9422411 Croteau This award will provide a research fellowship for Keith Croteau to spend a year at the International Center for Antarctic Information and Research (ICAIR) located in Christchurch, New Zealand. While at ICAIR, Mr. Croteau will be working under Dr. Steven M. Smith, the Director of the Center, which is primarily concerned with assembling, processing and supplying research and general information relating to Antarctica and its environs. During the past few decades, the Ross Sea Region of Antarctica has witnessed increased utilization by both the scientific and non-scientific communities. In order to minimize negative impacts to the region, ICAIR is developing a management plan for Ross Island. Integral to the design of this plan is the use of remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) technologies. Specific objectives to be addressed by Croteau are to identify and evaluate available data for the Ross Sea region, to develop a GIS database for this area, and to conduct preliminary GIS analyses relevant to the development of a management plan for Ross Island. The benefits of this project extend beyond the cooperating countries of New Zealand and the U.S. An effective management plan will assist in coordinating the activities of all nations utilizing the Ross Island region. A well designed digital database will help facilitate the exchange of information concerning the Ross Sea region and perhaps may also set a precedent for the entire Antarctic region. The travel is supported under the U.S.-New Zealand Junior Investigator Research Fellowship activity.

小行星9422411 该奖项将为基思克罗托提供研究奖学金，在位于新西兰基督城的国际南极信息和研究中心（ICAIR）工作一年。在ICAIR期间，Croteau先生将在Steven M.该中心主要负责收集、处理和提供与南极洲及其周围地区有关的研究和一般信息。 在过去几十年中，科学界和非科学界对南极罗斯海区域的利用都有所增加。为了尽量减少对该地区的负面影响，ICAIR正在制定罗斯岛管理计划。该计划设计的一个组成部分是使用遥感和地理信息系统技术。 Croteau要处理的具体目标是确定和评价罗斯海区域的现有数据，为这一地区建立一个地理信息系统数据库，并进行与制定罗斯岛管理计划有关的初步地理信息系统分析。有效的管理计划将有助于协调利用罗斯岛地区的所有国家的活动。 一个设计良好的数字数据库将有助于促进有关罗斯海区域的信息交流，也许还可以为整个南极区域树立一个先例。 旅行是在美国的支持下-新西兰初级研究员研究奖学金活动。
