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.

0119298Ishman 该美洲奖项将支持南伊利诺伊大学卡本代尔分校的 Scott E. Ishman 博士进行计划访问，以完成与 0119298Ishman 博士的合作研究项目。国家自然历史博物馆的鲁本·马丁内斯 (Ruben E. Martinez)、圣佩德罗·诺拉斯科学院的鲁道夫·马丁内斯 (Rodolfo Martinez) 和丰克博物馆的路易斯·A·奇里诺 (Luis A. Chirino) 分别位于智利。 研究人员将在智利安托法加斯塔和圣地亚哥举行会议，并对智利梅希约内斯地区进行实地考察。智利北部地区提供了独特的地理环境，可以研究南太平洋东部地区对海洋和气候变化的显着变化的敏感性。根据海平面记录解释的南极冰量变化。 梅希约内斯盆地非常适合这项研究。 它代表了在活动边缘发育的浅海环境，附近有火山活动和其他重要的构造特征。 该拟议项目的结果将有助于更好地了解南极冰量变化、海洋和大气环流之间的相互关系，以及这些因素对厄尔尼诺等具有全球和经济意义的反复发生的海洋和气象事件的影响。
