Antarctic Geologic Drilling Workshop

智力优势：拟议的讲习班将为南极地球科学研究界提供一个辩论科学目标和确定其优先次序的机会。PI提议召开一个研讨会，南极地质钻探研讨会，大约有42名美国参与者在他们的职业生涯的不同阶段，所有这些人都带来了可以通过南极地质钻探解决的科学问题。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。更广泛的影响：这次研讨会将促进各种跨学科的钻探研究，以古气候研究和冰川建模为目标。该讲习班将强调早期职业科学家的参与，PI将利用休斯顿大学的外联办公室宣传讲习班及其成果。该研讨会将在休斯顿大学举行，该大学被称为美国第二大种族多元化校园，所有感兴趣的学生将被邀请参加海报会议，以了解南极正在进行的科学研究的范围，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.
