0119298IshmanThis Americas award will support a planning visit by Dr. Scott E. Ishman of Southern Illinois University-Carbondale to finalize a cooperative research project with Drs. Ruben E. Martinez of the National Museum of Natural History, Rodolfo Martinez of San Pedro Nolasco College and Luis A. Chirino of Museo Fonck, all in Chile, respectively. The researchers will meet in Antofagasta and Santiago, Chile and will do site visits to localities in the Mejillones region of Chile.The northern region of Chile provides a unique geographic setting to investigate the oceanographic and climatic sensitivity of the eastern South Pacific to significant changes in Antarctic ice volume change as interpreted from sea-level records. The Mejillones Basin is ideal for this research. It represents a shallow marine setting developed on an active margin with nearby volcanism and other significant tectonic features. Results from this proposed project will provide a better understanding of the interconnection between Antarctic ice volume change, oceanographic and atmospheric circulation, and the impacts these have on recurring oceanographic and meteorological events such as El Nino, which have global and economic significance.

0119298 ishmanthis Americas Award将支持南部伊利诺伊大学 - 卡宾代尔的Scott E. Ishman博士的计划访问，以最终确定DRS的合作研究项目。国家自然历史博物馆的Ruben E. Martinez，San Pedro Nolasco College的Rodolfo Martinez和Museo Fonck的Luis A. Chirino分别在智利。 研究人员将在智利的Antofagasta和Santiago见面，并将对智利梅吉隆斯地区的地区进行现场访问。智利北部地区提供了一个独特的地理环境，以研究南部太平洋东部的海洋敏感性，以使南极冰量的重大变化从海平面记录中解释为对南极冰的重大变化。 Mejillones盆地是这项研究的理想选择。 它代表了一个浅层海洋环境，在附近的火山和其他重要的构造特征上开发了一个浅水区。 该拟议项目的结果将更好地了解南极冰量变化，海洋学和大气循环之间的相互联系，以及这些对重复的海洋学和气象事件的影响，例如El Nino，这些事件具有全球和经济意义。
