Nansen Arctic Drilling Program Workshop: Ten-Year Implementation Plan for Scientific Ocean Drilling in the Arctic Seas; St. Petersburg, Russia, October 14-15, 1996

联合海洋机构公司（JOI）提议为美国海洋学界提供参与南森北极钻探计划未来规划的机会。南森北极钻探计划（NAD）是一项潜在的重要国际研究工作，旨在了解北极的地质和海洋学演变，并阐明北极地区对全球变化的贡献及其强迫功能。这些知识将有助于描述北极盆地及其对全球过程的影响。NAD正计划举办一个讲习班，为北极的科学海洋钻探制定一项十年“实施计划”。NAD实施计划将概述实现NAD科学目标所需的战略和步骤。由于在北极进行科学海洋钻探的困难和昂贵的性质，这项努力将需要密切的多国合作和资金。讲习班的规划和组织将由新发展战略秘书处指导，该秘书处由新发展战略的八个成员国提供资金，设在联合研究所。具体而言，该提案寻求对美国科学家和两名JOI工作人员参加研讨会的旅费的全面支持，以及JOI/ NAD秘书处组织研讨会以及制作和打印NAD实施计划的部分资金。参加活动的非美国公民的旅行费用。科学家（约30人）将由NAD各成员国和观察员国负责。讲习班本身的其余费用将从参与国寻求资金，其余部分将由新发展战略秘书处支付。

Joint Oceanographic Institutions Incorporated (JOI) proposes to provide the U.S. oceanographic community the opportunity to participate in the future planning of the Nansen Arctic Drilling Program. The Nansen Arctic Drilling Program (NAD) is a potentially significant international research effort designed to understand the geological and oceanographic evolution of the Arctic, as well as elucidate the contribution of the Arctic region to global change and its forcing functions. This knowledge will help characterize the Arctic basin and its impact on global processes. NAD is planning a workshop to produce a ten-year "Implementation Plan" for scientific ocean drilling in the Arctic. The NAD Implementation Plan will outline the strategy and steps necessary to achieve NAD's scientific goals. Because of the difficult and costly nature of scientific ocean drilling in the Arctic, the endeavor will require close multinational cooperation and funding. The workshop's planning and organization will be guided by the NAD Secretariat, which is funded by the eight NAD member countries and housed at JOI. Specifically, this proposal seeks full support for the travel of U.S. scientists, and two JOI staff to attend the workshop as well as partial funding to cover the cost to JOI/ the NAD Secretariat to organize the workshop, as well as to produce and print the resulting NAD Implementation Plan. The travel expenses of the participating non-U.S. scientists (about 30) will be covered by individual NAD member and observer countries. Funding for the rest of the cost of the workshop itself will be sought from participating countries and the balance will be covered by the NAD Secretariat.
