Workshop: Sea Level Changes into MIS 5: from observations to predictions

该奖项将支持一个国际研讨会，以建立实地和建模科学家之间的对话，这将有效地促进对海平面变化的理解。全球海平面与地球？的气候是密切相关的，整个第四纪的海平面历史显示了一个复杂的空间和时间模式，提供了一个全球平均记录大陆冰量的变化。这种变化的观测提供了关键的约束的时间和幅度的强迫机制，触发冰的增长和衰减。 本次研讨会的目标是制定一个综合研究议程，旨在更好地限制太阳辐射，温室气体，冰盖反应和海平面变化之间的关系，以估计未来的海平面上升。该讲习班将促进古海洋学、第四纪地质学、冰川学、地球物理学、古气候学和岩溶地质学领域的跨学科专家组之间的交流。确定的参与者处于职业生涯的不同阶段，来自不同的国际培训视角。 来自美国的初级研究人员和学生将有一个独特的机会与海平面变化主题的国际领先专家进行互动，并发展对其职业发展至关重要的工作关系。 讲习班活动的传播将通过适合研究人员和教师的一份期刊特刊和讲习班会议录像档案来进行。

This award will support an international workshop to establish a dialog between field- and modeling-based scientists that will efficiently advance the understanding of sea level changes. Global sea level and the Earth?s climate are closely linked, and sea-level history throughout Quaternary time shows a complex spatial and temporal pattern that provides a globally averaged record of continental ice volume variations. Observations of this variability provide key constraints on the timing and amplitudes of the forcing mechanisms that trigger the growth and decay of ice masses. The goal of this workshop is to produce an integrated research agenda aimed at better constraining the relationships among solar insolation, greenhouse gases, ice sheet response, and sea-level change, with the aim of estimating future sea level rise. The workshop will foster communication between an interdisciplinary group of experts in the fields of paleoceanography, Quaternary geology, glaciology, geophysics,paleoclimatology, and karst geology. The identified participants are at various stages of their careers and come from diverse international training perspectives. Junior researchers and students from the United States will have a unique opportunity to interact with leading international experts on the topic of sea level change and develop the working relationships critical for their career development. Dissemination of the workshop activities will come through a special edition of a journal and a video archive of the workshop sessions suitable for researchers and teachers alike.
