This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This award funds a workshop focused on developing a research plan for work in the Soledad Basin, a high sedimentation rate anoxic basin with laminated sediments off Baja California. Topics covered will include 1) the 20th century warming of the California Current System and its effects on ecosystems, 2) teleconnections between North American drought conditions and ENSO, and 3) the intensification of oxygen minimum zones along the western margin of North America. The workshop will bring together an international (mainly US and Mexican) group of scientists who are studying modern and past climate processes and oceanographic/ecological changes in the Soledad Basin, and examine the potential for a long-term monitoring program that would allow better interpretation of the sedimentary record.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该奖项资助了一个研讨会，重点是为索莱达盆地的工作制定研究计划，索莱达盆地是一个高沉积率缺氧盆地，下加利福尼亚附近有分层沉积物。涵盖的主题将包括1）世纪加州洋流系统的变暖及其对生态系统的影响，2）北美干旱状况和ENSO之间的遥相关，以及3）北美西部边缘沿着氧气最低区的强化。该研讨会将汇集一个国际（主要是美国和墨西哥）科学家小组，他们正在研究索莱达盆地的现代和过去气候过程以及海洋学/生态变化，并研究长期监测计划的潜力，以便更好地解释沉积记录。
