IPY: Collaborative Research: The NEEM Deep Ice Core

这是包括科罗拉多大学和堪萨斯大学在内的几个机构的合作提案。主要研究人员要求资金支持美国科学家参与国际极地年（IPY）的NEEM项目，在格陵兰岛北方钻探新的深冰芯，以解决过去和未来的环境和气候问题。具体目标将包括获得最后一个间冰期的气候记录，Eemain。这一时期比今天更温暖，是未来潜在气候的最佳模拟。这个核心和雷达测绘将提供格陵兰冰盖的大小的限制，当海平面比今天高出许多米。 这个岩芯应该可以揭示出在Eemian时期是否发生了气候突变。此类信息应能更好地预测未来气候突变，并增进人们对人类对气候和环境的改变如何与自然气候变化相适应的日益增长的认识。NEEM是由哥本哈根大学冰川学小组领导的一项国际努力。15个国家表示希望参与，最初的提议被缩减为资助首席研究员James白色博士的旅行和规划会议，作为”在NEEM核心钻探之前“的占位符。 Claude Laird博士的雷达项目将主要由NSF的CReSIS（STC）计划提供支持。 提交的提案还为时过早，在核心被取回之前不会得到资助，并且可以肯定的是，已经钻取了高质量的Eemian冰，否则这将只是另一个格陵兰岛深处的核心，与GISP 2或GRIP核心没有任何新的或不同。 丹麦人刚刚收到核心的资金，所以最早的钻探可以在2007/2008年和最早的核心可以通过Eemian检索是2009年。莱尔德博士将获得资助，因为这是至关重要的，表面雷达完成，以便最好的网站可以选择钻探。 主要研究人员请求资金支持美国科学家参与国际极地年（IPY）NEEM项目，在格陵兰岛北方钻探新的深冰芯，以研究过去和未来的环境和气候。具体目标将包括获得最后一个间冰期的气候记录，Eemain。这一时期比今天更温暖，是未来潜在气候的最佳模拟。这个核心和雷达测绘将提供格陵兰冰盖的大小的限制，当海平面比今天高出许多米。 这一核心应该揭示，如果突然的气候变化发生在温暖的Eemian时期。此类信息应能更好地预测未来气候突变，并增进人们对人类对气候和环境的改变如何与自然气候变化相适应的日益增长的认识。NEEM是由哥本哈根大学冰川学小组领导的一项国际努力。15个国家表示愿意参加，最初的提议被减少到资助首席研究员James白色博士的旅行和规划会议，作为“占位符”，直到NEEM核心钻探完成。 Claude Laird博士的雷达项目将主要由NSF的CReSIS（STC）计划提供支持。 提交的这一提议还为时过早，在核心被取回之前不会得到资助，并且可以肯定的是，已经钻取了高质量的Eemian冰，否则这将只是另一个格陵兰岛深处的核心，与GISP 2或GRIP核心没有任何新的或独特的东西。 丹麦人刚刚收到核心的资金，所以最早的钻探可以在2007/2008年和最早的核心可以通过Eemian检索是2009年。莱尔德博士将获得资助，因为这是至关重要的，表面雷达完成，以便最好的网站可以选择钻探。

ABSTRACTWhiteOPP-0632222LairdOPP-0632105This is a collaborative proposal among several institutions including the Universities of Colorado and Kansas. The Principal Investigators request funds to support the participation of U.S. scientists in the NEEM Project for the International Polar Year (IPY) to drill new deep ice core in northern Greenland to address past and future environments and climates. Specific goals will include obtaining a record of the climate of last interglacial period, the Eemain. This period was warmer than today and is the best analog for potential future climate. This core and the radar mapping will provide constraints on the size of the Greenland ice sheet when sea level was many meters higher than today. This core should reveal if abrupt climate change occurred in the Eemian period. Such information should offer better future predictive power for abrupt climate shifts and add to the growing knowledge about how alterations of climate and the environment by humans fit within the context of natural climate change. NEEM is an international effort, led by the glaciology group at the University of Copenhagen. Fifteen countries have expressed a desire to participate.The original proposal was reduced to funding the lead Principal Investigator, Dr. James White for travel and planning meetings as a placeholder" until the NEEM core is drilled. Dr. Claude Laird's radar project will be mainly supported by the NSF's CReSIS (STC) Program. The proposal, as submitted, is premature and will not be funded until the core is retrieved and it is certain that high quality Eemian ice has been drilled, otherwise this will be just another deep Greenland core with nothing new or different from the GISP2 or GRIP cores. The Danes have just received funding for the core, so the earliest the drilling could be staged is in 2007/2008 and the earliest the core could be retrieved through the Eemian is 2009. Dr. Laird will be funded because it is critical that the surface radar be done so that the best site can be chosen for the drilling.
