OISE-0536909Thackray, Glenn (Idaho State University), "U.S.-China Workshop on Mountain Glacier Fluctuations"ABSTRACTDr. Glenn Thackray of Idaho State University will organize a workshop in China on mountain glacier fluctuations, in conjunction with Dr. Lewis Owens of the University of Cincinnati and Dr. Chaolu Yi of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research. Mountain glaciers are sensitive climatic indicators, and their fluctuations permit evaluation of several hypotheses regarding climatic changes in tropical, subtropical, mid-latitude, and sub-polar regions of both hemispheres. As additional chronological data constraining mountain glacier fluctuations are generated, particularly with increasing usage of cosmogenic and luminescence techniques, it is essential to design a) a conceptual framework for evaluating the temporal and spatial distribution of mountain glacier fluctuations and b) a community research plan to obtain critical data. The conceptual framework and research plan are the goals of the proposed workshop.The workshop will consist of a three-day assembly in Beijing or Llasa as well as a three-day visit to field research sites on the Tibetan Plateau in May or September 2006. It will involve approximately 15 U.S. participants, including four graduate students, one undergraduate student, and one high school science teacher as well as 9-10 senior and junior researchers. The researchers represent at least nine U.S. universities and include members of underrepresented minorities. Researchers from the United Kingdom, Austria, India and New Zealand are expected to join those from the U.S. and China at the meeting.Workshop results will be disseminated through an edited journal volume, archiving of the compiled data into a web database, and conference presentations. In addition, the high school teacher on the U.S. team will develop web-related materials of interest to high school teachers and students.

OISE-0536909THACKRARY，GLENN（爱达荷州立大学），“山冰川波动的美国 - 中国式研讨会”摘要。爱达荷州立大学的格伦·塔克里（Glenn Thackray）将与辛辛那提大学的刘易斯·欧文斯（Lewis Owens）和中国科学院藏科学院中国科学院的Chaolu yi博士一起在中国进行山冰川波动的研讨会。山地冰川是敏感的气候指标，它们的波动允许评估有关两个半球的热带，亚热带，中纬度和亚极点区域气候变化的几种假设。由于产生了其他时间顺序数据限制山地冰川波动，尤其是随着宇宙和发光技术的使用增加，必须设计a）一种概念框架，用于评估山地冰川波动的时间和空间分布，以及b）社区研究计划以获得关键数据。概念框架和研究计划是拟议研讨会的目标。该研讨会将由北京或LLASA的为期三天的集会以及2006年5月或2006年9月对藏族高原的实地研究地点进行为期三天的访问。它将涉及四名研究生，包括四名研究生的学生，包括一名学生，一名学生，以及一名学生和一名高中生的老师，以及9岁的高年级学生，以及一名9岁的学生。研究人员至少代表美国九所大学，包括代表性不足的少数群体的成员。预计来自英国，奥地利，印度和新西兰的研究人员将与来自美国和中国的人一起参加会议。Workshop结果将通过编辑的期刊数量，将编译的数据归档到Web数据库中以及会议演示文稿中传播。此外，美国团队的高中老师将为高中教师和学生开发与网络相关的材料。
