IPY: Collaborative Research: The NEEM Deep Ice Core

这是包括科罗拉多大学和堪萨斯大学在内的几个机构之间的合作提案。首席调查员要求提供资金，以支持美国科学家参与国际极地年(IPY)的NEEM项目，在格陵兰岛北部钻探新的深冰芯，以应对过去和未来的环境和气候。具体目标将包括获得上一次间冰期气候的记录。这段时间比今天温暖，是对未来潜在气候的最好模拟。当海平面比今天高出许多米时，这一岩心和雷达测绘将对格陵兰冰盖的大小提供限制。这一岩心应该揭示了伊米亚时期是否发生了气候突变。这些信息应该为气候突变提供更好的未来预测能力，并增加关于人类改变气候和环境如何适应自然气候变化的日益增长的知识。印缅是一项国际努力，由哥本哈根大学的冰川学小组领导。已有15个国家表达了参与的愿望。最初的提议被缩减为资助首席调查员詹姆斯·怀特博士作为占位符的旅行和计划会议，直到NEEM核心钻探完成。克劳德·莱尔德博士的雷达项目将主要由NSF的CReSIS(STC)计划提供支持。正如所提交的那样，这项提议为时过早，在取回岩芯并确定已经钻探了高质量的伊米安冰之前，将不会获得资金，否则这将只是另一个与GISP2或GRIP岩芯没有任何新的或不同的深层格陵兰岩芯。丹麦人刚刚收到了岩芯的资金，因此钻探最早可以在2007/2008年进行，最早可以通过Eemian取回岩芯的时间是2009年。莱尔德博士将获得资金，因为安装地面雷达至关重要，这样才能选择最好的钻探地点。主要调查人员请求提供资金，以支持美国科学家参与国际极地年(IPY)的NEEM项目，以在格陵兰岛北部钻探新的深层冰芯，以应对过去和未来的环境和气候。具体目标将包括获得上一次间冰期气候的记录。这段时间比今天温暖，是对未来潜在气候的最好模拟。当海平面比今天高出许多米时，这一岩心和雷达测绘将对格陵兰冰盖的大小提供限制。这一核心应该能揭示气候突变是否发生在较暖的伊米亚时期。这些信息应该为气候突变提供更好的未来预测能力，并增加关于人类改变气候和环境如何适应自然气候变化的日益增长的知识。印缅是一项国际努力，由哥本哈根大学的冰川学小组领导。已有15个国家表达了参与的愿望。最初的提议被缩减为资助首席调查员詹姆斯·怀特博士作为“占位符”的旅行和计划会议，直到近地电磁核心钻探完成。克劳德·莱尔德博士的雷达项目将主要由NSF的CReSIS(STC)计划提供支持。正如所提交的那样，这项提议为时过早，在取回岩芯并确定已经钻探了高质量的伊米亚冰之前，不会获得资金，否则这只是另一个与GISP2或GRIP岩芯没有任何新的或独一无二的东西的深层格陵兰岩芯。丹麦人刚刚收到了岩芯的资金，因此钻探最早可以在2007/2008年进行，最早可以通过Eemian取回岩芯的时间是2009年。莱尔德博士将获得资金，因为安装地面雷达至关重要，这样才能选择最好的钻探地点。

ABSTRACTWhiteOPP-0632222LairdOPP-0632105This is a collaborative proposal among several institutions including the Universities of Colorado and Kansas. The Principal Investigators request funds to support the participation of U.S. scientists in the NEEM Project for the International Polar Year (IPY) to drill new deep ice core in northern Greenland to address past and future environments and climates. Specific goals will include obtaining a record of the climate of last interglacial period, the Eemain. This period was warmer than today and is the best analog for potential future climate. This core and the radar mapping will provide constraints on the size of the Greenland ice sheet when sea level was many meters higher than today. This core should reveal if abrupt climate change occurred in the Eemian period. Such information should offer better future predictive power for abrupt climate shifts and add to the growing knowledge about how alterations of climate and the environment by humans fit within the context of natural climate change. NEEM is an international effort, led by the glaciology group at the University of Copenhagen. Fifteen countries have expressed a desire to participate.The original proposal was reduced to funding the lead Principal Investigator, Dr. James White for travel and planning meetings as a placeholder" until the NEEM core is drilled. Dr. Claude Laird's radar project will be mainly supported by the NSF's CReSIS (STC) Program. The proposal, as submitted, is premature and will not be funded until the core is retrieved and it is certain that high quality Eemian ice has been drilled, otherwise this will be just another deep Greenland core with nothing new or different from the GISP2 or GRIP cores. The Danes have just received funding for the core, so the earliest the drilling could be staged is in 2007/2008 and the earliest the core could be retrieved through the Eemian is 2009. Dr. Laird will be funded because it is critical that the surface radar be done so that the best site can be chosen for the drilling.
