摘要

在这篇文章中,我们探讨了 "刚果河:用户水力学和形态学"(CRuHM)项目的科学和可持续研究能力成果,该项目由英国皇家学会非洲能力建设计划支持,历时六年。该项目汇集了非洲和英国的多所大学,对刚果河流域进行了现代首次大规模科学考察,以更好地了解这条研究不足但具有全球重要性的河流的水力学和地貌学。该河流对流域内 10 个国家的航运、灌溉、饮用水和水力发电至关重要,对生物多样性以及全球养分、碳和气候循环也极为重要。这篇文章总结了该项目带来的新的科学认识,以及为确保在有限的可用资金使用期限之后仍能继续留下有意义的遗产而采取的措施。为实现这一目标而采取的行动包括在金沙萨大学建立一个新的水文研究中心,以及采取措施建立一个更广泛的刚果盆地研究人员国际社区。我们希望通过这种方式,为今后的资助活动和合作造势。

Creating sustainable capacity for river science in the Congo basin through the CRuHM project.

In this article, we examine the scientific and sustainable research capacity outcomes of the 'Congo River: user Hydraulics and Morphology' or CRuHM project, a six-year effort supported by the Royal Society's Africa Capacity Building Initiative. This project brought together a consortium of African and UK universities to undertake the first large-scale scientific expeditions to the Congo basin of the modern era in order to better understand the hydraulics and geomorphology of this understudied but globally important river. The river is essential for navigation, irrigation, drinking water and hydroelectric power generation for the 10 basin countries and is critically important for biodiversity and global nutrient, carbon and climatological cycles. This article summarizes the new scientific understanding contributed by the project and the steps taken to ensure a meaningful legacy that would continue long beyond the finite lifetime of available funding. Actions taken to achieve this include establishing a new hydrology research centre at the University of Kinshasa as well as steps to build a wider international community of Congo basin researchers. In this way, we hope to build momentum for future funding initiatives and collaboration.

期刊介绍: Each Interface Focus themed issue is devoted to a particular subject at the interface of the physical and life sciences. Formed of high-quality articles, they aim to facilitate cross-disciplinary research across this traditional divide by acting as a forum accessible to all. Topics may be newly emerging areas of research or dynamic aspects of more established fields. Organisers of each Interface Focus are strongly encouraged to contextualise the journal within their chosen subject.
