0203555IshmanThis Americas award will support collaborative research between Drs. Scott E. Ishman and Nicholas Pinter of Southern Illinois University-Carbondale and Dr. Jacobus Le Roux, University of Chile, Dr. Guillermo Chong, Catholic University of Antofagasta, and Dr. Ruben Martinez-Pardo, National Museum of Natural History for their work on the Cenozoic Paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic evolution of Northern and Central Chile. The project will be done in the Mejillones Peninsula (MP) region in the north near Antofagasta and the Navidad region in central Chile to the southwest of Santiago.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.

0203555Ishman 该美洲奖项将支持博士之间的合作研究。南伊利诺伊大学卡本代尔分校的 Scott E. Ishman 和 Nicholas Pinter 以及智利大学的 Jacobus Le Roux 博士、安托法加斯塔天主教大学的 Guillermo Chong 博士以及国家自然历史博物馆的 Ruben Martinez-Pardo 博士的工作关于智利北部和中部的新生代古海洋学和古气候演化。 该项目将在安托法加斯塔附近的北部梅希约内斯半岛（MP）地区和智利中部圣地亚哥西南部的纳维达地区进行。智利北部地区提供了独特的地理环境，可以研究该地区的海洋学和气候敏感性。根据海平面记录解释，南太平洋东部到南极冰量变化的显着变化。 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。
