International Symposium on Ice-Water Interactions; Portland, Oregon; Summer, 2004

该奖项为将于2004年夏天在俄勒冈州波特兰的波特兰州立大学举行的冰水相互作用国际研讨会提供支持。 这次研讨会是向国际冰川学会（IGS）提出并被接受的，是该学会每年主办的两个主要研讨会之一。 组织这次研讨会的一个重要目的是促进冰雪水文学专家之间的跨学科对话。 虽然他们的主题是相关的，但这些群体很少有机会直接互动。 通过在太平洋西北部主办专题讨论会，将提请注意冰雪在区域资源问题中的地位。 水和冰之间的相互作用涵盖了广泛的主题，从冰川学的一些基本问题到依赖高山流域的人们的日常生活。 本次研讨会将致力于冰和水之间的宏观和微观相互作用，提供跨相界讨论的新途径。例如，对冰川基底排水系统的调查与冰下融化和冻结过程的研究密切相关，而这两者又与现代和古环境中冰川和冰盖流动速率的研究有关;冰川学家、水文学家和生物学家可以分享关于融化和融水排放的时间和速率及其下游影响的知识;可以探索冰川和冰架断裂过程之间的相似性和差异。 为期一周的研讨会将于2004年7月26日至30日举行，会议形式包括口头和海报介绍。 选定的论文将由IGS在《冰川学年鉴》上发表。 将鼓励学生参与。 该奖项为会议网站的开发提供了少量支持，并提供了一名行政助理来管理会议登记、住宿预订和相关问题。 通过减少总体会议费用，这项赠款支持将使组织者能够向学生收取较低的注册费，鼓励他们参加研讨会。

This award provides support for the International Symposium on Ice-Water Interactions which will be held at Portland State University, Portland, Oregon, in the summer of 2004. This symposium was proposed to and accepted by the International Glaciological Society (IGS) as one of two major symposia sponsored by the Society each year. An important goal in organizing this symposium is to promote interdisciplinary dialog between specialists in snow and ice hydrology. While their topics are related, these groups rarelyenjoy the opportunity to interact directly. By hosting the symposium in the Pacific Northwest, attention will be drawn to the place of snow and ice in regional resource issues. Interactions between water and ice span a wide range of topics, from some of the fundamental problems in glaciology to the daily lives of people who depend on alpine watersheds. This symposium will be devoted to the macro and mirco interactions between ice and water, providing new avenues for discussion across the phase boundary. For example, investigations of basal water-drainage systems in glaciers have an affinity with studies of subglacial melting and freezing processes, both of which are in turn connected to studies of glacier and ice-sheet flow rates, in both modern and paleo-environments; glaciologists, hydrologists, and biologists can share knowledge regarding the timing and rate of melt and meltwater discharge and its downstream effects; and similarities and differences between glacier and ice-shelf calving processes can be explored. The week-long symposium will take place from 26 to 30 July 2004.The meeting format will include both oral and poster presentations. Selected papers will be published by the IGS in the Annals of Glaciology. Student participation will be encouraged. This award provides a small amount of support for the development of a meeting website and an administrative assistant to manage meeting registration, reservations for accommodation, and related issues. By reducing overall meeting expenses, this grant support will allow the organizers to charge a lower registration fee for students, encouraging their participation in the symposium.
