Margins Workshop On The Waipaoa Source-to-Sink Focus Area

资金提供了一个研讨会的CA。40名美国和新西兰科学家对MARGINS计划下的Waipaoa沉积系统研究感兴趣。新西兰北岛的Waipaoa河及其离岸分散系统是MARGINS下“源到汇”倡议选定的两个重点领域之一。会议将讨论关于该系统的已知情况和为开发有意义的模型需要监测的内容的概要，以及研究执行计划的细节。讲习班将使MARGINS对Waipaoa系统的研究规划更加协调，计划中的实地考察将使与会者获得该系统陆地部分和所涉科学问题的第一手经验。讲习班被视为朝着为这一重点领域的研究制定一套综合协调的研究建议迈出的重要一步。计划向NSF提交研讨会报告。

Funds are provided for a workshop of ca. 40 US and New Zealand scientists interested in the study of the Waipaoa sedimentary system under the MARGINS program. Waipaoa River and its offshore dispersal system on the North Island of New Zealand is one of the two chosen focus areas of the "source-to-sink" initiative under MARGINS. A synopsis of what is known about the system and what needs to be monitored for developing meaningful models, as well as details of an implementation plan for research will be discussed at the meeting. The workshop will allow a more coordinated planning for MARGINS research on the Waipaoa system and the planned field trip will allow participants with first-hand experience of the on-land part of the system and the scientific issues involved. The workshop is seen as an important step towards developing a well-integrated and coordinated set of research proposals for the study of this focus area. A workshop report to NSF is planned.
