Conference: 52nd Arctic Workshop at the University of Massachusetts

这项提案寻求资金，以支持学生和职业早期人员参加定于2024年3月13日至16日在马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特大学举行的第52届北极研讨会(AW)。在过去的半个世纪里，AW已经成为一个著名的科学论坛，吸引了来自不同学科和职业阶段的北极研究人员分享和讨论他们的发现。通过演示、海报和讨论，研讨会为学生提供了相互学习和向世界级北极研究人员学习的机会。此外，对于这些学生中的许多人来说，研讨会将成为一个平台，为他们开始自己的北极研究事业发展必要的必要关系。由于温室气体的增加，地球和海洋正在经历变暖，但极地地区的变暖速度是全球平均水平的四倍。这项提案寻求资金，以支持定于2024年3月13日至16日在马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特大学举行的第52届北极研讨会(AW)的学生和早期职业参与者。半个多世纪前成立的AW已经发展成为一个著名的科学论坛，吸引了来自不同学科和职业阶段的研究人员分享和讨论他们的发现。该研讨会最初侧重于第四纪历史和古环境研究，现在涵盖了广泛的主题，包括当代气候建模、北极水文学和湖泊学、大气过程、生态学、海洋学和冰川学。通过这项提议提供的财政援助将使研究生、博士后研究人员和早期职业科学家能够参加AW，支付住宿费、注册费，并为每日费用提供适度的贡献。这种支持将促进他们积极参与研讨会，促进下一代极地研究人员之间的跨学科合作和知识交流。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This proposal seeks funding to support student and early-career participation in the 52nd Arctic Workshop (AW) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, scheduled for March 13-16, 2024. Over the last half-century, the AW has established itself as a prominent scientific forum, attracting arctic researchers from diverse disciplines and career stages to share and discuss their findings. Through presentations, posters, and discussions, the workshop offers an opportunity for students to learn from one another and from world-class arctic researchers. Additionally, for many of these students, the workshop will serve as a platform for developing the essential relationships necessary for launching arctic research careers of their own.The Earth and its oceans are experiencing warming due to the rise in greenhouse gases, but polar regions have undergone warming at rates four times faster than the global average. This proposal seeks funding to support student and early career participants in the 52nd Arctic Workshop (AW) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, scheduled for March 13-16, 2024. Established over half a century ago, the AW has evolved into a prominent scientific forum, attracting researchers from diverse disciplines and career stages to share and discuss their findings. Originally focused on Quaternary history and paleoenvironmental research, the workshop now encompasses a broad range of topics, including contemporary climate modeling, arctic hydrology and limnology, atmospheric processes, ecology, oceanography, and glaciology. Financial assistance provided through this proposal will enable graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and early career scientists to attend the AW by covering accommodation, registration fees, and offering a modest contribution to per diem expenses. This support will facilitate their active participation in the workshop, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange among the next generation of polar researchers.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.
