This award will support an international workshop to establish a dialog between field- and modeling-based scientists that will efficiently advance the understanding of sea level changes. Global sea level and the Earth?s climate are closely linked, and sea-level history throughout Quaternary time shows a complex spatial and temporal pattern that provides a globally averaged record of continental ice volume variations. Observations of this variability provide key constraints on the timing and amplitudes of the forcing mechanisms that trigger the growth and decay of ice masses. The goal of this workshop is to produce an integrated research agenda aimed at better constraining the relationships among solar insolation, greenhouse gases, ice sheet response, and sea-level change, with the aim of estimating future sea level rise. The workshop will foster communication between an interdisciplinary group of experts in the fields of paleoceanography, Quaternary geology, glaciology, geophysics,paleoclimatology, and karst geology. The identified participants are at various stages of their careers and come from diverse international training perspectives. Junior researchers and students from the United States will have a unique opportunity to interact with leading international experts on the topic of sea level change and develop the working relationships critical for their career development. Dissemination of the workshop activities will come through a special edition of a journal and a video archive of the workshop sessions suitable for researchers and teachers alike.

该奖项将支持举办一个国际研讨会，以在基于实地和建模的科学家之间建立对话，从而有效地增进对海平面变化的理解。全球海平面和地球气候密切相关，整个第四纪时期的海平面历史显示出复杂的时空模式，提供了大陆冰量变化的全球平均记录。对这种变化的观察为触发冰块生长和腐烂的强迫机制的时间和幅度提供了关键限制。 本次研讨会的目标是制定一个综合研究议程，旨在更好地限制日照、温室气体、冰盖响应和海平面变化之间的关系，以估计未来海平面上升。该研讨会将促进古海洋学、第四纪地质学、冰川学、地球物理学、古气候学和岩溶地质学领域的跨学科专家组之间的交流。确定的参与者处于职业生涯的不同阶段，并且来自不同的国际培训视角。 来自美国的初级研究人员和学生将有独特的机会与国际领先专家就海平面变化主题进行互动，并发展对其职业发展至关重要的工作关系。 研讨会活动将通过适合研究人员和教师的特别版期刊和研讨会视频档案进行传播。
