IAPSO 2007 Travel Grant

该奖项为16名来自较不发达国家的科学家提供旅费资助，以出席将于2007年7月2日至13日在意大利佩鲁贾与国际地质与地球物理联合会（IUGG）大会同时举行的采购处下一届大会。大会http://www.iugg2007Perugia.it优先考虑青年科学家、发展中国家和前东部地区（USRR-南斯拉夫）的科学家参加。科学计划包括大地测量学、海洋学和海洋生物学方面的最新进展。我们星球的动态性质自然会在海洋、海洋本身和大陆之间产生生命的相互作用，许多专题讨论会会议涵盖跨学科主题。下面列出的只是将于2007年举行的重要专题讨论会的一小部分：我们不断变化的星球全球地球观测系统我们对气候变化的理解地球科学中的高性能计算我们不断变化的气候：一个全球政策问题海洋环流和新卫星任务的贡献全球海平面变化：测高、全球导航卫星系统和验潮仪测量卫星观测：产品和应用资金对于使学生和年轻科学家能够与资深科学家直接交流非常重要，并为受资助的科学家与发达国家的科学家之间的交流提供了一个论坛。此外，正式会议之外的非正式讨论具有重要价值，可以进行一对一的互动和建立科学合作。

This award provides financial support for sixteen travel grants directed at scientists fro lesser developed countries to attend the next IAPSO General Assembly that will be held in conjunction with the General Assembly of IUGG (International Union of Geology and Geophysics) in Perugia, Italy, on July 2-13, 2007. The general scientific program, and the specific IAPSO one, can be found at http://www.iugg2007Perugia.it Priority will given to young scientists, and scientists from developing countries and the former eastern blocks (USRR- Yugoslavia) to attend the Assembly.The scientific program encompasses the most recent advances in geodesy, oceanography and marine biology. The dynamic nature of our planet naturally creates interactions of life within the oceans, the oceans themselves and the continents and many of the symposium sessions cover interdisciplinary themes. Below is listed just a small sample of the significant symposia on the 2007 assembly to be held:Our Changing Planet Global Earth Observing SystemsOur Understanding of Climate ChangeHigh-Performance Computations in GeosciencesOur Changing Climate: A Global Policy IssueOcean Circulation and contributions from new satellite missionsGlobal sea-level change: Altimetry, GNSS and tide gauge measurementsSatellite Observations: Products and ApplicationsThe funding is important to allow students and young scientists to have direct interchanges with senior scientists and provides a forum for interchanges between the supported scientists with those from developed countries. Furthermore, the informal discussions outside the formal sessions have significant values, allowing for interactions one-to-one and for the establishment of scientific collaborations.
