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

0000515 Bindschadler该奖项是对过去几年由美国宇航局/GSFC的Bob Bindschalder博士主持的西南极冰盖计划研讨会的继续支持。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：未来海平面和快速气候变化。WAIS是多学科的，所要求的支持是促进持续的跨学科互动。WAIS讲习班始于1990年--首先是制定WAIS的目标，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论述，并每年评估实现WAIS目标的进展情况。这里提供的资金将通过协助通知、组织和执行今后三年的世界首脑会议年度讲习班来支持今后的世界首脑会议讲习班。此外，这笔资金将用于通过提供旅行津贴来进一步加强这些讲习班，以吸引WAIS工作组认为是进一步加强WAIS方案的关键人员的新参与者。

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.
