This award supports the Tenth Annual International Symposium on Antarctic Earth Sciences (ISAES) to be held at the University of California, Santa Barbara, in August 2007. This conference will be an integrated, multidisciplinary meeting that brings scientists from around the globe together to explore links among the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere under the theme Antarctica: A Keystone in a Changing World. Inaugurating the International Polar Year (IPY), that begins in 2007, the meeting will establish new directions for interdisciplinary Antarctic research in the 21st Century. ISAES has a long history and is the foremost international Antarctic geoscience meeting, convened every four years since 1963. Historically the focus has been on the lithosphere, attracting hundreds of scientists from over thirty countries. An innovation in 2007 will be to organize the symposium around cross-disciplinary themes to engage the glaciology, oceanography, and biology communities with solid Earth scientists. The symposium will feature new and emerging technologies that are changing the scope and pace of scientific discovery on the continent, but which rely on ever-closer international cooperation.In terms of broader impacts, ISAES promotes international collaborations, even between nations with overlapping territorial claims in Antarctica, thereby helping to maintain one of the main tenets of the Antarctic Treaty: peaceful co-existence and cooperative research endeavors. As an inaugural event for IPY, the Symposium will also attract media coverage and raise the public profile of polar science. In addition, the symposium will serve as a point of entry for early career scientists just discovering the importance of Antarctic research.

该奖项支持将于2007年8月在加州大学圣巴巴拉分校举行的第十届南极地球科学国际研讨会。这次会议将是一次综合的、多学科的会议，将来自世界各地的科学家聚集在一起，以南极洲：变化世界的基石为主题，探索岩石圈、水圈、大气层和生物圈之间的联系。这次会议将开启2007年开始的国际极地年，为21世纪跨学科的南极研究确立新的方向。国际南极地球科学会议历史悠久，是自1963年以来每四年召开一次的首屈一指的国际南极地球科学会议。从历史上看，重点一直放在岩石圈上，吸引了来自30多个国家的数百名科学家。2007年的一项创新将是围绕跨学科主题组织研讨会，让冰川学、海洋学和生物界与固体地球科学家接触。研讨会将展示新的和新兴的技术，这些技术正在改变非洲大陆的科学发现的范围和速度，但这些技术依赖于越来越密切的国际合作。就更广泛的影响而言，ISAES促进国际合作，甚至是在南极洲拥有重叠领土主张的国家之间的合作，从而有助于维护南极条约的主要原则之一：和平共处和合作研究努力。作为国际极地年的首次活动，研讨会还将吸引媒体的报道，并提高极地科学的公众形象。此外，研讨会将为刚刚发现南极研究重要性的早期职业科学家提供一个切入点。
