Antarctic Geographic Information Systems Workshop

[9419527]沃顿该奖项支持一个名为“南极地理信息系统”的研讨会。研讨会的目标是将地理信息系统（GIS）专家和对空间分析感兴趣的活跃的南极研究人员聚集在一起，评估美国南极计划（USAP） GIS的必要性，并讨论如何开发这样一个系统。举办这次研讨会的动机有两个方面：1)南极研究人员对空间分析的需求正在迅速增长；2) USAP需要客观的输入，以便优先考虑与USAP GIS潜在发展相关的研究支持决策。为期三天的研讨会将由美国地质调查局在弗吉尼亚州莱斯顿主办，并将受到邀请。组委会代表了南极研究界的一个很好的横截面，所有成员都熟悉地理信息系统，尽管不是专家。受邀的与会者将包括来自大学、政府机构和私营部门的GIS专家，以及活跃的USAP研究人员。将制作一份总结讲习班结果的讲习班报告。

9419527 Wharton This award supports a workshop entitled Antarctic Geographic Information Systems. The goal of the workshop is to bring together experts in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and active Antarctic researchers with an interest in spatial analysis to assess the need for a US Antarctic Program (USAP) GIS and to discuss how such a system might be developed. The impetus for holding this workshop is two-fold: 1) the spatial analysis requirements of Antarctic researchers are growing rapidly; and 2) the USAP requires objective input in order to prioritize research support decisions relating to the potential development of a USAP GIS. The three day workshop will be hosted by the US Geological Survey in Reston, Virginia, and will be by invitation. The organizing committee represents a good cross-section of the Antarctic research community and all members are familiar with, though not experts on, GIS. Invited participants will include GIS experts from universities, government agencies, and the private sector, as well as active USAP researchers. A workshop report summarizing results from the workshop will be produced.
