Support for the U.S. National Office for Earth System History (ESH)

该奖项是对美国地球物理联合会(AGU)的支持，旨在为协调美国与美国全球变化研究计划(USGCRP)的地球系统历史(ESH)项目相关的研究活动提供领导和管理结构。设在AGU的环境卫生部门秘书处将为环境卫生部门指导委员会提供支助服务，并在国际地圈生物圈计划(IGBP)的《过去的全球变化》(PAGE)中提供与国际努力的互动和联络点。这些努力将包括支持环境卫生和环境卫生指导委员会的活动，以及旨在为环境卫生和环境卫生项目优先事项和目标争取古科学界投入的其他活动。讲习班、规划会议和出版物将确保项目目标的实现和项目的有效执行。

This award is for support of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) to provide the leadership and management structure for the coordination of U.S. research activities in connection with the Earth System History (ESH) Project of the United States Global Change Research Program (USGCRP). The ESH Secretariat at AGU will provide support services for the ESH Steering Committee and a point of interaction and contact with the international effort in Past Global Changes (PAGES) of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP). These efforts will include supporting activities of the ESH Steering Committee and other activities designed to generate paleoscience community input to ESH Project priorities and objectives. Workshops, planning meetings and publications will insure that the goals of the project are met and that implementation of the project is carried out in an effective manner.
