NSF East Asia and Pacific Summer Institute for FY 2012 in China

这项行动资助了巴尔的摩马里兰大学的Nicholas R. Magliocca于2012年夏天在中国科学院开展一项名为“模拟全球地方土地利用变化的原因和后果”的研究项目。主持会议的科学家是黄鹤清博士。该研究项目的智力价值在于使用建模框架来创建虚拟实验室，以探索在现实世界中无法操纵的人口，经济和环境因素的因果作用。从而在全球范围内形成广泛的土地利用系统并推进土地利用理论。EAPSI奖学金的广泛影响包括为研究员提供美国以外的第一手研究经验；介绍该地区的科学、科学政策和科学基础设施；以及对社会、文化和语言的了解。这些活动符合美国国家科学基金会的目标，即在其科学家、工程师和教育工作者的职业生涯早期培养国际合作，从而确保美国科学劳动力具有全球意识。

This action funds Nicholas R. Magliocca of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County to conduct a research project, entitled "Simulating the causes and consequences of local land-use change globally," during the summer of 2012 at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, China. The host scientist is Dr. He-Qing Huang.The Intellectual Merit of the research project is to use a modeling framework to make a virtual laboratory for exploring the causal roles of demographic, economic and environmental factors that cannot be manipulated in the real world. and thus to shape a wide range of land-use systems globally and advance land-use theory.Broader Impacts of an EAPSI fellowship include providing the Fellow a first-hand research experience outside the U.S.; an introduction to the science, science policy, and scientific infrastructure of the respective location; and an orientation to the society, culture and language. These activities meet the NSF goal to educate for international collaborations early in the career of its scientists, engineers, and educators, thus ensuring a globally aware U.S. scientific workforce.
