United States Representation in the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC): 2011-2012

该项目将通过向美国副总裁Jackie Grebmeier提供一些工资支持，以及为Jackie和美国工作组成员出席IASC和相关会议提供差旅支持，继续并增加美国在国际北极科学委员会(IASC)的代表性。该提案还将允许Sara Bowden向IASC五个工作组中的三个提供全职支持。机构间常委会目前正在进行内部重组和振兴，以回应最近的一次外部审查。美国工作组的10个成员？海洋、大气、陆地、冰冻圈和社会科学的每个学科领域有两个？这些国家最近在波茨坦参加了机构间常设委员会的第一次会议，并加入了一个国际小组，其任务是综合、协调，并在很小程度上支持广泛的跨学科的北极国际研究。该提案要求为工作组成员提供旅费，使他们能够每两年举行一次会议，推进机构间常委会的科学议程。

This project will continue and augment US representation to the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) through some salary support to the US VP, Jackie Grebmeier, and travel support for both Jackie and US working group members to attend IASC and related meetings. The proposal will also allow Sara Bowden to provide full time support to three of the five IASC working groups. IASC is currently undergoing internal restructuring and revitalizing in response to a recent external review. The 10 US working group members ? two per disciplinary area of Marine, Atmosphere, Terrestrial, Cryosphere, and Social Science ? have recently attended their first IASC meeting in Potsdam and join an international team purposed with the task of synthesizing, coordinating, and, to a small extent, supporting broadly interdisciplinary, international research in the Arctic. The proposal requests travel funds for the working groups members to allow them to meet biannually and advance the IASC scientific agenda.
