Funding for Workshop on Paleoenvironmental Proxies; San Francisco, CA

要求为关于古环境代用指标当前和未来研究方向的多学科讲习班提供资金。其目标是建立未来的研究需求和方向，代理开发，将承担相关的研究在NSF的地球科学部的地球物理学，ATM和OCE计划。大约50名研究人员将参加研讨会，其中包括现代海洋学界的成员和古气候学家和古海洋学家，他们的工作时间跨度从冰芯到钻芯。讲习班将在2005年秋季AGU会议之后立即在旧金山弗朗西斯科举行，尽管不限于具体的方法，但将着重强调地球化学方法及其与数值模型的关系。概括性的问题将探索代理方法的现状，最重要的是，我们下一步需要去哪里。我们仍然相信，对现代/近现代海洋的更清晰的视野在未来的深时间探索中至关重要。同样，地质记录为我们提供了唯一的窗口，让我们了解未来气候可能出现的地球系统状态的全部范围。我们的目标是汇集新的观点，新的想法，新的问题和新的同事。要求提供资金，以支付研讨会期间的旅馆和膳食费用，以及与组织研讨会有关的费用。

JohnsonEAR-0609120Funding is requested for a multidisciplinary workshop on current and future research directions in paleoenvironmental proxies. The goal is to establish future research needs and directions in proxy development that will bear on research related to EAR, ATM, and OCE programs in the Geosciences Division of NSF. Approximately 50 researchers will participate in the workshop, including members of the modern oceanographic community and paleoclimatologists and paleoceanographers working on timescales spanning from ice cores to drill cores. The workshop will be held in San Francisco immediately following the Fall 2005 AGU Meeting.Although not limited to specific approaches, there will be a strong emphasis on geochemical methods and their relationships to numerical models. Overarching questions will explore the present state of proxy approaches and, most importantly, where we need to go next. We remain convinced that a sharper vision of the modern/near modern ocean is paramount in future explorations of deep time. And, similarly, the geologic record provides our only window to the full range of earth system states possible for future climate. The goal is to bring together new perspectives, new ideas, new questions, and new colleagues. Funds are requested to cover hotel and meal expenses for the days of the workshop, as well as costs associated with the organization of the workshop.
