This grant supports the workshop to discuss various materials aspects related to their utilization in extreme environments encountered in Alaska. The funding will enable around 30 participants from various countries to attend the workshop. This is the second in series with the first workshop conducted in Alaska in February 2001 where potential research areas were identified that would benefit Alaska with emphasis on manufacturing and materials aspects. In this second workshop, specific materials and manufacturing aspects will be discussed in detail. A major objective of the workshop is to bring together leading experts in materials research and manufacturing. Items that are to be discussed include materials issues in extreme environments, such as sub-zero temperatures and remote locations with particular attention to stimulate ideas to direct new or existing materials into commercial products such as those needed for transport surfaces, pipelines, entertainment, and communication. The goal of the workshop is to draft a short and long-term plan for Alaskan materials development and manufacturing.There are many challenging issues related to materials and manufacturing aspects pertaining to the extreme environmental conditions and remote access in Alaska. Roads, harbors, and buildings in arctic environments are generally built on permafrost and seismically unstable locations, and thus must function at sub-zero temperatures. There is a need for technological development of materials with regard to the special needs of the extreme arctic environment such as the effect on the landscape, energy consumption, and potential accidents. The preservation of the Alaskan environment is paramount in any commercial development. The workshop enables participation of experts from academia, government and industrial institutions in Alaska, surrounding countries and other parts of the United States. Efforts will be made to invite and recruit minorities. The organizers of the workshop will review the abstracts and potential candidates with possible collaborations will be given priority. This grant supports the travel and registration of around 30 selected participants.

该补助金支持研讨会讨论与阿拉斯加极端环境中使用相关的各种材料方面。这笔资金将使来自不同国家的大约30名与会者能够参加讲习班。这是继2001年2月在阿拉斯加举办的第一次研讨会之后的第二次研讨会，在这次研讨会上，确定了有利于阿拉斯加的潜在研究领域，重点是制造和材料方面。在第二次研讨会中，将详细讨论具体的材料和制造方面。研讨会的一个主要目标是汇集材料研究和制造领域的领先专家。将讨论的项目包括极端环境中的材料问题，如零度以下的温度和偏远地区，特别注意激发想法，将新的或现有的材料用于商业产品，如运输表面，管道，娱乐和通信所需的材料。该研讨会的目标是为阿拉斯加的材料开发和制造起草一个短期和长期计划。在阿拉斯加的极端环境条件和远程访问方面，有许多与材料和制造有关的挑战性问题。北极环境中的道路、港口和建筑物通常建在永久冻土和地震不稳定的地方，因此必须在零度以下的温度下运行。有必要针对极端北极环境的特殊需求，如对景观的影响，能源消耗和潜在事故，开发材料的技术。保护阿拉斯加的环境在任何商业开发中都是至关重要的。研讨会使来自阿拉斯加、周边国家和美国其他地区的学术界、政府和工业机构的专家能够参加。将努力邀请和招募少数民族。讲习班的组织者将审查这些摘要，有可能合作的潜在候选人将得到优先考虑。这笔赠款用于支助大约30名选定与会者的旅行和登记。
