This award is towards support of a two-day symposium to celebrate the contributions of George Philander. The following five key questions will be addressed at the meeting: (i) What is the relative importance of the thermohaline and wind-driven components of the oceanic circulation to the Earth's climate? (ii) Do conditions in polar regions determine conditions in the tropics, or vice versa? (iii) How can records of recurrent Ice Ages be used to develop testable hypotheses for climate models? (iv) What tests can records of recurrent Ice Age provide for climate models? (v) Why is global warming so polarizing? A key goal of the symposium is to engage a younger generation of scientists in scientific discussion that crosses disciplinary boundaries. NSF funding will cover participant travel costs including support for young scientists to attend the symposium.

这个奖项是为了支持一个为期两天的研讨会，以庆祝乔治菲兰德的贡献。 会议将讨论以下五个关键问题：（一）海洋环流的温盐成分和风驱动成分对地球气候的相对重要性是什么？(ii)极地的条件决定热带的条件，还是反之亦然？(iii)如何利用反复出现的冰河期记录来发展气候模型的可检验假设？(iv)重复出现的冰河期记录能为气候模型提供什么样的检验？(v)为什么全球变暖如此两极分化？研讨会的一个关键目标是让年轻一代的科学家参与跨越学科界限的科学讨论。 NSF的资金将用于支付与会者的差旅费，包括支持年轻科学家参加研讨会。
