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

该奖项支持两个国际讲习班：“国际地球年的全球定位系统：POLENET项目”，将于2006年10月在德国德累斯顿举行;“国际地球年的地震学：POLENET项目”，将于2006年12月在旧金山弗朗西斯科与AGU联合举行。POLENET是极地地球观测网，是国际极地年的一个项目，目的是在南极和北极部署全球定位系统和地震台站，进行冰川学和地质学研究。这些讲习班由一个24国联合体规划，将协调部署、技术转让、分析、传播、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，并有助于培养下一代科学家和工程师的IPY目标。讲习班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.
