Support for the U.S. National Office for Earth System History (ESH)

该奖项是为了支持美国地球物理联合会（AGU）在美国全球变化研究计划（USGCRP）的地球系统历史（ESH）项目中为美国研究活动的协调提供领导和管理结构。位于AGU的地球生态环境秘书处将为地球生态环境指导委员会提供支持服务，并与国际地圈-生物圈计划（IGBP）的过去全球变化国际努力（PAGES）进行互动和联系。这些努力将包括支持环境科学技术指导委员会的活动，以及旨在为环境科学技术项目的优先事项和目标提供古科学界投入的其他活动。讲习班、规划会议和出版物将确保达到项目的目标，并以有效的方式执行项目。

This award is for support of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) to provide the leadership and management structure for the coordination of U.S. research activities in connection with the Earth System History (ESH) Project of the United States Global Change Research Program (USGCRP). The ESH Secretariat at AGU will provide support services for the ESH Steering Committee and a point of interaction and contact with the international effort in Past Global Changes (PAGES) of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP). These efforts will include supporting activities of the ESH Steering Committee and other activities designed to generate paleoscience community input to ESH Project priorities and objectives. Workshops, planning meetings and publications will insure that the goals of the project are met and that implementation of the project is carried out in an effective manner.
