Graduate Student Travel Support for CliC Meeting in Beijing, 2005

这项提议将为大约五名研究生中国到北京参加首届气候与冰冻圈国际科学会议提供资金支持。该会议的主要赞助商是气候与冰冻圈项目，该项目是在世界气候研究计划和南极研究科学委员会(SCAR)下建立的，旨在协调作为全球气候系统组成部分的冰的研究。旅行补助金的获得者将由五名公认的极地气候专家组成的小组进行挑选。从一群申请者中挑选出一份被接受的会议摘要。选择标准将包括摘要的科学内容、地理和其他多样性考虑因素以及与CLIC项目领域的相关性。首席研究员是美国极地研究界公认的领袖，并参与了多项关于北极和南极冰川学和气候的研究。在我们对冰冻圈的气候影响的思考上，他取得了许多进展。这项提议进一步促进了让年轻的极地科学家参与国际研究界的计划利益，并促进了各级的科学互动。

This proposal will provide funds for the support of round trip air travel of approximately five graduate students from U.S. institutions to Beijing, China, to participate in the First Climate and Cryosphere International Science Conference.The primary sponsor of the conference is the Climate and Cryosphere (CliC) project, which was established under the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) as a mechanism to coordinate the study of ice as an integral part of the global climate system.The selection of recipients of the travel grant will be conducted by a panel of five recognized polar climate experts, from a pool of applicants who have an accepted abstract for the meeting. Selection criteria will include the scientific content of the abstract, geographic and other diversity considerations, and relevance to CliC project areas. The principal investigator is the acknowledged leader of the U.S. polar research community, and has participated in a number of studies of both arctic and antarctic glaciology and climate. He has been responsible for many of the advances in our thinking about the climatic effects of the cryosphere.The proposal furthers programmatic interests in involving young polar scientists with the international research community, and fostering scientific interaction at all levels.
