An Asian Paleoclimate Workshop; Nepal; April 1995

题目：亚洲古气候研讨会，尼泊尔，1995年4月气候变化是科学面临的重大智力挑战之一，也是文明的最大未知数之一。由于气候变化所产生的环境变化的极端社会经济后果，国际科学界目前正试图了解这一现象。该奖项为“喜马拉雅/青藏高原古气候研讨会”国际研讨会提供部分支持。讲习班定于1995年4月初在尼泊尔举行。这次会议也将在IGBP/PAGES的主持下举行，并以PAGES会议关于“亚洲季风过去气候的高分辨率记录”（台湾，1993）的建议为基础。尼泊尔研讨会将集中讨论中亚的古气候记录的解释和发展，中亚是完成了解全球气候和环境变化所需的全球古数据集空间框架的关键地区。来自亚洲、美国、欧洲和加拿大的研究人员将为亚洲综合、组织和推动一个严格的古气候项目。研讨会参与者将对现有的古气候记录进行实质性的总结和解释，然后制定科学和实施计划，为该地区未来的古气候研究进程提出建议。

Abstract ATM-9401953 Mayewski, Paul A. University of New Hampshire Title: An Asian Paleoclimate Workshop, Nepal, April 1995 Climate Change is one of the great intellectual challenges faced by science and one of the great unknowns for civilization. Due to the extreme socio-economic ramifications of the environmental changes produced as a consequence of climate change, the international scientific community is currently attempting to understand this phenomena. This award provides for the partial support for an international workshop entitled: "Himlayan/Tibetan Plateau Paleoclimate Workshop." The workshop is scheduled to be held in Nepal during early April 1995. This meeting will be held also under the auspices of IGBP/PAGES and builds on the recommendations of the PAGES meeting on "High Resolution Record of Past Climate from Monsoon Asia," (Taiwan, 1993). The Nepal workshop will focus on interpreting and developing paleoclimate records from central Asia, a key region for completing the spatial framework of the global paleo-dataset required for understanding global climate and environmental change. Researchers from Asia, the United States, Europe, and Canada will synthesize, organize, and stimulate a rigorous paleoclimate program for Asia. Workshop participants will produce a substantive summary and interpretation of existing paleoclimate records, followed by a Science and Implementation Plan with recommendations for the future course of paleoclimate research in this region.
