This project will provide travel support for six US investigators, including graduate students, to participate in a workshop on Antarctic Sea Ice Thickness, scheduled for 5-7 July 2006, in conjunction with the SCAR meetings in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. The ICSU/WMO Joint Steering Committee for the International Polar Year has approved Antarctic Sea Ice in IPY, as the coordinating project on antarctic sea ice for the IPY period 2007-2009. This workshop will start the coordination of planned data collection efforts on sea ice thickness, using airborne, satellite and surface methods, and will include planning for the archiving, synthesis and quality control of the data sets collected by various methodologies. Participation in the workshop will strengthen existing, and establish new, strategic alliances between US scientists and scientists from other countries active in sea ice research. It will also provide increased access to new technologies and address key objectives within the US Antarctic Program. The workshop will provide a forum to identify key gaps in our knowledge of antarctic sea ice, and to consider future field campaigns and validation experiments to address these. One aim of this workshop is to focus on emerging technologies for measuring sea ice thickness, and to establish new research programs that link these technologies together.

该项目将为包括研究生在内的六名美国调查人员提供旅行支持，以参加计划于2006年7月5日至7日举行的有关南极海冰厚度的研讨会，并与澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚州霍巴特的疤痕会议一起参加。 国际极性年度ICSU/WMO联合指导委员会已批准了IPY的南极海冰，这是2007 - 2009年IPY时期南极海冰的协调项目。 该研讨会将使用机载，卫星和表面方法开始计划对海冰厚度的计划收集工作，并包括计划各种方法收集的数据集的归档，合成和质量控制。参加研讨会将加强现有的现有，并在美国科学家与活跃于海冰研究的其他国家之间建立新的战略联盟。它还将提供更多的访问新技术并解决美国南极计划中的关键目标。 该研讨会将提供一个论坛，以确定我们对南极海冰知识中的关键差距，并考虑未来的现场运动和验证实验以解决这些问题。该研讨会的目的之一是专注于测量海冰厚度的新兴技术，并建立将这些技术联系起来的新研究计划。
