Core Support for the Geographical Sciences Committee at the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine

该奖项为美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院的地理科学委员会(GSC)提供持续的核心支持。对全球科学委员会的持续支持将使该委员会能够通过圆桌会议和研究将学者、私营部门和政府研究人员以及政策制定者聚集在一起，就地理科学中最具挑战性和最重大的问题达成共识。GSC将继续提供一个论坛，通过这个论坛，相关领域的地理学家和研究人员可以对科学的现状进行评估，并探索未来的研究机会。GSC将发挥关键的中介作用，促进政府机构和研究人员在学术、非营利和私营部门环境中的互动，从而促进广泛的研究人员和组织在国家一级的地理科学和政策界面上进行建设性对话的能力。该委员会还将通过其作为美国国际地理联盟全国委员会的角色，推动地理学家和相关科学家在国际上发挥的作用。美国国家科学院于1997年成立了地理科学委员会，将地理科学的理论和观点应用于社会问题。GSC就所有与地理有关的问题向国家科学院提供建议。GSC通过充当与其他国家地理组织的联络人并发起这些组织之间的合作研究项目来促进国际合作，它还作为美国与国际地理联盟(IGU)的官方联络人，促进和促进美国地理学家参与IGU。GSC通过开展专题研究和举行会议来开展工作。全球科学委员会将确定需要进一步研究的主题，使地理科学界能够处理具有社会意义的问题。GSC还将开展范围更广的外联活动，例如网络研讨会和讲习班，重点是使用地理信息系统使城市机动性更可持续和野地火灾管理的长期方法等主题。

This award provides continued core support for the Geographical Sciences Committee (GSC) of the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine. Continued support for the GSC will enable this committee to bring academics, private sector and government researchers, and policy makers together through roundtables and studies to reach consensus on the most challenging and significant issues in the geographical sciences. The GSC will continue to provide a forum through which geographers and researchers in related fields may conduct assessments of the current state of the science and explore future research opportunities. The GSC will serve a critical intermediary role by facilitating interactions between government agencies and researchers in academic, nonprofit, and private sector settings, thereby facilitating capabilities for a broad range of researchers and organizations to engage in constructive dialogue at the interface of geographical science and policy at the national level. The committee also will advance the role that geographers and related scientists play internationally through its role as the U.S. national committee for the International Geographical Union.The National Academies established a Geographical Sciences Committee in 1997 to bring the theories and perspectives of the geographical sciences to bear on society's problems. The GSC has provided advice to the National Academies on all matters pertaining to geography. The GSC has fostered international cooperation by serving as a liaison to other national geographical organizations and by initiating collaborative research programs among those organizations, and it has served as the official U.S. liaison to the International Geographical Union (IGU), promoting and facilitating participation of U.S. geographers in the IGU. The GSC undertakes its work through the conduct of special studies and through its meetings. The GSC will identify topics for further study that enable the geographical sciences community to address problems of societal significance. The GSC also will conduct an enhanced range of outreach activities, such as webinars and workshops focusing on topics like the use of geographic information systems to make urban mobility more sustainable and long-term approaches for wildland fire management.
