Workshop Support: West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Workshop Support in Sterling, Virginia, September 27-30, 2000

0000515 bindschadler这个奖项是为了支持西南极冰盖（WAIS）项目的延续，该项目由Bob Bindschalder博士在过去几年里在NASA/GSFC开展。WAIS项目成功地将南极研究界的广泛领域集中在两个紧迫的全球问题上：未来的海平面和快速的气候变化。WAIS是多学科的，所要求的支持是为了促进持续的跨学科互动。世界卫生组织的讲习班于1990年开始，首先是制订世界卫生组织的目标，并从1992年开始在一个论坛上交流和介绍科学发现，在这个论坛上促进跨学科的科学讨论，并每年评估世界卫生组织目标的进展情况。这里提供的资金将通过协助通知、组织和执行未来三年的年度WAIS研讨会来支持未来的WAIS研讨会。此外，这些资金将通过提供旅行津贴来进一步加强这些讲习班，以吸引被WAIS工作组认为是进一步加强WAIS计划的关键人物的新参与者。

0000515 BindschadlerThis award is for support for continuation of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Program workshops that have been run by Dr. Bob Bindschalder at NASA/GSFC for the last several years. The WAIS program has successfully focused a broad cross-section of the Antarctic research community on two urgent global issues: future sea level and rapid climate changes. WAIS is multidisciplinary and the requested support is to foster continued cross-disciplinary interaction. WAIS workshops began in 1990-first to formulate the objectives of WAIS and, beginning in 1992, to exchange and present scientific findings in a forum where cross-disciplinary scientific discourse was promoted and progress toward WAIS goals could be annually assessed. The funds provided here are to support future WAIS workshops by assisting in the notification, organization and execution of the annual WAIS workshops for the next three years. In addition, the funds will be used to further enhance these workshops by offering travel stipends to attract new participants deemed by the WAIS working group to be key persons in further enhancing the WAIS program.
