Most of the mass loss from the ice sheets occurs from the floating ice shelves, and thus ice-ocean interaction is a key research topic. This award will support participation by early career scientists at a meeting called "Interaction of Glaciers and Ice Sheets with the Ocean." The symposium is organized under the auspices of the International Glaciological Society and the Forum for Research into Ice Shelf Processes and will be held at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in July 2016. The mass balance of the Earth's land ice (ice sheets, ice caps, and glaciers) and the circulation of the adjacent oceans are strongly coupled through physical processes occurring at the interfaces between ice and ocean. Improved understanding of these processes on the fronts and bases of ice shelves, glacier tongues, and tidewater glaciers is essential to realistically represent the evolution of ice sheets and glaciers in a changing climate and to improve predictions of global ocean circulation and sea level change. The goals of this symposium are to: (i) assess the state of knowledge of ice-ocean interactions; and (ii) discuss what is needed for development of reliable, quantitative models of ice-sheet evolution. This award will support 20 young investigators (students, postdoctoral scholars, and early career scientists) to participate in this Symposium by giving plenary presentations or shorter talks.

冰盖的大部分质量损失发生在浮冰架上，因此冰-海相互作用是一个重要的研究课题。该奖项将支持早期职业科学家参加一个名为“冰川和冰盖与海洋的相互作用”的会议。“研讨会由国际冰川学会和冰架过程研究论坛主办，将于2016年7月在斯克里普斯海洋学研究所举行。地球陆地冰（冰盖、冰帽和冰川）的质量平衡和邻近海洋的环流通过冰和海洋之间界面处发生的物理过程强烈耦合。提高对冰架、冰舌和冰川前沿和底部这些过程的认识，对于真实地反映气候变化中冰盖和冰川的演变以及改善全球海洋环流和海平面变化的预测至关重要。这次研讨会的目标是：（一）评估冰-海洋相互作用的知识状态;和（二）讨论需要什么发展可靠的，冰盖演变的定量模型。该奖项将支持20名年轻的研究人员（学生，博士后学者和早期职业科学家）参加本次研讨会，并在全体会议上发表演讲或简短的演讲。
