This award provides partial support for "Support for the IGS/FRISP Symposium on Interactions of Ice Sheets and Glaciers with the Ocean" to be held in June 2011. The workshop will bring together U.S. and international researchers to discuss the topic of ice/ocean interactions for a one week period and will take place at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Promoting interdisciplinary research on this topic is important because most of the current mass loss from ice sheets is occurring in areas where the ice sheet interacts with the ocean. The hope is to bring together modelers, glaciologists, oceanographers, geologists, and outreach specialists. The two overarching goals of the workshop are to 1) assess the state of knowledge of ice-ocean interactions; and 2) to discuss what is needed for development of reliable, quantitative models of ice sheet evolution. Intellectual Merit: The ocean has a profound influence on the ice sheets and tidewater glaciers and it is becoming increasingly clear that to understand how the ice sheet system will evolve we need to better understand ice-ocean interaction processes. By hosting the forum at an oceanographic institution the hope is to foster strong links between the oceanographic and glaciological communities of researchers.Broader Impact: The topic has broad societal relevance because of the link between loss of land ice and global sea-level rise. Funds provided by this award will support graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and early career scientists. There will also be outreach activities with local California schools to engage the K-12 population in topical scientific research. Understanding ice-ocean interactions is a key component of being able to predict future climate change scenarios.Funds provided by the NSF will only be used to support US scientists, with the specific focus being to provide partial support for early career scientists and outreach specialists. Inclusion of early career scientists and students in the presentation and discussion of a necessarily interdisciplinary, integrated, and truly cutting edge area of Antarctic science will be extremely valuable in training the next generation of Antarctic researchers. Outcome from the meeting will include a symposium volume that is likely to be a very valuable research compendium for future work.

该奖项为将于2011年6月举行的“IGS/FRISP关于冰盖和冰川与海洋相互作用的研讨会”提供部分支持。 该研讨会将汇集美国和国际研究人员，讨论冰/海洋相互作用的主题，为期一周，并将在斯克里普斯海洋研究所举行。 促进关于这一主题的跨学科研究很重要，因为目前冰盖的大部分质量损失都发生在冰盖与海洋相互作用的地区。希望能将模型专家、冰川学家、海洋学家、地质学家和外展专家聚集在一起。研讨会的两个首要目标是：1）评估冰-海洋相互作用的知识状况; 2）讨论开发冰盖演变的可靠定量模型所需的内容。智力优势：海洋对冰盖和冰川有着深远的影响，为了了解冰盖系统将如何演变，我们需要更好地了解冰-海相互作用过程，这一点越来越清楚。通过在海洋学机构举办论坛，希望能促进海洋学和冰川学研究人员之间的紧密联系。更广泛的影响：由于陆地冰的丧失和全球海平面上升之间的联系，该主题具有广泛的社会意义。该奖项提供的资金将支持研究生，博士后学者和早期职业科学家。还将与当地加州学校开展外联活动，让K-12人口参与专题科学研究。了解冰-海相互作用是能够预测未来气候变化情景的关键组成部分。NSF提供的资金将仅用于支持美国科学家，具体重点是为早期职业科学家和外展专家提供部分支持。让早期的职业科学家和学生参与介绍和讨论南极科学的一个必要的跨学科、综合和真正尖端的领域，对培训下一代南极研究人员将是极其宝贵的。 会议的成果将包括一本专题讨论会文集，它很可能是今后工作的一份非常有价值的研究简编。
