Workshop: Group Travel Grant - 2nd SCAR Open Science Conference - "Antarctica in the Earth System"

该奖项支持美国参加将于2006年7月在澳大利亚霍巴特举行的第二届SCAR开放科学会议。南极研究科学委员会（SCAR）会议是一个涵盖当前南极研究各个方面的国际会议。它的重点将是南极过程和地球系统之间的密切耦合。会议将重点介绍最近的成果和未来合作的机会，这对为即将到来的2007-2009国际极地年制定项目是及时的。就更广泛的影响而言，本次研讨会将促进国际合作，拓宽美国科学家的视野，并为下一代科学家提供与该领域领导者互动的机会。该奖项还将为来自代表性不足群体的申请人以及早期职业科学家和学生提供支持。会议成果将对理解全球气候变化具有社会意义，SCAR研讨会的开幕日将引起媒体和公众对会议的关注。

This award supports US-participation in The 2nd SCAR Open Science Conference to be held in Hobart, Australia in July 2006. The SCAR (Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research) Conference is an international meeting covering all aspects of current Antarctic research. Its focus will be the close couplings between Antarctic processes and the Earth System. Recent results and opportunities for future cooperation will be highlighted, which is timely for developing projects for the forthcoming International Polar Year 2007-2009. In terms of broader impacts, this workshop will promote international collaboration, broaden the perspective of U.S. scientists, and provide an opportunity for the next generation of scientists to interact with leaders in the field. This award will also provide support for applicants from underrepresented groups, as well as early career scientists and students. Outcomes will have societal relevance in understanding global climate change, and the opening days of the SCAR Symposium will bring the meeting to the attention of the media and general public.
