0636361Science and engineering research and education are foundational drivers of cyberinfrastructure. Understanding the relationship between sea level rise and melting ice sheets is the application domain of this proposal. It is an issue of global importance, especially for the populations living in coastal regions. Scientists are in need of computationally intensive tools and models that will help them measure and predict the response of ice sheets to climate change. The goal for this project is to create a virtual classroom and a TeraGrid gateway for ice-sheet research and education. The major effort will be to utilize the research perfomed by the NSF Science and Technology Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheeets (CReSIS), for educational purposes, through collaborations with the Minority Serving Institutions Cyberinfrastructure Institute (MSI-C(I)2), and the Association of Computer and Information Science/Engineering Departments at Minority Institutions (ADMI). The vision is to prepare the current and next generation of traditionally, underrepresented, minority scientists, engineers and educators with the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct interdisciplinary research in areas of cyberinfrastructure, remote sensing, engineering and modeling related to glaciers and ice sheets. Broader Impacts: This project brings together effective partners to incorporate both academic year research and summer outreach in conjunction with minority serving institutions to reach a diverse student population.

科学与工程研究和教育是网络基础设施的基本驱动力。理解海平面上升和冰盖融化之间的关系是这一提议的应用领域。这是一个具有全球重要性的问题，特别是对生活在沿海地区的人口来说。科学家们需要计算密集的工具和模型来帮助他们测量和预测冰盖对气候变化的反应。该项目的目标是为冰盖研究和教育创建一个虚拟教室和一个TeraGrid网关。主要工作将是通过与少数群体服务机构数字基础设施研究所(MSI-C(I)2)和少数群体机构计算机和信息科学/工程系协会(ADMI)合作，将国家科学基金会冰盖遥感科学和技术中心(CReSIS)开展的研究用于教育目的。其愿景是使当前和下一代传统上代表性不足的少数族裔科学家、工程师和教育工作者掌握必要的知识和技能，以便在与冰川和冰盖有关的网络基础设施、遥感、工程和建模等领域进行跨学科研究。更广泛的影响：该项目汇集了有效的合作伙伴，将学年研究和暑期推广与少数族裔服务机构结合起来，以接触到不同的学生群体。
