Mullins and WitmerOPP 9817876AbstractThis award, provided by the Antarctic Geology and Geophysics Program and the Antarctic Biology and Medicine Program of the Office of Polar Programs, supports mapping, surveying, satellite imagery, and geodetic activities in support of the US Antarctic Research Program. Geodetic surveying, aerial photography, remote sensing (principally using several varieties of satellite imagery), and mapping comprise a variety of activities necessary for the successful operation of a multifaceted scientific and exploration effort in Antarctica. Year-round data acquisition, cataloging, and data dissemination activities will continue in the US Antarctic Resource Center for geospatial information. Field surveys will be conducted both in support of specific research projects and as part of a continuing program to collect ground control data required to transform existing geodetic data to an earth-centered system suitable for future satellite mapping programs. LandSat data will be collected as part of satellite image mapping activities and publication of additional 1:50,000 scale topographic maps in the Dry Valleys region will continue. The topographic maps provide a base map on which to portray scientific information, such as geological, glaciological, and biological information in a spatially accurate manner for analysis. The maps and satellite image maps will also be used by scientists to plan and execute future research work. Spatially references digital cartographic data will be produced in tandem with the published maps.

Mullins 和 WitmerOPP 9817876 摘要该奖项由极地项目办公室的南极地质和地球物理项目以及南极生物和医学项目提供，支持测绘、测量、卫星图像和大地测量活动，以支持美国南极研究项目。大地测量、航空摄影、遥感（主要使用多种卫星图像）和测绘包括在南极洲成功开展多方面科学和探索工作所必需的各种活动。美国南极地理空间信息资源中心将继续开展全年数据采集、编目和数据传播活动。将进行实地调查，以支持具体的研究项目，并作为收集将现有大地测量数据转换为适合未来卫星测绘计划的地心系统所需的地面控制数据的持续计划的一部分。 LandSat 数据将作为卫星图像测绘活动的一部分进行收集，并将继续出版干谷地区额外的 1:50,000 比例地形图。地形图提供了一个底图，可以在其上以空间精确的方式描绘科学信息，例如地质、冰川和生物信息，以供分析。这些地图和卫星图像地图也将被科学家用来规划和执行未来的研究工作。空间参考数字制图数据将与已发布的地图一起生成。
