项目摘要

Intellectual Merit: New Zealand has recently established the NZ Antarctic Research Institute (NZARI). The travel support requested here will allow U.S. researchers to attend an "Antarctic Futures Workshop" to help identify set of scientific challenges where NZARI could collaborate with the U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP) in the future. Some initial possible areas of collaboration include: predicting non-linear behavior and tipping points in Antarctica?s natural systems, tracking the impacts of change in Antarctica and predicting far field responses, and assessing the resilience of Antarctic and Southern Ocean ecosystems. The Ross Embayment remains a high-priority target area to address these research topics. The workshop will be held March 13-15, 2013 in Auckland New Zealand. More than 50 New Zealand Scientists are expected to attend. Most of the workshop agenda will be devoted to working group discussions in order to focus areas of common interest. Eight US scientists representing a wide range of disciplines have been invited to participate.Broader impacts: The "Antarctic Futures Workshop" will develop and refine key research questions that will inform future NZARI research priorities in the Ross Sea region. U.S. participation in the workshop will help define common opportunities and interests between New Zealand and U.S. Antarctic research programs, with the goal of facilitating the development of collaborative research proposals where there is common interest and creating the ability to pool logistical resources to ensure cost effective and transformative science.

智力优势：新西兰最近成立了新西兰南极研究所（NZARI）。这里请求的旅行支持将使美国研究人员能够参加“南极未来研讨会”，以帮助确定 NZARI 未来可以与美国南极计划 (USAP) 合作的一系列科学挑战。一些初步可能的合作领域包括：预测南极洲自然系统的非线性行为和临界点，跟踪南极洲变化的影响并预测远场响应，以及评估南极洲和南大洋生态系统的恢复力。罗斯海湾仍然是解决这些研究主题的高度优先目标区域。该研讨会将于2013年3月13日至15日在新西兰奥克兰举行。预计将有超过 50 名新西兰科学家参加。研讨会议程的大部分内容将专门用于工作组讨论，以重点关注共同感兴趣的领域。代表不同学科的八位美国科学家已受邀参加。更广泛的影响：“南极未来研讨会”将制定和完善关键研究问题，为 NZARI 未来在罗斯海地区的研究重点提供信息。美国参加研讨会将有助于确定新西兰和美国南极研究计划之间的共同机会和利益，目的是促进有共同利益的合作研究提案的制定，并建立汇集后勤资源的能力，以确保成本效益和变革性的科学。
