This award provides support to hold the next international meeting of ice drilling and coring entities. This workshop is the 6th in a series extending back to 1974 that are held at irregular intervals. The last two workshops, held, in 1993 and 2000, were hosted in Japan. At the first meeting of the International Partnerships in Ice Core Sciences (IPICS), held in March of 2004, it was verified that the next workshop would be held in the United States. This proposal addresses that decision. An international workshop on ice-drilling technology in 2006 is particularly well timed due to the unprecedented number of successful deep-drilling projects that have been completed since the time of the last workshop in 2000, and the proliferation of shallow and medium-depth core recovery activities that have also been concluded successfully during this time. Ice coring technologies are currently in a state of rapid evolution due to the experience gained in the numerous recent deep drilling programs, the planning and development of a new deep-capacity drill system in the United States, and the requirements for new science activities that are pushing the limits of known, demonstrated drilling capabilities. This workshop will provide the opportunity for entities currently engaged in ice drilling and coring activities to share the results of the most recent projects and present their solutions to challenges encountered in the field during drilling operations. Participants will also benefit by learning from each other about planned activities and future challenges that will result from new activities that have never been attempted before (e.g. subglacial lake drilling). The broader impacts of the workshop involve the opportunity for the drilling community to continue discussions on shared and collaborative activities that will permit the effective transfer of new technologies to the world-wide community and to seek opportunities for new joint or shared activities that will potentially lead to a more global approach to the proliferation of best technologies in this field.

该奖项为举行下一次冰钻和取芯实体国际会议提供支持。本次研讨会是自1974年以来不定期举办的系列研讨会中的第六次。1993年和2000年举行的最后两次讲习班是在日本举办的。在2004年3月举行的冰芯科学国际伙伴关系第一次会议上，证实下一次讲习班将在美国举行。本提案针对这一决定。2006年举办一次关于钻冰技术的国际讲习班的时机特别好，因为自2000年上一次讲习班以来，成功完成的深钻项目数量空前，而且在这一期间也成功完成了浅层和中深层岩心回收活动。冰取芯技术目前正处于快速发展的状态，这是由于在许多最近的深钻计划中获得的经验，美国新的深钻系统的规划和开发，以及对新的科学活动的要求，这些活动正在推动已知的，已证明的钻探能力的极限。本次研讨会将为目前从事冰钻探和取芯活动的实体提供机会，分享最新项目的成果，并针对钻探作业期间在现场遇到的挑战提出解决方案。与会者还将受益于相互学习计划中的活动以及以前从未尝试过的新活动（如冰下湖泊钻探）所带来的未来挑战。讲习班更广泛的影响是，钻井界有机会继续讨论共同和协作活动，以便向全世界有效转让新技术，并寻找机会开展新的联合或共同活动，从而有可能导致对这一领域最佳技术的推广采取更全球性的办法。
