9723583 Pilskaln This award supports a visit to China by U.S .researchers Cynthia Pilskaln, Fei Chai, and Richard Barber to plan future research collaborations in the Southern Ocean. The trip will allow the U.S. P.I.s to develop a joint U.S.-China research program in the Southern Ocean, taking advantage of annual cruises by the Chinese to their Antarctic Research Station. The Chinese counterpart is Dong Zhaoqian, Director of the Polar Research Institute, Shanghai. During the planning visit, the P.I.s will meet with Chinese scientists and government officials to discuss and develop mutual scientific interests and devise a joint research plan. The P.I.s will also visit the newly constructed polar research vessel, Xue Long, to see first hand the research instrumentation available and to discuss sampling and at-sea analysis procedures with the ship's crew and technicians. The Southern Ocean is comparatively unsampled; this lack of data is an obstacle to improved understanding of global climate. Use of the regularly scheduled Chinese research vessel trips to the Antarctic could provide an important additional platform for data acquisition, but arranging such joint programs requires face to face meetings and development of detailed understandings. This planning visit is an important initial step in a potentially valuable cooperation.

9723583 Pilskaln 该奖项支持美国研究人员 Cynthia Pilskaln、Fei Chai 和 Richard Barber 访问中国，以规划未来在南大洋的研究合作。 这次访问将使美国私人情报机构利用中国每年前往南极研究站的机会，在南大洋开展美中联合研究项目。 中方负责人是上海极地研究所所长董兆前。 在计划访问期间，项目负责人将与中国科学家和政府官员会面，讨论和发展共同的科学利益，并制定联合研究计划。 项目负责人还将参观新建的极地科考船“雪龙号”，亲眼查看可用的研究仪器，并与船上的船员和技术人员讨论采样和海上分析程序。 南大洋相对来说没有采样；数据的缺乏阻碍了加深对全球气候的了解。 利用中国科考船定期前往南极洲的航行可以为数据获取提供一个重要的额外平台，但安排此类联合项目需要面对面的会议并形成详细的了解。 这次规划访问是潜在有价值合作的重要第一步。
