该奖项支持人员的科学交流 苏联地理研究所和美国俄亥俄州政府之间的 伯德极地研究中心（OSU-BPRC） 设计一个合作的冰芯古气候学研究 程序. 主要的科学目标是 合作计划是提取高分辨率（年度）冰 从苏联一两个合适的冰帽的核心记录。 大气的化学和物理特性是 保存在这些冰芯中， 否则不可用，关于 青藏高原地区古环境史 合作努力将包括实地工作、实验室 分析、数据整理、综合和出版。 这 研究是支持作为一个“小赠款探索 研究”（SGER）奖。

This award supports the scientific exchange of personnel between the USSR Institute of Geography and the USA Ohio State University, Byrd Polar Research Center, (OSU-BPRC) for the purpose of designing a cooperative ice core paeloclimatology research program. The primary scientific goal for the cooperative program is to extract high-resolution (annual) ice core records from one or two appropriate ice caps in the USSR. The chemical and physical characteristics of the atmosphere are preserved in these ice cores and contribute unique, otherwise unavailable, information about the paleoenvironmental history of the Tibetan Plateau region, The collaborative effort would encompass fieldwork, laboratory analyses, data reduction, synthesis, and publication. This research is supported as a "Small Grant for Exploratory Research" (SGER) award.
