项目摘要

This international planning grant will enable researchers from the USA to collaborate with Italian oceanographers in planning and developing a long term time series program at the Italian Base in Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica. The long term goal involves observing the effects of climate change on the biogeochemical cycling of carbon and nutrients in the western Ross Sea, an important region of Antarctic Bottom Water formation. The goals of the planning grant include: (1) determining the current state of US-Italian knowledge in the Ross Sea; (2) prioritizing the most important scientific issues to be addressed in future collaborations; (3) developing a plan for both short term and long term funding of collaborative activities; and (4) planning logistical operations by both nations. The proposed western Ross Sea time series program will serve as both an environmental sentinel and a natural laboratory to understand the impacts of climate change.The planning visit, and future international collaborations, will facilitate the development of the next generation of scientists in Antarctica. Italian post-doctoral and graduate students, as well as junior US researchers, will participate in the planning meeting. A long term study of the western Ross Sea will enable new investigators to be involved in all aspects of planning and testing hypotheses regarding the impacts of climate change on a coastal Antarctic ecosystem.

这项国际规划资助将使美国的研究人员能够与意大利海洋学家合作，在南极洲特拉诺瓦湾的意大利基地规划和发展一个长期的时间序列项目。长期目标包括观察气候变化对罗斯海西部碳和营养物质生物地球化学循环的影响，罗斯海西部是南极底水形成的重要区域。计划拨款的目标包括：(1)确定美国和意大利在罗斯海的知识现状；(2)优先考虑在未来合作中要解决的最重要的科学问题；(3)为合作活动制定短期和长期资助计划；(4)规划两国的后勤行动。拟议中的西罗斯海时间序列项目将作为环境哨兵和自然实验室，以了解气候变化的影响。这次计划中的访问以及未来的国际合作将促进下一代科学家在南极洲的发展。意大利博士后和研究生以及美国初级研究人员将参加规划会议。对西罗斯海的长期研究将使新的研究人员能够参与规划和测试有关气候变化对南极沿海生态系统影响的假设的各个方面。
