Collaborative Research: RAPID/Workshop- Antarctic Ecosystem Research following Ice Shelf Collapse and Iceberg Calving Events

围绕2017年7月从南极半岛东侧的拉森C冰架崩解一座特拉华州大小的冰山的全球宣传，为在不断变化的气候中研究和教育极地生态系统提供了一个独特且具有时效性的机会。该项目的目标是召开一次研讨会，利用美国和国际南极研究界的大量智力资本。为期两天的研讨会将在佛罗里达州立大学举行，在那里，拥有南极生物、生态和生态系统科学专业知识的研究人员联盟将聚集在一起，分享知识，确定重要的研究知识差距，并概述研究的战略计划。讲习班将有助于增进科学和公众对南极冰架和周围生态系统在冰架变化时所经历的全大陆变化的了解。主要产品将是侧重于综合、协调和整合研究工作的报告，以了解南极半岛冰架坍塌和大型冰山崩解的生态影响。研讨会还将为K-12学校的孩子们提供即时的互动体验，包括亲身实践？周六极地学院？，儿童？S海报环节，以及研讨会期间的问答环节。孩子们将有机会与南极研究人员互动，熟悉南极科学、生物、生态系统和当前问题，满足他们的科学好奇心。2017年7月从拉森C冰架剥落的5800平方公里冰山A-68的崩解提供了一个独特的、时间敏感的研究机会。这一最新活动创造的科学势头和公众兴趣将被用来尽早召开一次研讨会，利用美国和国际南极研究界的大型智力资本。为期两天的研讨会将在佛罗里达州立大学墨西哥湾沿岸海岸和海洋实验室举行，组织者包括Jeroen Ingels(佛罗里达州立大学；FSU)、Richard Aronson(佛罗里达理工学院；FIT)和Craig Smith(夏威夷大学马诺阿分校；UHM)。一个在南极生物、生态和生态系统科学方面具有多种专业知识的研究人员联盟将聚集在一起，分享知识，确定重要的研究优先事项和知识差距，并概述研究的战略计划，以促进对南极冰架和周围生态系统在冰架变化时所经历的大陆范围变化的了解。

Worldwide publicity surrounding the calving of an iceberg the size of Delaware in July 2017 from the Larsen C Ice Shelf on the eastern side of the Antarctic Peninsula presents a unique and time-sensitive opportunity for research and education on polar ecosystems in a changing climate. The goal of this project is to convene a workshop, drawing from the large fund of intellectual capital in the US and international Antarctic research communities. The two-day workshop will be held at Florida State University where a consortium of researchers with expertise in Antarctic biological, ecological, and ecosystem sciences will be gathered to share knowledge, identify important research knowledge gaps, and outline strategic plans for research. The workshop will help advance scientific and public understanding of the continent-wide changes that Antarctic ice shelves and surrounding ecosystems experience as ice shelves change. The primary products will be reports focusing on synthesizing, coordinating and integrating research efforts to understand the ecological impacts of ice-shelf collapses and large iceberg calving along the Antarctic Peninsula. The workshop will also provide an immediate, interactive experience for K-12 school children with a hands-on ?Saturday Polar Academy?, a children?s poster session, and question-answer session during the workshop. Children will have the opportunity to interact with Antarctic researchers and become familiar with Antarctic science, organisms, ecosystems and current issues, feeding their scientific curiosity.The calving of A-68, the 5,800-km2 iceberg shed in July 2017 from the Larsen C Ice Shelf presents a unique and time-sensitive research opportunity. The scientific momentum and public interest created by this most recent event will be leveraged to convene a workshop at the earliest opportunity, drawing from the large intellectual capital in the US and international Antarctic research communities. The two-day workshop will be held at Florida State University, Coastal and Marine Laboratory on the Gulf Coast organized by Jeroen Ingels (Florida State University; FSU), Richard Aronson (Florida Institute of Technology; FIT), and Craig Smith (University of Hawaii at Manoa; UHM). A consortium of researchers with a diversity of expertise in Antarctic biological, ecological, and ecosystem sciences will be gathered to share knowledge, identify important research priorities and knowledge gaps, and outline strategic plans for research to advance understanding of the continent-wide changes that Antarctic ice shelves and surrounding ecosystems experience as ice shelves change.
