Antarctic Geologic Drilling Workshop

学术价值：拟议的讲习班将为南极地球科学研究界提供辩论和确定科学目标优先次序的机会。国际和平研究所提议召开一个名为南极地质钻探研讨会的研讨会，大约42名处于职业生涯不同阶段的美国人参加，他们都带来了可以通过在南极进行地质钻探来解决的科学问题。研讨会结束后，指导委员会将完成一份报告，总结美国南极社区感兴趣的钻探目标。广泛的影响：此次研讨会将促进针对古气候研究和冰川建模的各种跨学科钻探研究。这次研讨会将强调早期职业科学家的参与，国际和平协会将利用休斯顿大学的外联办公室来宣传研讨会及其成果。研讨会将在休斯顿大学举行，休斯顿大学被描述为美国第二大种族多元化校园。所有感兴趣的学生都将被邀请参加海报环节，了解南极正在进行的一系列科学研究，并与研究人员见面。

Intellectual Merit: The proposed workshop will provide the Antarctic Earth Science research community with the opportunity to debate and prioritize scientific goals. The PI proposes to convene a workshop, the Antarctic Geologic Drilling Workshop, with approximately 42 U.S. participants at various stages of their careers, all of who bring scientific questions that could be addressed by geologic drilling in the Antarctic. After the workshop, the steering committee will complete a report summarizing the drilling targets of interest to the U.S. Antarctic community.Broader impacts: This workshop will foster a variety of interdisciplinary drilling studies targeting paleoclimate research and glacial modeling. This workshop will emphasize participation of early career scientists and the PI will use the outreach office at the University of Houston to promote the workshop and its outcomes. The workshop will be held at the University of Houston, described as the second-most ethnically diverse campus in the U.S. All interested students will be invited to the poster session to learn about the range of scientific research being done in the Antarctic and to meet the researchers.
