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

该奖项将支持一个国际研讨会，以便在实地科学家和模型科学家之间建立对话，从而有效地促进对海平面变化的理解。全球海平面与地球-S气候密切相关，海平面在整个第四纪的历史呈现出复杂的时空格局，提供了大陆冰量变化的全球平均记录。对这种可变性的观测为触发冰团增长和衰退的强迫机制的时间和幅度提供了关键限制。该讲习班的目标是制定一项综合研究议程，旨在更好地约束太阳辐射、温室气体、冰盖反应和海平面变化之间的关系，目的是估计未来海平面上升。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等领域的跨学科专家小组之间的交流。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领先的国际专家就海平面变化主题进行互动，并发展对他们的职业发展至关重要的工作关系。讲习班活动的传播将通过一本特别版的期刊和讲习班会议的录像档案进行，适合研究人员和教师。

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.
