Workshop on Tropical Climate Variability Beyond the Historic Record

该奖项有助于支持2003年夏天在南加州大学举行的题为“超越历史记录的热带气候变化”的会议。具体而言，该奖项为大约20名在陆地和海洋气候方面具有专业知识的科学家提供旅行支持，以参加综合现代早期全新世最新科学研究的报告和讨论。厄尔尼诺/南方涛动（ENSO）现象的最后冰川记录。会议的目标是汇集国际公认的气候学家，建模师，地球化学家，古海洋学家和古气候学家，分享热带气候和ENSO的最新想法。 与会者，其中包括经验丰富的研究人员，新的调查人员和学生，将制作和分发一份文件，综合和总结会议的议事录和调查结果，供更广泛的科学界审查。 这样，就能够就这一重要议题公开和活跃地交换意见。

This award helps support a conference entitled, "Tropical Climate Variability Beyond the Historic Record" at the University of Southern California in the summer of 2003.Specifically, the award provides travel support for approximately twenty scientists with expertise in terrestrial and marine aspects of climate to participate in presentations and discussions that synthesize the latest scientific research on modern-day, early Holocene, and last glacial records of the El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. The goal of the conference is to bring together an internationally recognized group of climatologists, modelers, geochemists, paleoceanographers, and paleoclimatologists to share the latest ideas on tropical climates and ENSO. The participants, which include seasoned researchers, new investigators, and students, will produce and distribute a document synthesizing and summarizing the conference proceedings and findings for examination by the wider scientific community. In this manner, an open and lively exchange of views on this important topic will be enabled.
