Integrated Land-Ecosystem Atmosphere Process Study (iLEAPS)

“未来地球”是一个重大的全球研究方案，它是从以前关于人类发展、气候变化、全球环境变化和生物多样性的国际方案演变而来的。陆地生态系统-大气过程综合研究（iLEAPS）是未来地球的核心项目之一，由于人类对气候和环境的影响最大，iLEAPS的第二阶段（2014- 2024）将从自然原始环境研究转向自然与人类环境之间的相互作用研究。该项目还将调查气候系统、大气成分/空气质量、土地利用和土地覆盖变化、社会经济发展和人类决策之间存在的一系列复杂的相互作用。该研究将提供与未来地球在其2014年战略研究议程中确定的8个关键重点挑战相关的信息：1。为所有人提供水、能源和食物。使社会经济系统脱碳，以稳定气候3。保护陆地、淡水和海洋自然资产4。建设健康、有弹性和富有成效的城市5。促进可持续的农村未来，以养活不断增加和更富裕的人口6。通过改善人与环境的相互作用来改善人类健康7。鼓励可持续和公平的消费和生产模式8。提高社会对未来威胁的复原力LEAPS作为一个交流中心和协调员，在生态系统-大气交换领域进行世界范围的科学研究，并研究这些交换对8项社会挑战的影响。iLEAPS通过制定多学科的国际科学举措，通过将建模界与卫星、实验和实地观测专家聚集在一起，以及通过促进国际科学界的通信和联网，促进科学卓越。确保通过其网站和培训计划提供及时和相关的科学。NERC生态和水文中心（CEH）将于2016年接管iLEAPS国际项目办公室。CEH将开展以下活动，以增强iLEAPS项目的影响：* 与iLEAPS科学指导委员会合作，提供iLEAPS科学计划和优先研究课题 * 保持和加强与相关国际项目、区域和国家iLEAPS办事处的联系，* 通过支持早期职业科学家网络和支持发展中国家的讲习班和区域网络，促进能力建设 * 通过国家和国际委员会与未来地球合作，实现他们的愿景 * 争取更多资金支持这些活动2。* 维持和协调对iLEAPS网站的投入 * 主办、支持和资助讲习班和会议3。科学领导 * 启动新的，并保持现有的，科学倡议和项目4。科学产品 * 为全球社区生成集成产品 * 创建新的分析工具，用于分析实验和实地观察、卫星和计算机模型的数据

Future Earth is a major global research programme, which evolved from previous international programmes on human development, climate change, global environmental change and biodiversity. The integrated Land Ecosystem Atmosphere Process Study (iLEAPS) is a core project of Future Earth.As humans are now one of the strongest influences on climate and the environment, this second phase of iLEAPS (2014- 2024) is moving from research on natural pristine environments to investigating the interactions between natural and human environments. The project will also investigate the complex set of interactions that exist between the climate system, atmospheric composition/air quality, land use and land cover changes, socioeconomic development, and human decision-making. The research will provide information of relevance to the 8 key focal challenges identified by Future Earth in its 2014 Strategic Research Agenda:1. Deliver water, energy and food for all.2. Decarbonize socio-economic systems to stabilize the climate3. Safeguard the terrestrial, freshwater and marine natural assets4. Build healthy, resilient and productive cities5. Promote sustainable rural futures to feed rising and more affluent populations6. Improve human health through the improvement of human-environment interactions7. Encourage sustainable and equitable consumption and production patterns8. Increase social resilience to future threatsiLEAPS acts as a communication hub and coordinator of world-wide scientific research in the field of ecosystem-atmosphere exchanges and the impact of those exchanges on the 8 societal challenges. iLEAPS promotes scientific excellence through developing international science initiatives that are multi-disciplinary, through bringing together the modelling community with satellite, experimental and field observational experts and through enabling communication and networking across the international science community.iLEAPS promotes leadership in science through capacity building in developing countries and support to young or Early Career scientists by hosting workshops, ensuring timely and relevant science to be available through their website and through training programmes.The NERC Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) is taking over the iLEAPS International Project Office during 2016. CEH will undertake the activities below to enhance the impact of the iLEAPS project:1 .IPO Operation and Co-ordination Activities* Work with the iLEAPS Scientific Steering Committee to deliver the iLEAPS Science Plan and Priority Research Topics* Maintain and enhance connections with relevant international projects, regional and national iLEAPS offices, providing advocacy and enlisting wide international participation* Promote capacity building through support of the Early Career Scientist network and supporting workshops and regional networks in the developing world* Work with Future Earth through national and international committees to deliver their vision* Secure additional funding to support these activities2. Communication* Maintain and co-ordinate input to the iLEAPS website* Host, support and fund workshops and conferences3. Science leadership* Start new, and maintain existing, Science Initiatives and Projects 4. Science Products* Generate integrated products for the world-wide community* Create new analysis tools for analysing data from experimental and field observations, satellites and computer models
