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

该奖项将支持一个国际研讨会，在实地科学家和基于模型的科学家之间建立对话，有效地促进对海平面变化的理解。全球海平面和地球？整个第四纪的海平面历史显示出复杂的时空格局，提供了大陆冰量变化的全球平均记录。对这种变率的观测提供了对触发冰团生长和衰变的强迫机制的时间和幅度的关键限制。本次研讨会的目标是制定一个综合研究议程，旨在更好地约束太阳日照、温室气体、冰盖响应和海平面变化之间的关系，以估计未来的海平面上升。研讨会将促进古海洋学、第四纪地质学、冰川学、地球物理学、古气候学和喀斯特地质学等跨学科专家之间的交流。已确定的参与者处于其职业生涯的不同阶段，来自不同的国际培训观点。来自美国的初级研究人员和学生将有一个独特的机会与国际领先的专家就海平面变化的主题进行互动，并发展对他们的职业发展至关重要的工作关系。讲习班活动将通过适合研究人员和教师的期刊特别版和讲习班会议录象档案来传播。

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.
