The Role of the Southern Ocean and Antarctica in Global Change: An Ocean Drilling Perspective

该奖项为将在加州大学圣巴巴拉分校举行的为期三天的会议提供部分支持，该会议的主题是“南大洋和南极洲在全球变化中的作用：海洋钻探的视角”。主要目标将是讨论和综合最近南极和亚南极海洋钻探计划（ODP）第113、114、119、120和121段的数据。重点将是更好地了解南极地区从晚白垩纪到新生代的环境和生物演化及其对全球环境演化的影响。这次会议将推动建立一套广泛综合的南极地区晚白垩世-新生代环境演化的研究，这些研究成果主要是在这些考察中获得的。在会议上提交的综合论文（经过同行评审）将通过海洋钻探计划或美国地球物理联盟的南极研究系列发表在综合卷中。

This award provides partial support of a three day conference dealing with "The Role of the Southern Ocean and Antarctica in Global Change: an Ocean Drilling Perspective" to be held at the University of California at Santa Barbara. The primary objective will be to discuss and synthesize the data from the recent Antarctic and Subantarctic Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Legs 113, 114, 119, 120 and 121. The emphasis will be to develop a better understanding of the environmental and biotic evolution of the Antarctic region during the Late Cretaceous through the Cenozoic and the effect this had on global environmental evolution. The proposed conference will provide an impetus for the construction of a set of broad syntheses of Late Cretaceous- Cenozoic environmental evolution of the Antarctic region based on results largely gained during these expeditions. The synthesis papers presented at the meeting will be published (after peer review) in a synthesis volume either through in Ocean Drilling Program or in the American Geophysical Union's Antarctic Research Series.
