Towards Integration and Synthesis of MARGINS S2S Research in PNG and NZ Focus Areas

为将于2009年3月在新西兰吉斯伯恩举行的利润率综合研讨会提供资金。巴布亚新几内亚和怀保亚重点站点的利润率源到汇(S2S)倡议研究已经达到了将这两个S2S站点的结果整合在一起的阶段。在新西兰举办研讨会将允许国际合作伙伴的充分参与，这对该计划的成功至关重要。会议将整合成果，找出仍然存在的差距和今后工作的想法，与国际伙伴协调今后的任何工作，并编写一份摘要文件。预计将有59名科学家(约一半来自美国，其余来自国际)参与。广泛的影响包括与国际合作伙伴(新西兰、澳大利亚和巴布亚新几内亚)的密切合作。在怀保阿河河口(S2S重点地点)举行的会议将允许包括当地科学家和当地毛利人在内的更多外展努力。研究生和研究人员的参与也是计划中的，这些人以前没有得到利润率的资助。综合论文/卷的出版将促进这一领域的未来研究。

Funds are provided for a MARGINS synthesis workshop to be held Pril 2009 in Gisborne, New Zealand. MARGINS Source-to-Sink (S2S) initiative research at Papua New Guinea and Waipaoa focus sites has reached a stage where integration of results from the two S2S sites is now possible. Holding the workshop in NZ will allow full participations of the international partners that has been and is crucial for the success of the program. The meeting will allow integration of the results, identification of remaining gaps and ideas for future work, coordination with international partners for any future work and preparation of a summary paper. Participation of 59 scientists (about half from US and the rest international) is expected.Broader impacts include close collaboration with international partners (New Zealand, Australia and PNG). Meeting at the mouth of Waipaoa River (S2S focus site) will allow greater outreach efforts including local scientist and native Maori populace. Involvement of graduate students and researchers not previously funded by MARGINS is also planned. Publication of a synthesis paper/volume would spur future research in this area.
