The Past Global Changes (PAGES) Project

该奖项支持美国对瑞士伯尔尼的过去全球变化(PAGE)国际项目办公室(IPO)的贡献。PAGE是在国际地圈-生物圈计划(IGBP)的广泛框架下运作的几个科学计划之一。Pages计划作为美国国家科学基金会和瑞士国家科学基金会之间的合作伙伴关系，使来自发达国家和发展中国家的国际科学家团队和学生能够在寻找古气候科学关键问题的答案的项目上进行合作。页面协调研究项目产生的科学数据很容易通过各种公开数据库获得，包括科罗拉多州博尔德市的国家地球物理数据中心(NGDC)的数据库，该中心由国家海洋和大气管理局运营。此外，PAGE积极寻求发展中国家科学家参与研究项目，从而促进科学界的技术转让和能力建设。

This award supports the United States' contribution to the Past Global Changes (PAGES) International Project Office (IPO) in Bern, Switzerland. PAGES is one of several scientific programs that operates under the broad umbrella of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP). Operated as a partnership between the US National Science Foundation and the Swiss National Science Foundation, the PAGES program has enabled the collaboration of international teams of scientists and students from developed and developing nations on projects searching for answers to critical questions in paleoclimate science. The specific responsibilities of the IPO include organizing meetings and workshops, publishing peer-reviewed manuscripts and books, producing newsletters, and maintaining and facilitating contacts among international scientists. The scientific data generated by PAGES-coordinated research projects are readily available through various publicly accessible databases including those of the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) in Boulder, Colorado operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. In addition, PAGES actively seeks participation in research projects by scientists in developing countries thereby enabling technological transfer and capacity building within the scientific community.
