Intellectual Merit: The Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) encompasses exposures of Antarctic bedrock that provide a history of Antarctic continental evolution. The TAM also creates microhabitats for extremophiles and hosts unconsolidated sedimentary deposits that record the history of the ice sheet and Antarctica?s changing climate. Much less is known of the extant faunal and floral assemblages, climate, or geophysics of this region. The PI proposes a workshop to facilitate the gathering of multi disciplinary researchers to exchange ideas for investigating processes that are occurring or that have occurred in the TAM. This workshop will take place in September 2013 in Minneapolis and will be locally organized by Polar Geospatial Center.Broader impacts: TAM researchers come from diverse fields in geoscience, atmospheric and climate science, glaciology, and ecology and evolutionary science. This workshop will encourage the participation of graduate students, post-docs, and early career researchers and the organizing committee will strive to include a diverse group of participants.

智力优势：横贯南极山脉（TAM）包含南极基岩的暴露，提供了南极大陆演化的历史。 TAM还为极端微生物创造了微栖息地，并拥有记录冰盖历史和南极洲气候变化的松散沉积物。对于该地区现存的动物和花卉组合、气候或地球物理学知之甚少。 PI 提议举办一次研讨会，以促进多学科研究人员聚集在一起，就 TAM 中正在发生或已经发生的调查过程交换想法。该研讨会将于 2013 年 9 月在明尼阿波利斯举行，由极地地理空间中心在当地组织。更广泛的影响：TAM 研究人员来自地球科学、大气和气候科学、冰川学、生态学和进化科学等不同领域。该研讨会将鼓励研究生、博士后和早期职业研究人员的参与，组委会将努力吸纳多元化的参与者。
