Changes of the Greenland Cryosphere (CGC) Workshop

国际研讨会在？格陵兰冰冻圈的变化？定于2009年8月25日至27日在格陵兰岛努克举行。讲习班将涉及格陵兰冰盖、海冰和永久冻土的实验和理论研究等广泛议题。该讲习班将有助于交流关于格陵兰岛和周围被冰雪覆盖的海洋和冻土发生的变化的信息。它将包括参与监测和模拟格陵兰冰盖、海冰和永久冻土快速变化的主要科学家和工程师的特邀演讲。该提案要求提供资金，以部分支持美国研究生、博士后研究人员和早期职业科学家参加研讨会的旅费和其他相关费用。PI要求资金部分支持约15名参与者。他还提议举行一个小型会议，由参与格陵兰冰盖研究的美国研究人员参加，讨论和计划对一两个关键出口冰川的重点观测和建模活动。

An international workshop on ?Changes of the Greenland Cryosphere? is scheduled to take place August 25-27, 2009, in Nuuk, Greenland. The workshop will cover a broad range of topics on the experimental and theoretical investigations of the Greenland ice sheet, sea ice and permafrost. The workshop will contribute to an exchange of information on changes occurring in Greenland and the surrounding ice-covered oceans and frozen ground. It will include invited presentations by leading scientists and engineers involved in monitoring and modeling rapid changes in the Greenland ice sheet, sea ice and permafrost. This proposal requests funds to partially support travel and other related expenses for the participation of US graduate students, post-doctoral researchers and early-career scientists in the workshop. The PI requests funds to partially support about 15 participants. He also proposes to hold a small meeting of US researchers involved in research of the Greenland ice sheet to discuss and plan focused observations and modeling activities on one or two key outlet glaciers.
