Developmental Visit of Soviet Scientist to Develop Proposal for Long-Term Joint Research on Permafrost Related Climatic Change

这个旅行奖的目的是支持莫斯科国立大学地质学系主任爱德华·耶尔绍夫博士访问阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯分校。与阿拉斯加大学地球物理研究所的托马斯·e·奥斯特坎普博士探讨就与世界气候变化有关的永久冻土开展长期合作的可能性。这是美国国家科学基金会与苏联科学院基础研究合作谅解备忘录下的北极研究总范畴下的一个目标课题。该项目实现了推进科学知识的计划目标，使美国和苏联的主要研究人员能够在平等、互惠的基础上，在共同感兴趣和有能力的基础科学研究领域结合互补的努力和能力。互惠互利。

The purpose of this travel award is to support a visit at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks by Dr. Eduard Yershov, Chairman of the Department of Geocryology at Moscow State University, to explore the possibility of developing a proposal for long-term cooperation on permafrost as related to world climate change with Dr. Thomas E. Osterkamp of the University of Alaska's Geophysics Institute. This is a targeted topic under the general category of Arctic Research under the Memorandum of Understanding between NSF and the Soviet Academy of Sciences for basic research cooperation. This project fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading researchers in the United States and the U.S.S.R. to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence in the field of basic scientific research on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.
