Travel Support for U.S. Participants in Workshop on Glaciers, Ice Sheets, and Sea Level; Fjaerland, Norway; June 21-22, 1996

摘要 ATM-9612799 Bentley, Charles R. 威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校 标题：为美国参加 SCAR/IASC/PAGES 冰川、冰盖和海平面研讨会的美国参与者提供支持，1996 年 6 月 21-22 日在挪威 Fjaerland 世界冰体含有足够的水，如果完全融化，可使全球海平面上升 70m 以上。 冰川和冰盖可能是当今海平面上升的主要水源，但不确定性很大。 在评估冰块变化对海平面变化的影响时，必须考虑地球上的所有冰川。 此外，有必要考虑过去冰盖变化的历史，以便解释当前的变化并预测未来的变化。 为了评估海平面变化中的所有这些因素，并为评估研究项目指明方向，将在挪威举办一个关于冰川、冰盖和海平面之间全球相互作用的研讨会。 该奖项将使美国受邀者能够参加研讨会。

Abstract ATM-9612799 Bentley, Charles R. University of Wisconsin, Madison Title: Support for U.S. Participants in SCAR/IASC/PAGES Workshop on Glaciers, Ice Sheets, and Sea Level, June 21-22, 1996 in Fjaerland, Norway The ice bodies of the world contain sufficient water to raise world-wide sea level by more than 70m if melted completely. Glaciers and ice sheets might be a major source of water for the present-day rise in sea level, but the uncertainty is large. All glacial ice on the Earth must be considered in evaluating the contribution of changing ice masses to changing sea level. Furthermore, it is necessary to consider the history of past ice-sheet changes in order to interpret the present changes and predict those of the future. To evaluate all these factors in sea- level changes and to point the way towards research programs to evaluate, a Workshop will be held in Norway on the global interactions between glaciers, ice sheets, and sea level. This award will make possible the participation by U.S. invitees in the Workshop.
