由中科院地理资源所和普渡大学牵头的“绿色合作伙伴计划”是中美能源和环境十年合作框架下中美两国有关地方政府和机构之间开展具体结对合作的一个平台。中方的牵头部门是国家发展改革委,美方的牵头部门是国务院。

　　这个绿色合作伙伴包括中科院地理资源所、普渡大学、生态环境研究中心、沈阳应用生态研究所、田纳西大学、橡树岭国家实验室。每年的年会是一个主要合作交流方式，每年都有来自20多个院所的科研人员参加。

　　今年的年会是10月22-24 日在美国普渡大学召开，会议题目是Critical zone science,sustainability,and services in a changing world. 

　　会议主题包括以下但不一定局限于此： 

　　a. Near surface flux of solid, dissolved, and gaseous C and N from soil, weathered outcrop, and litter organic matter in catchments 

　　b. CZ services and functions regulating anthropogenic-sourced contaminant reactivity, mobility, and mean residence time  

　　c. Mechanisms of stabilization/destabilization of organic matter in soils 

　　d.The role of hydrology and mineralogy in the deep connectivity of dissolved organic matter and associated inorganic elements in the CZ  

　　e. Climate and land use regulation of C, N, and water cycles in terrestrial ecosystems.  

　  一是美国关键带网络有机质工作组举办的2015年专题讨论会（关键带中有机质的通量、稳定性、和反应性），有3个议题：  

　　Three workshops are planned and include  

　　1) multivariate and chemometric methods for large and complex data set analysis in CZ science,  

　　2) organic matter dynamics as controlled by erosion and deposition,  

　　3) mineralogical controls on soil and sediment OM reactivity and persistence.   

　　二是（CUAHSI）仪器培训短期课程（给研究生组织的），10月21日就开始。an educational activity in the form of a CUAHSI instrument training short course on “The Role of Runoff and Erosion on Soil Carbon Stocks: From Soilscapes to Landscapes”.  

　　The course, beginning on October 21, one day prior to the main conference activities, is aimed at graduate students and designed to inform participants about the state-of-the-art instrumentation and measurements that are available for quantifying carbon dynamics in Intensively Managed Landscapes (IMLs).  This course will examine the key processes that define carbon budget in intensively managed landscapes, which include erosion, litter incorporation into the soil profile, microbial activity/ respiration, and stabilization in aggregates.  Field demonstrations of mobile rainfall simulators will be used demonstrate soil movement, deposition, and reactivity with a variety of field and lab-based tools. A separate registration portal will be established for interested graduate and postdoctoral researchers.
