Conference on Paleoclimate, Environmental Change and Human Migrations in the North Pacific Basin; Anchorage, Alaska; August 5-7, 2002

该奖项将支持由美国第四纪协会(AMQUA)于2002年8月5日至7日在阿拉斯加安克雷奇举办的题为“北太平洋盆地的古气候、环境变化和人类迁徙”的国际会议。会议的目的是聚集国际专家、实践者和学生分享北太平洋古气候学的最新发展。具体地说，基金将提供一名本科生助理来帮助组织后勤，为15名学生提供旅行支持，他们将就他们的研究项目发布海报，并为7名经验丰富的专业人员提供旅行支持，他们将被邀请介绍他们专业领域的最新研究。各种会议的科学主题与古气候计划支持的研究项目相兼容和相关，包括晚全新世高分辨率气候研究、第四纪古生态和高、低纬度之间的古气候遥测。一份综合和总结会议成果的最终报告将发布在公共网站上，供更广泛的科学界阅读。

This award will support an international conference organized by the American Quaternary Association (AMQUA) in Anchorage, Alaska on August 5-7, 2002 entitled "Paleoclimate, Environmental Change, and Human Migrations in the North Pacific Basin." The purpose of the conference is to bring together international experts, practitioners, and students to share the latest developments in North Pacific paleoclimatology.Specifically, funds will provide an undergraduate assistant to help with organizational logistics, travel support for 15 students who will present posters on their research projects, and travel support for 7 experienced professionals who will be invited to provide presentations that synthesize the latest research in their area of expertise.The scientific themes of the various conference sessions are compatible and relevant to research projects supported by the Paleoclimate Program and include Late Holocene high-resolution climate studies, Quaternary paleoecology, and paleoclimatic teleconnections between high and low latitudes. A final report synthesizing and summarizing the conference findings will be posted on public websites for reading by the wider scientific community.
