This award will support a Synthesis Workshop to identify community-based perspectives, research imperatives, and policy needs linked to the interactions of ice, water and global climate. This workshop will precede and assist in the science community in preparation for the emerging U.N. International Year for Snow and Ice and the Celebrating Glaciers campaigns. It is the intention of the organizer to bring together key representatives of the cryospheric-hydrologic-social science research, policy, education, and outreach communities to elaborate plans for creating a transdisciplinary ice-snow-water nexus communication community, as well as set the groundwork for creating strategies and toolkits for effectively communicating science to the public and to policy makers. The workshop has as its themes, interdisciplinarity, innovation, integration and engagement. In order to have the full engagement in the workshop sessions, the PI suggests limiting it to 10-15 people with expertise in producing, using, and communicating science. The goal of the workshop being to bring together a key group of earth system and interdisciplinary social scientists, users of natural and social science knowledge - people who can articulate their needs and interests in science products e.g., policy makers, environmental managers, and public stakeholders, and education and outreach experts, including public relations practitioners. The proposed workshop is structured as a three day meeting: the first two days will be conference-style, consisting of plenary talks, discussion, and breakout sessions focused; the final day will be an intensive writing workshop to synthesize key knowledge production from the prior two days. The final results of the meeting will be a short community-reviewed report summarizing key issues, common challenges, general lessons and ideas for steps forward that emerged during the workshop.

该奖项将支持一个综合研讨会，以确定以社区为基础的观点，研究的必要性，以及与冰，水和全球气候的相互作用相关的政策需求。该研讨会将先于并协助科学界为即将到来的联合国国际冰雪年和庆祝冰川运动做准备。 组织者打算将冰冻圈-水文学-社会科学研究、政策、教育和外联界的主要代表聚集在一起，制定计划，创建一个跨学科的冰雪水关系传播界，并为制定战略和工具包奠定基础，以便向公众和决策者有效地传播科学。研讨会的主题是跨学科、创新、融合和参与。为了充分参与研讨会，PI建议将其限制在10-15名具有制作，使用和传播科学专业知识的人。 讲习班的目标是汇集一批关键的地球系统和跨学科社会科学家，自然和社会科学知识的用户-能够表达他们对科学产品的需求和兴趣的人，政策制定者、环境管理者和公共利益攸关方以及教育和外联专家，包括公共关系从业人员。拟议的研讨会是一个为期三天的会议：前两天将是会议式的，包括全体会议，讨论和分组会议;最后一天将是一个密集的写作研讨会，以综合前两天的关键知识生产。会议的最后成果将是一份经过社区审查的简短报告，其中概述了讲习班期间出现的关键问题、共同挑战、一般性经验教训和关于今后步骤的想法。
