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.

9419527沃顿商学院这个奖项支持一个名为南极地理信息系统的研讨会。讲习班的目标是将地理信息系统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，以评估对美国南极方案地理信息系统的需求，并讨论如何开发这样一个系统。举办这一讲习班的动机有两个：1)南极研究人员的空间分析需求正在迅速增长；2)USAP需要客观的投入，以便确定与USAP地理信息系统潜在开发有关的研究支助决定的优先次序。这次为期三天的研讨会将由弗吉尼亚州莱斯顿的美国地质调查局主办，并将应邀参加。组织委员会代表了南极研究界的一个很好的领域，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地理信息系统专家，以及活跃的USAP研究人员。将编写一份总结研讨会成果的研讨会报告。
