This award supports a workshop to foster discussion of multi-disciplinary fieldwork in remote sections of the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) of Antarctica. The TAM contain numerous regions of great scientific importance, such as the dinosaur fossil site near Beardmore glacier. While most previous work has been in geology, there are significant opportunities for glaciology, biology, and meteorology. With the International Polar Year occurring from March 2007 to March 2009, this workshop comes at the ideal time to promote synergies among these disciplines. Another key broader impact of this workshop is fostering collaboration between experienced Antarctic researchers and scientists new to Antarctic research. In addition, it is both expensive and resource intensive to perform fieldwork in areas of the TAM south of McMurdo Station, and advance planning like this will help both the community and the USAP make the most cost-effective use of resources.The workshop will be held at the Byrd Polar Research Center at Ohio State University in September 2006.

该奖项支持一个研讨会，以促进对南极洲跨南极山脉（TAM）偏远地区多学科实地考察的讨论。TAM包含许多具有重要科学意义的区域，例如Beardmore冰川附近的恐龙化石遗址。虽然大多数以前的工作一直在地质学，有冰川学，生物学和气象学的重大机会。2007年3月至2009年3月是国际极地年，这次研讨会是促进这些学科之间协同作用的理想时机。这次研讨会的另一个重要的更广泛的影响是促进有经验的南极研究人员和南极研究新科学家之间的合作。此外，在麦默多站以南的TAM地区进行实地考察既昂贵又耗费资源，像这样的提前规划将有助于社区和USAP最有效地利用资源。研讨会将于2006年9月在俄亥俄州州立大学的伯德极地研究中心举行。
