs. This project will, for the first time, integrate BGS research on groundwater, soils, minerals, energy, urban planning, environmental modelling, and geohazards. Such an approach will deliver applied science that positively impacts on lives, livelihoods, and the natural environment.Three interlinked Research Platforms (RPs) will help address the development needs of up to 13 countries on the DAC list of ODA recipients (our ODA partners). Key to success is research co-designed and delivered with our partners, sharing experience and building capacity to ensure effective knowledge and data exchange. We aim to leave behind a long-term legacy of UK-international interdisciplinary research networks.Eastern Africa (RP1) faces severe natural resource challenges due to exponential population growth, rapid urbanisation, and economic development. BGS has strong and diverse research experience in this region. We will build on this to address the responsible use of natural resources by: (i) quantifying how climate and human stressors impact water resources and identifying the appropriate water abstraction technologies and how these are governed to ensure they remain functional in the long term; (ii) enhancing the understanding of the mineral and energy resource potential in the region to facilitate informed policy development, support effective governance mechanisms, and aid inward investment; and (iii) using geological science to increase agricultural productivity and tackle micronutrient deficiencies by carrying out research linking bedrock geology and minerals to soil type thus informing decisions on improving soil quality, use of fertilisers, water retention, and plant nutrition. Asian cities (RP2) are exposed to multiple natural hazards, the pace of urbanisation is often overwhelming and their resilience to environmental change unknown. Our research will: (i) identify how innovative use of data-informatics, sensor technologies, and modelling systems can improve urban planning; (ii) assess the effect of multiple environmental and demographic stresses on the city and its rural catchment, and the extent to which further urbanisation can be sustained; and (iii) determine inter-dependencies between human and Earth systems in cities, and whether this understanding can be used to make city services more resilient.Natural geological hazards and their associated risk (RP3), including volcanoes, earthquakes, and landslides, and their impacts, are of key concern to long-term economic growth. Our research, focused on Latin America and the Caribbean, and the regions covered by RPs 1 and 2, will: (i) advance research into environmental processes and the interactions of multi-hazards (e.g., an earthquake triggering landslides); (ii) develop and utilise novel data collection, monitoring, and communication/ visualisation techniques to improve disaster resilience; and (iii) build on our humanitarian assistance activities, and long-term planning experience to co-develop proactive systems to support NGOs, governments and mandated authorities when geohazards occur.Research will be co-designed using participatory workshops. It will aim to build sustainable networks of scientists, policy makers, NGOs, and communities. The long-term benefits of this research are knowledge exchange and its contribution to achieving the SDGs. Throughout the project, the RPs will act as a catalyst for BGS and UK-based research applications to GCRF, Newton, Royal Society and other funds. It is anticipated that leveraged and parallel funding will provide the principle mechanism to support project partners. Other return benefits to the UK research community will include advances in interdisciplinary understanding of human-Earth systems, open-access d

无论是在田野、村庄、城市、国家还是大陆的尺度上，地质学都是理解人类与环境相互作用和实现联合国可持续发展目标的基础。该项目将首次整合BGS在地下水，土壤，矿物，能源，城市规划，环境建模和地质灾害方面的研究。三个相互关联的研究平台（RP）将帮助解决多达13个在发展援助委员会官方发展援助受援国名单上的国家（我们的官方发展援助合作伙伴）的发展需求。成功的关键是与我们的合作伙伴共同设计和交付研究，分享经验和建设能力，以确保有效的知识和数据交换。我们的目标是留下英国-国际跨学科研究网络的长期遗产。东非（RP 1）面临着严重的自然资源挑战，由于人口指数增长，快速城市化和经济发展。BGS在该地区拥有强大而多样化的研究经验。我们将以此为基础，通过以下方式解决负责任地使用自然资源的问题：（i）量化气候和人类压力因素如何影响水资源，并确定适当的取水技术，以及如何管理这些技术，以确保它们长期发挥作用; ㈡增进对本区域矿物和能源资源潜力的了解，以促进知情的政策制定，支持有效的治理机制，并协助对内投资;以及（iii）利用地质科学提高农业生产力，通过开展将基岩地质和矿物与土壤类型联系起来的研究，解决微量营养素缺乏问题，从而为改善土壤质量、使用化肥、保水和植物营养的决策提供信息。亚洲城市（RP 2）面临多种自然灾害，城市化的步伐往往势不可挡，其对环境变化的适应能力未知。我们的研究将：（i）确定数据信息学、传感器技术和建模系统的创新使用如何改善城市规划;（ii）评估多种环境和人口压力对城市及其农村地区的影响，以及进一步城市化可以持续的程度;以及（iii）确定城市中人类和地球系统之间的相互依赖关系，自然地质灾害及其相关风险（RP 3），包括火山、地震和山体滑坡及其影响，是长期经济增长的关键问题。我们的研究侧重于拉丁美洲和加勒比地区以及RP 1和RP 2所涵盖的地区，将：（一）推进对环境过程和多种灾害（例如，（ii）开发和利用新的数据收集、监测和通信/可视化技术，以提高灾害恢复能力;（iii）在我们的人道主义援助活动和长期规划经验的基础上，共同开发主动系统，在地质灾害发生时为非政府组织、政府和授权机构提供支持。它将致力于建立科学家、决策者、非政府组织和社区的可持续网络。这项研究的长期好处是知识交流及其对实现可持续发展目标的贡献。在整个项目中，RP将作为BGS和英国研究申请的催化剂，用于GCRF，牛顿，皇家学会和其他基金。预计杠杆和平行供资将成为支持项目伙伴的主要机制。英国研究界的其他回报将包括对人类-地球系统的跨学科理解的进步，开放获取的信息，
