Western Boundary Currents are among the most familiar features of the oceans, the most prominent example being the Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic. This award would provide support for a three-day scientific workshop on the interactions between western boundary currents, the continental shelves they traverse, and the associated ecosystems. The workshop will gather researchers from Western Boundary Current-dominated shelf ecosystems around the world to discuss the state of knowledge of subtropical continental shelf ecosystems and to identify opportunities for initiating complementary research and modeling programs to advance understanding of the role of these environments in the global carbon cycle. Funding will support participation in the workshop of students and international researchers. The primary product of the workshop will be a paper synthesizing the results. The workshop is expected to stimulate future research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

西边界流是人们最熟悉的海洋特征之一，最突出的例子是北大西洋的墨西哥湾流。该奖项将为为期三天的科学研讨会提供支持，该研讨会的主题是西部边界流、其穿越的大陆架以及相关生态系统之间的相互作用。该研讨会将聚集来自世界各地以西边界洋流为主的陆架生态系统的研究人员，讨论亚热带大陆架生态系统的知识状况，并确定启动补充研究和建模项目的机会，以增进对这些环境在全球碳循环中的作用的了解。资金将支持学生和国际研究人员参加研讨会。研讨会的主要产品将是一篇综合结果的论文。该研讨会预计将刺激未来的研究。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
