Collaborative Research: POLENET Workshops: GPS & Seismology Planning for IPY

该奖项支持两个国际讲习班：将于2006年10月在德国德累斯顿举行的“国际和平年的全球定位系统：POLENET项目”和将于2006年12月与AGU一起在旧金山举行的“国际地球年的地震学：POLENET项目”。Polenet是极地地球观测网络，是一个国际极年项目，在南极和北极部署GPS和地震站，用于冰川和地质研究。这些研讨会由24个国家联盟计划，将协调部署、技术转让、分析、传播以及教育和外联战略。就更广泛的影响而言，这些讲习班将促进国际合作和数据共享。毕业生的参与将提供全球合作研究的经验，并为IPY培养下一代科学家和工程师的目标做出贡献。讲习班上还将制定教育和外联计划。

This award supports two international workshops: "GPS in the IPY: the POLENET Project" to be held in Dresden, Germany, in October, 2006; and "Seismology in the IPY: the POLENET Project" to be held in San Francisco in conjunction with AGU in December, 2006. POLENET is the Polar Earth Observing Network, an International Polar Year project to deploy GPS and seismic stations through the Antarctic and Arctic for glaciologic and geologic research. Planned by a twenty-four nation consortium, these workshops will coordinate deployment, technology transfer, analysis, dissemination, and education and outreach strategies. In terms of broader impacts, these workshops will foster international collaboration and data sharing. Graduates student participation will offer experience in global, collaborative research, and contribute to the IPY objective of training the next generation of scientists and engineers. Plans for education and outreach will be also developed at the workshops.
