Frontiers and Opportunities in Antarctic Earth Sciences: U.S. Conference Participation proposal

该奖项支持美国参加国际地质大会之后将于2004年8月在意大利锡耶纳举行的“南极地球科学前沿和机会”国际讲习班。该讲习班将由南极国家博物馆主办，计划作为一个信息交流、宣传和讨论南极地球科学科学目标和突出问题的论坛。主旨发言者代表国际/国家研究倡议，并将讨论发展中的技术和跨学科的方法。该讲习班将为参与南极研究的国家提供一个重要的外联手段，并将汇集来自12个国家的调查人员，包括以前没有参与南极研究的年轻调查人员和科学家。将通过在《南极洲大地报告》特刊[www.mna.it/publications]上发表会议记录以及在会议网站www.mna.it上发表研讨会报告来传播会议结果。

This award supports U.S. participation in the international workshop "Frontiers and Opportunities in Antarctic Earth Sciences" to be held in Siena, Italy in August of 2004 following the International Geological Congress. The workshop will be hosted by the Museo Nationale dell Antartide and is planned as a forum for information exchange, outreach, and discussion of scientific goals and outstanding problems in Antarctic earth science. Keynote speakers represent international/national research initiatives and will address developing technologies and interdisciplinary approaches. The workshop will provide an important means of outreach among countries involved in Antarctic research and will bring together investigators from twelve nations, including young investigators and scientists not previously involved in Antarctica. Results will be disseminated by publication of the proceedings in a special issue of Terra Antarctica Reports [www.mna.it/publications], together with a workshop report on the conference website, www.mna.it.
