This award supports the Tenth Annual International Symposium on Antarctic Earth Sciences (ISAES) to be held at the University of California, Santa Barbara, in August 2007. This conference will be an integrated, multidisciplinary meeting that brings scientists from around the globe together to explore links among the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere under the theme Antarctica: A Keystone in a Changing World. Inaugurating the International Polar Year (IPY), that begins in 2007, the meeting will establish new directions for interdisciplinary Antarctic research in the 21st Century. ISAES has a long history and is the foremost international Antarctic geoscience meeting, convened every four years since 1963. Historically the focus has been on the lithosphere, attracting hundreds of scientists from over thirty countries. An innovation in 2007 will be to organize the symposium around cross-disciplinary themes to engage the glaciology, oceanography, and biology communities with solid Earth scientists. The symposium will feature new and emerging technologies that are changing the scope and pace of scientific discovery on the continent, but which rely on ever-closer international cooperation.In terms of broader impacts, ISAES promotes international collaborations, even between nations with overlapping territorial claims in Antarctica, thereby helping to maintain one of the main tenets of the Antarctic Treaty: peaceful co-existence and cooperative research endeavors. As an inaugural event for IPY, the Symposium will also attract media coverage and raise the public profile of polar science. In addition, the symposium will serve as a point of entry for early career scientists just discovering the importance of Antarctic research.

该奖项支持将于 2007 年 8 月在加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校举行的第十届南极地球科学国际研讨会 (ISAES)。这次会议将是一次综合性、多学科的会议，来自世界各地的科学家齐聚一堂，共同探索以南极洲：变化世界的基石为主题，探讨岩石圈、水圈、大气层和生物圈之间的联系。此次会议拉开了 2007 年国际极地年 (IPY) 的序幕，将为 21 世纪跨学科南极研究确定新方向。 ISAES 历史悠久，是最重要的国际南极地球科学会议，自 1963 年以来每四年召开一次。历史上的重点一直是岩石圈，吸引了来自 30 多个国家的数百名科学家。 2007 年的一项创新是围绕跨学科主题组织研讨会，让冰川学、海洋学和生物学界与固体地球科学家进行交流。研讨会将重点讨论新兴技术，这些技术正在改变非洲大陆科学发现的范围和速度，但这些技术依赖于日益密切的国际合作。在更广泛的影响方面，ISAES 促进国际合作，即使是在拥有重叠领土主张的国家之间南极洲，从而有助于维护《南极条约》的主要宗旨之一：和平共处和合作研究努力。作为IPY的首届活动，研讨会还将吸引媒体报道并提高极地科学的公众形象。此外，该研讨会还将成为刚刚发现南极研究重要性的早期职业科学家的切入点。
