Antarctic Working Group for Geology and Geophysics 2000 - 2001

0090294威尔逊该奖项由极地计划办公室南极地质和地球物理计划提供，支持南极地质和地球物理工作组在2000-2001年期间的活动。该小组为美国南极计划（USAP）内的南极地质学和地球物理学计划与广泛定义的南极地球科学界的各个部分之间的信息交流提供了广泛的渠道。因此，它是一个讨论南极地质学和地球物理学研究的未来目标以及研究人员通过USAP获得业务支持的未来需求的论坛。更具体地说，工作组带来了新的科学和技术机会，方案的需求，以及更广泛的地球科学界所认为的方案机会的计划的想法。该工作组还提供了一个重要的机制，使信息从方案流向社区。工作组还就与USAP有关的后勤支持问题向该计划提供反馈。在履行这一职能时，工作组是一个有用的管理工具，有助于将科学目标与普遍科学评估计划的业务部分结合起来。本提案的预算主要包括支付工作组成员和应邀专家出席在国家科学基金会总部举行的会议的差旅费。请求提供资金，以支付薪金和工资，用于开发和维持一个经改进的网站，向南极地球科学界提供信息。该奖项的PI将担任工作组主席至2001年8月。

0090294WilsonThis award, provided by the Antarctic Geology and Geophysics Program of the Office of Polar Programs, supports activities of the Antarctic Working Group for Geology and Geophysics during 2000-2001. This group affords a broad conduit for exchange of information between the Antarctic Geology and Geophysics program within the US Antarctic Program (USAP), and the diverse parts of the broadly-defined Antarctic earth science community. As such, it is a forum for discussion of the future goals of Antarctic geology and geophysics research, and the future needs of researchers for operational support through the USAP. More specifically, the Working Group brings to the program ideas about new scientific and technical opportunities, programmatic needs, and programmatic opportunities as perceived by the wider earth science community. The Working Group also provides an important mechanism for the flow of information from the program out to the community. The Working Group further serves to provide feedback to the program on logistical support questions relating to the USAP. In providing this function, the Working Group constitutes a useful management tool to help integrate science goals with operational portions of the USAP. The budget of this proposal primarily includes funds to cover travel costs for members of the Working Group and invited experts to attend a meeting at NSF headquarters. Funds are requested to cover salary and wages for development and maintenance of an improved web site to provide information to the Antarctic earth science community. The PI of this award will serve as Chair of the Working Group through August, 2001.
