9603369 Berkman This award supports a three year collaborative research project between Professor Paul Berkman of the Ohio State University and Professor Kazuomi Hirakawa of Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan. This project will undertake a study of Cenozoic environmental variability in Antarctic coastal areas. The relevance of Antarctic coastal areas is that they contain integrated environmental records of the glaciological, geological, chemical and biological variability around the continent - in the transition zone which reflects the most immediate interaction between the ice sheets, sea level and climate. The major goals of this project are: 1) develop interdisciplinary approaches which integrate the biology and chemistry of marine macrofossils in a glacial geomorphological context for the purpose of interpreting Cenozoic ice-sheet, sea-level and climate impacts; and 2) facilitate interactions among Japanese and American scientists along with members of the international scientific community who are investigating the Cenozoic dynamics between the Antarctic ice sheets, sea level and climate. To facilitate distribution of the results of this research, several workshops will be held involving researchers from the United States (Ohio State University, the University of California), and Japan (Hokkaido University, Rissho University, Shimane University, Nagoya University, Shizuoka University and the National Institute of Polar Research). Understanding the environmental dynamics around Antarctica, which currently contains 90% of the ice on Earth, is necessary for accurately predicting global environmental changes which may occur in the future. The analyses and cooperation between the Japanese and American researchers will contribute to our understanding of the role of Antarctica in global change. ***

9603369 Berkman 该奖项支持俄亥俄州立大学的 Paul Berkman 教授和日本札幌北海道大学的 Kazuomi Hirakawa 教授之间为期三年的合作研究项目。 该项目将对南极沿海地区新生代环境变化进行研究。南极沿海地区的相关性在于，它们包含了该大陆周围冰川、地质、化学和生物变化的综合环境记录——过渡区反映了冰盖、海平面和气候之间最直接的相互作用。 该项目的主要目标是：1）开发跨学科方法，将海洋大化石的生物学和化学整合到冰川地貌背景中，以解释新生代冰盖、海平面和气候影响； 2）促进日本和美国科学家以及国际科学界成员之间的互动，他们正在研究南极冰盖、海平面和气候之间的新生代动态。 为了促进这项研究成果的传播，将举办多次研讨会，参与者包括来自美国（俄亥俄州立大学、加利福尼亚大学）和日本（北海道大学、立正大学、岛根大学、名古屋大学、静冈大学和日本）的研究人员。国家极地研究所）。 目前，南极洲拥有地球上 90% 的冰，了解南极洲周围的环境动态对于准确预测未来可能发生的全球环境变化至关重要。日本和美国研究人员之间的分析和合作将有助于我们了解南极洲在全球变化中的作用。 ***
