This action funds Thomas S. Cox of South Dakota State University to conduct a research project in Geoscience during the summer of 2013 at Polar Research Institute of China in Shanghai, China. The project title is "Development of a Melter-based Analytical Technique for an East Antarctic Ice Core." The host scientist is Dr. Su Jiang.China is currently gearing up for a deep ice core project in East Antarctica (Dome A), as well as in the process of setting up an ice core analytical laboratory. The Polar Research Institute of China (PRIC) is the leading group involved in this deep ice core project, as well as charged with the construction of the ice core research laboratory. The Fellow's project builds on a 10-year collaborative relationship between the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at South Dakota State University (SDSU) and PRIC to utilize an analytical technique developed at SDSU that will likely contribute to the Dome A project. The Fellow is assisting in the installation and testing of the instrumentation required for the technique. The Fellow and researchers at PRIC are also analyzing a shallow core (less than 20 meters) drilled in the vicinity of the Dome A site to provide preliminary accumulation and chemical data for the deep ice core project. The primary data being generated by this project will be those of the detailed chemical analysis of a shallow ice core and the determination of average annual accumulation in the region (Dome A, East Antarctica). The results of this analysis will provide preliminary data for China's deep ice core project at Dome A. Broader impacts of an EAPSI fellowship include providing the Fellow a first-hand research experience outside the U.S.; an introduction to the science, science policy, and scientific infrastructure of the respective location; and an orientation to the society, culture and language. These activities meet the NSF goal to educate for international collaborations early in the career of its scientists, engineers, and educators, thus ensuring a globally aware U.S. scientific workforce. Furthermore, the data will be disseminated in scientific journal publications and meeting presentations. The chemical and accumulation data, along with metadata (e.g., instrumental technique used in measurement, average annual accumulation determination procedures, guidance for usage) will be submitted to and archived at national or international data centers such as the National Snow and Ice Data Center.

本行动资助南达科他州立大学的Thomas S. Cox于2013年夏季在中国上海极地研究所开展一项地球科学研究项目。该项目的标题是“为南极东部冰芯开发一种基于熔体的分析技术”。主持会议的科学家是苏江博士。目前，中国正在为南极东部的一个深层冰芯项目（Dome a）做准备，并正在建立一个冰芯分析实验室。中国极地研究所是该项目的牵头单位，并负责冰芯研究实验室的建设。该研究员的项目建立在南达科他州立大学（SDSU）化学和生物化学系与pricc之间长达10年的合作关系之上，利用SDSU开发的分析技术，这可能有助于Dome a项目。研究员正在协助安装和测试该技术所需的仪器。该研究员和pricc的研究人员还分析了在Dome a地点附近钻探的浅岩心（不到20米），为深冰芯项目提供初步的积累和化学数据。这个项目产生的主要数据将是对一个浅层冰芯进行详细化学分析和确定该区域（南极东部穹窿a）的平均年累积量。该分析的结果将为中国在Dome a的深冰芯项目提供初步数据。EAPSI奖学金的更广泛影响包括为研究员提供美国以外的第一手研究经验；介绍该地区的科学、科学政策和科学基础设施；以及对社会、文化和语言的了解。这些活动符合美国国家科学基金会的目标，即在其科学家、工程师和教育工作者的职业生涯早期培养国际合作，从而确保美国科学劳动力具有全球意识。此外，这些数据将在科学期刊出版物和会议发言中传播。化学和累积数据以及元数据（例如，用于测量的仪器技术、平均年累积确定程序、使用指南）将提交给国家或国际数据中心，如国家冰雪数据中心，并将其存档。
