Collaborative Research: Type 1: Chemistry and Climate over Asia: Understanding the Impact of Changing Climate and Emissions on Atmospheric Composition (L02170219)

该项目由美国国家科学基金会（nsf）、美国能源部（doe）和美国农业部（usda）联合气候研究投资项目“利用地球系统模型进行年代际和区域气候预测”支持，并由化学部特别项目计划资助。该项目将制定一个综合的跨学科项目，重点研究亚洲的气候、空气质量和对人类的影响，包括与水文、生态系统、极端天气事件和人类健康的联系。方法是建立一个团队，确定关键的科学问题，制定未来的研究计划，并建立研究设施，以解决亚洲面临的化学和气候问题，包括对人类的影响。对模型结果和卫星数据的分析将提供将气候变化与空气质量联系起来的精细尺度（10-50公里）信息。反过来，空气质量和气候变化信息将被用来估计人类对这些变化的脆弱性。该项目的更广泛影响包括向科学界提供当今和未来亚洲地区低于10公里分辨率的人为和生物排放，研究亚洲化学和气候科学问题的模型系统框架，以及未来科学研究的计划，以及学生和博士后研究人员的培训，以及通过出版物和会议报告传播研究成果。这项工作将提高我们对化学（包括粒子）与气候的相互作用以及人类对亚洲这些变化的脆弱性的认识。该项目的重点是世界上人口最多和经济最活跃的地区之一，将为详细研究地球系统与人类之间的相互作用提供一个框架。

This project, supported by the joint NSF-DOE-USDA Climate Research Investment on "Decadal and Regional Climate Prediction using Earth System Models", and funded by the Division of Chemistry Special Projects Program, will develop an integrated inter-disciplinary program to focus on Asia, its climate, air quality, and impact on humans that will include connections with hydrology, ecosystems, extreme weather events, and human health. The approach is to create a team that will identify key scientific questions and develop a plan for future studies and to establish the research facilities to address chemistry and climate issues facing Asia, including the impact on humans. Analyses of the model results and satellite data will give fine-scale (10-50 km) information on connecting climate change with air quality. In turn, the air quality and climate change information will be used to estimate the vulnerability of humans to these changes. The broader impacts of the project include providing to the science community present-day and future anthropogenic and biogenic emissions over Asia at less than 10 km resolution, a model system framework for investigating science questions addressing chemistry and climate over Asia, and a plan for future science studies as well as the training of students and postdoctoral researchers and dissemination of the research results through publications and conference presentations.The work will advance our knowledge on the interactions of chemistry, including particles, with climate and the vulnerability of humans to these changes in Asia. The project, which is focused on one of the most highly populated and economically dynamic regions in the world, will provide a framework for detailed studies of interactions between the earth system and humans.
