The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is a key region of scientific interest in ice-ocean interaction, global connections and influences on the climate system, and polar climate change. In addition, the region is one of the largest potential contributors to sea-level rise in the coming centuries. The overall goal of this workshop is to foster multi-disciplinary discussion and planning among a broad array of scientists from different backgrounds and career stages. The priorities for discussion and further development are guided by a 2015 National Academy of Sciences (NAS) report.The specific goals for this 23rd WAIS workshop are to (1) air the latest WAIS science, (2) discuss potential next steps in community planning to respond to the top priority in the 2015 NAS report, (3) engage students and early career scientists, (4) discuss new technologies, modeling approaches, and potential field targets for future research, and (5) encourage research data submission and good metadata practices. The workshop will be held on 3-6 October, 2016 near Washington, DC.

南极西部冰盖 (WAIS) 是冰-海洋相互作用、全球联系及其对气候系统的影响以及极地气候变化方面具有科学意义的关键区域。此外，该地区是未来几个世纪海平面上升的最大潜在贡献者之一。本次研讨会的总体目标是促进来自不同背景和职业阶段的广泛科学家之间的多学科讨论和规划。 讨论和进一步发展的优先事项以 2015 年美国国家科学院 (NAS) 报告为指导。第 23 届 WAIS 研讨会的具体目标是 (1) 传播最新的 WAIS 科学知识，(2) 讨论社区规划的潜在后续步骤为了响应 2015 年 NAS 报告中的首要任务，(3) 吸引学生和早期职业科学家，(4) 讨论新技术、建模方法和未来研究的潜在领域目标，(5) 鼓励研究数据提交和良好的元数据做法。 该研讨会将于 2016 年 10 月 3 日至 6 日在华盛顿特区附近举行。
