A Workshop to Examine the Application of Scientific Drillingto the Solution of Antarctic Earth-Science Objectives

这笔赠款是为了支持一个研讨会，以审查申请 科学钻探解决了地球上 南极的科学问题。 在南极洲，98 百分之一的大陆被冰包裹， 先进的技术，如地层钻探， 地球物理和冰川学目标，将是一个重要的 美国的研究能力。 这一努力在 对国家科学院建议的回应 （《南极固体地球科学研究，未来指南》） 《十年及以后》，1987年）。 研讨会计划在春季举行 1988年在哥伦布，俄亥俄州，并将汇集专家在所有 冰/岩石钻探阶段的科学目的。 这次会议是南极地学的一个重要方面 研究计划，并将指出未来的新方向 在这个领域的研究。

This grant is in support of a workshop to examine the application of scientific drilling to the solution of a wide array of earth science problems in the Antarctic. In the Antarctic, where 98 percent of the continent is encased in ice, the application of advanced technologies, such as drilling for stratigraphic, geophysical and glaciological objectives, will be an important addition to U.S. research capabilities. This effort is in response to recommendations by the National Academy of Sciences ("Antarctic Solid-Earth Sciences Research, A Guide for the Next Decade and Beyond," 1987). The workshop is planned for the spring of 1988 in Columbus, Ohio, and will bring together experts in all phases of ice/rock drilling for scientific objectives. The meeting is an important aspect of the Antarctic geoscience research program and will point to new directions for future research in this area.
