초록

미국과학재단(NSF) 지구과학위원회(GEO)의 지질과학사업단(EAR)은 미국의 국가 전략적 필요성에 직접적으로 적용될 수 있는 지구시스템에 관한 기반 기초 지식을 얻기 위한 기초연구를 지원하고 있다. 2011년도에 국가과학위원회(NAS)의 지구과학 신규 연구유망주제위원회는 향후 10년 동안에 급격한 발전에의 대응을 위한 지질과학분야 기초 과학연구의 특정주제를 도출하였다. 다학제적 접근에 의해 정리한 지질과학사업단의 심부지질과정과 지표지질과정분야 유망주제들은 (1)초기 지구연구, (2)열-화학적 내부 동력학 및 휘발성분 분포, (3)단층작용과 변형과정, (4)기후, 지표변화, 판구조, 심부지구과정의 상호작용, (5)생명, 환경 및 기후의 공동 진화, (6)자연과 인위적 변화에 동조화된 수리지형-생태계 반응, (7)육상환경과 글로벌 변화영향에서 생화학 및 물순환 등이다. 우리나라에서도 임계구역 연구(Critical Zone studies) 등의 미래분야의 연구가 활발하게 추진되고 있다. 이러한 미래의 거대연구를 활발하게 추진하기 위해서는 추가 연구지원 정책이 필요하다.

The essential role of the Division of Earth Sciences(EAR) in the Directorate of Geoscience(GEO) of National Science Foundation of America(NSF) is to support basic research aimed at acquiring fundamental knowledge of the Earth system that can be directly applied to the United States' strategic needs. The 2011 Committee on New Research Opportunities in the Earth Sciences(NROES) of the National Academy of Sciences(NAS) identified specific areas of the basic earth science research scope of the EAR that were poised for rapid progress during the next decade. Quantified by interdisciplinary approaches, the Committee highlighted the following topics relating to the EAR Deep Earth Processes and Surface Earth Processes sections: (1) the early Earth; (2) thermochemical internal dynamics and volatile distribution; (3) faulting and deformation processes; (4) interactions among climate, the Earth surface processes, tectonics, and deep Earth processes; (5) co-evolution of life, environment, and climate; (6) coupled hydrogeomorphic-ecosystem response to natural and anthropogenic change; and (7) interactions of biogeochemical and water cycles in terrestrial environments. We also promote future research challenges such as the critical zone studies. In order to promote more active such a huge future research challenges, additional research support policies are needed.
