This award, provided by the Office of Polar Programs (OPP) of the National Science Foundation (NSF), provides support for U.S. participation in an international workshop and associated planning activities of the Antarctic Neotectonics (ANTEC) initiative. The goal of the ANTEC program is to improve understanding of the unique character of the neotectonic regime of the Antarctic plate, including measurement of, and discrimination between, glacial and tectonic kinematic signals, mapping the structure of the Antarctic lithosphere and asthenosphere, investigating the stress field and seismotectonic features of the Antarctic plate, and understanding the nature of coupling between tectonics, climate and erosion. A workshop at the Certosa di Pontignano, Siena, Italy, will bring together scientists active in Antarctic neotectonics research to assess the current status of neotectonic research programs, and to develop a detailed science plan for future research. Nearly 45% of the research projects currently funded by the Antarctic Geology and Geophysics Program of NSF-OPP are either focused directly on, or are pertinent to, Antarctic neotectonic science themes. Consequently, broad representation of the U.S. research community at the ANTEC workshop is important. Funds provided by this award will support U.S. participation in the workshop and will cover costs associated with dissemination of the workshop results through publication of a workshop report, a brochure summarizing the ANTEC initiative, and via the ANTEC web site.

该奖项由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）极地项目办公室（Office of Polar Programs）提供，为美国参与南极新构造（ANTEC）倡议的国际研讨会和相关规划活动提供支持。ANTEC方案的目标是增进对南极板块新构造状态独特性的了解，包括测量和区分冰川和构造运动学信号，绘制南极岩石圈和软流圈结构图，调查南极板块的应力场和地震构造特征，了解构造、气候和侵蚀之间相互作用的性质。在意大利锡耶纳的Certosa di Pontignano举办的一个讲习班将汇集活跃于南极新构造研究的科学家，以评估新构造研究方案的现状，并为今后的研究制定详细的科学计划。近45%的研究项目，目前资助的南极地质和地球物理计划的国家科学基金会-南极洲要么直接集中在，或有关，南极新构造科学的主题。因此，美国研究界在ANTEC研讨会上的广泛代表性非常重要。该奖项提供的资金将支持美国参加研讨会，并将支付通过出版研讨会报告、概述ANTEC倡议的小册子和通过ANTEC网站传播研讨会成果的相关费用。
