Group Travel to the 12th International Symposium on Antarctic Earth Sciences (ISAES), Goa, India

南极地球科学国际研讨会（ISAES）每四年举行一次，是介绍南极最新科学研究的主要会议。第12届isae会议将于2015年7月13日至17日在印度果阿举行。在以往的研讨会上，美国科学家为会议的成功做出了重要贡献。这些资金将用于支持约19名美国地球科学家出席会议的旅费，使他们能够展示他们的科学发现，并从学术思想交流中受益。最优先考虑的是没有其他资源来抵消旅费的研究生和早期职业研究人员。旅行支持的请求将由两个项目pi与来自伯德极地与气候研究中心和俄亥俄州立大学地球科学学院的一组地球科学家进行评估。ISAES 2015的科学计划强调跨学科研究，将南极洲置于全球背景下，这是所有地球科学家都感兴趣的。会议为学生和早期职业研究人员提供了重要的视角。科学主题包括：南极洲、南大洋、气候演变和全球冰冻圈；生物多样性与生命进化；南极表面过程、景观及其与冰冻圈和气候的联系《南极与超大陆演化与南极地球科学前沿》，以及其他许多主题。专题讨论会的报告和出版物提供了南极地球科学研究活动的重要记录，也是规划未来国际合作研究的宝贵资源。

The International Symposium on Antarctic Earth Sciences (ISAES) is held every four years and is a premier conference for the presentation of the latest scientific research in Antarctica. The 12th ISAES meeting will be held 13-17 July 2015 in Goa, India. In previous symposia, U.S. scientists made important contributions to the success of the meetings. These funds will be used to support the travel costs associated with the attendance of approximately 19 U.S. Earth scientists, enabling them to present their scientific findings and benefit from the scholarly exchange of ideas. The highest priority will be given to graduate students and early career investigators who do not have other resources to offset their travel costs. Requests for travel support will be evaluated by the two project PIs along with a group of geoscientists from the Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center and School of Earth Sciences at The Ohio State University. The scientific program for ISAES 2015 emphasizes interdisciplinary research that places Antarctica in a global context, and is of interest to all Earth scientists. The meeting provides essential perspective for students and early-career researchers. The science themes include: Antarctica, the Southern Ocean, and the Evolution of Climate and the Global Cryosphere; Biodiversity and the Evolution of Life; Antarctic Surface Processes, Landscapes, and Links with Cryosphere and Climate; Antarctica and supercontinent evolution and Frontiers in Antarctic Earth Science, amongst many other topics. Symposium presentations and publications provide a key record of research activities in Antarctic Earth Sciences, and an invaluable resource for planning future, international, collaborative research.
