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，以确定与冰、水和全球气候相互作用有关的基于社区的观点、研究需求和政策需求。本次研讨会将帮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。组织者的目的是将冰冻圈-水文-社会科学研究、政策、教育和外展社区的主要代表聚集在一起，为创建一个跨学科的冰雪-水联系交流社区制定详细的计划，并为创建有效地向公众和决策者传播科学的策略和工具包奠定基础。研讨会的主题是：跨学科、创新、整合和参与。为了充分参与研讨会，PI建议将其限制在10-15名具有生产、使用和传播科学专业知识的人员。研讨会的目标是将地球系统和跨学科的社会科学家、自然科学和社会科学知识的使用者——能够明确表达他们对科学产品的需求和兴趣的人，如决策者、环境管理者和公共利益相关者，以及包括公共关系从业人员在内的教育和外联专家聚集在一起。提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工作坊，综合前两天的关键知识成果。会议的最终结果将是一份简短的社区审查报告，总结研讨会期间出现的关键问题、共同挑战、一般教训和前进的想法。
