This proposal will fund a three day workshop focused on the most recent Antarctic research, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary Earth Sciences. The workshop will be held September 20-22, 2015, which will be ideal timing for Antarctic researchers to attend. In addition, it will immediately follow the regular workshop for West Antarctic Ice Sheet researchers, held in the same venue, thus allowing interdisciplinary interactions, and potentially minimizing travel costs for participants. The timing might coincide with the release of the upcoming NRC report on future Antarctic research priorities. The single-session meeting will be guided by a seven-member interdisciplinary organizing committee that will identify unifying session themes based on their knowledge of recent research, and community interest. The scientific program will include invited presentations by established and early career scientists, contributed presentations, daily poster sessions and dedicated discussion time to promote exchange of ideas. One longer term goal is to establish a regular forum for U.S. Antarctic scientists to disseminate research results and engage in interdisciplinary discussions. In advance of the anticipated Shackleton Glacier logistics hub, the meeting would include a dedicated session to discuss logistics in the overall context of NSF Polar Programs, and will inform the community on the latest information from NSF and Antarctic Support Contract staff.The meeting will include a focus on basic Antarctic Earth Science research, along with critical questions about Antarctica?s role in the global environment that impact human welfare. The long term history of the Antarctic ice sheets is crucial to understanding the controls on sea level and global biogeochemical cycles. To facilitate more effective translation of research findings, the meeting will also include a session on effective science communication to help all researchers improve their engagement with the public.

该提案将资助为期三天的研讨会，重点是南极研究，重点是跨学科的地球科学。 研讨会将于2015年9月20日至22日举行，这将是南极研究人员参加的理想时机。 此外，它将立即在南极西部冰盖研究人员的常规研讨会上进行，从而在同一地点举行，从而允许跨学科的互动，并可能最大程度地减少参与者的旅行成本。 时机可能与即将发布的关于未来南极研究重点的NRC报告的发布相吻合。 一次会议会议将由一个由七人组成的跨学科组织委员会指导，该委员会将根据他们对最近的研究的了解和社区兴趣来确定会议主题。 该科学计划将包括成熟和早期职业科学家的邀请演讲，贡献演讲，每日海报会议以及促进思想交流的专门讨论时间。 一个长期的目标是为美国南极科学家建立一个常规的论坛，以传播研究结果并进行跨学科讨论。 在预期的Shackleton冰川物流中心之前，会议将包括一项专门讨论NSF Polar计划的整体背景下的物流，并将为社区提供NSF和南极支持合同工作人员的最新信息。会议将包括对基本南极科学研究的重点，以及有关Antarctica的重要问题，以及对全球环境的重要问题，这些问题影响了人类的人类韦尔富富尔士的影响。 南极冰盖的长期历史对于理解海平面和全球生物地球化学周期的控制至关重要。 为了促进对研究结果的更有效翻译，会议还将包括有关有效科学沟通的会议，以帮助所有研究人员改善与公众的参与。
