Group Travel to the XXXIV SCAR Open Science Conference, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

该奖项支持多达45名美国科学家参加第34届SCAR开放科学会议（OSC），使他们能够展示他们的科学发现，与国际科学家开展新的合作，并参与SCAR相关活动和SCAR专家小组。在之前的研讨会上，美国科学家为SCAR开放科学会议的成功做出了重要的贡献。SCAR-OSC为产生或扩大研究生和早期职业研究人员通常无法获得的国际合作提供了一个关键平台。第34届SCAR-OSC会议“全球地球系统中的南极洲：从极地到热带”将于2016年8月22日至26日在马来西亚吉隆坡举行。SCAR开放科学会议的科学项目强调跨学科研究，将南极洲和南大洋置于全球背景下，为学生和早期职业研究人员提供必要的视角。除了5个多学科小型专题讨论会外，还有41个专题会议，内容包括南极和南大洋气候演变、冰盖、冰川和冰下动力学、生命多样性和进化及其独特的生态系统、大气、天体物理和天文观测、地表过程和景观、冰冻圈观测和生物群对全球天气和气候变化的响应等。这种支持将使更多样化的研究人员群体能够参与确定国际南极研究的未来方向，并将鼓励全球协作与合作。它将加强研究生和年轻调查人员的培训和发展，因为他们有机会与国际社会的南极研究人员互动。对参与国际合作活动感兴趣的所有级别的个人（学生到高级研究人员），并可能在SCAR小组中担任积极的领导角色，将成为支持的目标。极地早期职业科学家协会（APECS）是一个旨在促进跨学科研究合作和培养极地研究、教育和推广领域未来领导者的国际组织，将在第34届SCAR开放科学会议上为早期职业研究人员举办为期一天的职业发展研讨会。

Wilson/1639838This award supports attendance for up to 45 U.S. scientists at the 34th SCAR Open Science Conference (OSC) to enable them to present their scientific findings, develop new collaborations with international scientists and become involved in SCAR-related activities and SCAR specialists groups. In previous symposia, U.S. scientists have made important and significant contributions to the success of the SCAR Open Science Conferences. The SCAR-OSC provides a key platform for generating or augmenting international collaborations not generally available for graduate students and early-career researchers. The 34th SCAR-OSC meeting, Antarctica in the Global Earth System: From the Poles to the Tropics, will be held 22-26 August 2016 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The scientific program for the SCAR Open Science Conference emphasizes interdisciplinary research that places Antarctica and the Southern Ocean in a global context, providing essential perspective for students and early-career researchers. In addition to the five multi-disciplinary mini symposia there are 41 sessions that include research about the Antarctic and Southern Ocean climate evolution, ice-sheet, glacial and subglacial dynamics, diversity and evolution of life and its unique ecosystems, atmospheric, astrophysical and astronomical observations, surface processes and landscapes, observations of the cryosphere and biota responses to global weather and climate changes, among others. This support will allow a more diverse group of researchers to participate in defining the future direction of international Antarctic research and will encourage global collaboration and cooperation. It will augment the training and development of graduate students and young investigators as they benefit from the opportunity to interact with the international community of Antarctic researchers. Individuals at all levels (students to senior researchers) interested in engaging in international collaborative activities and, potentially, assuming active leadership roles in SCAR groups, will be targeted for support. The Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS), an international organization that aims to facilitate interdisciplinary research collaborations and develop future leaders in polar research, education and outreach, will have a one-day career development workshop available for early-career researchers at the 34th SCAR Open Science Conference.
