Collaborative Project: Ice Drilling Program Office (IDPO)

Albert/0841308 Twickler/0841166 Bentley/0841225冰芯记录导致了许多重要的发现，并彻底改变了气候科学。美国冰芯取芯界的成员领导了对冰芯的检索和研究工作，但美国在这一领域的持续科学生产力，包括知识的产生和下一代科学家的培养，严重依赖于确保冰芯取芯工作的连续性和国际合作的机制，沿着适当的钻头、钻探专业知识和钻探技术创新的可用性。该奖项为科学钻探支持办公室（SDSO）提供支持，该办公室将与冰钻设计和运营小组（IDDOG）密切合作。该项目的智力价值体现在该项目的五个密切相关的目标中。这些目标是：1）响应社区的投入，在冰芯科学和钻探研究规划方面提供社区领导，2）对针对IDDOG的项目提供科学监督，3）确定新技术需求并为其开发寻求资金，4）加强与冰芯科学和冰芯钻探技术相关的沟通和信息交流，作为对社区的服务，5）协调美国冰芯研究和钻探技术团体与国际团体之间的信息交流。该项目的更广泛影响包括组织和传播科学规划的成果，检索、转化为数字媒体，传播以前尚未广泛提供的关于冰钻技术方面的现有知识，沿着传播关于当前问题和钻井技术解决方案的知识。SDSO将支持美国冰冻圈科学和钻探界，以促进规划工作，并积极主动地进行规划和协调，这是形成和执行不断发展的冰芯计划所必需的。一个持续的，连续的计划的形成将培养所有年龄，种族和性别的学生的包容性，并将有助于推出研究生到有前途的职业生涯在气候科学，由此产生的发现将帮助所有公民。实现该项目的目标将使美国冰芯研究界能够实现其国际协调的冰芯目标，在冰芯科学发现方面引领世界，培养下一代科学家和工程师的教育和发展，并有助于向所有人传达他们发现的重要性。

Albert/0841308 Twickler/0841166 Bentley/0841225 Ice core records have led to many important discoveries and have revolutionized climate science. Members of the U.S. ice coring community have led the efforts to retrieve and study ice cores yet continued U.S. scientific productivity in this area, including both knowledge generation and creation of the next generation of scientists, critically depends upon a mechanism for ensuring continuity and international cooperation in ice coring efforts, along with availability of appropriate drills, drilling expertise, and innovations in drilling technology. This award provides support for a Scientific Drilling Support Office (SDSO) that will work closely and cooperatively with an Ice Drilling Design and Operations Group (IDDOG). The intellectual merit of this project is embodied in the five closely linked goals of this project. These are to: 1) Provide community leadership in ice core science and drilling research planning in response to community input, 2) Provide scientific oversight of projects directed to the IDDOG, 3) Identify new technology needs and seek funding for their development, 4) Enhance communication and information exchange related to ice core science and ice core drilling technology as a service to the community, and 5) Coordinate information exchange between U.S. ice core research and drilling technology communities and international groups. The broader impacts of this project include organization and dissemination of results of science planning, and the retrieval, transformation to digital media, and dissemination of existing knowledge on aspects of ice drilling technology that have not previously been widely available, along with dissemination of knowledge of current issues and solutions for drilling technology. The SDSO will work in support of the U.S. cryospheric sciences and drilling communities to facilitate planning efforts and to be proactive in the planning and coordination that is necessary to form and execute continuously evolving ice core programs. The formation of an ongoing, continuous program will nurture the inclusion of students of all ages, races, and genders, and will help to launch graduate students into promising careers in climate science, and the resulting discoveries will help all citizens. Achieving the goals of this project will enable the U.S. ice coring research community to realize implementation of their internationally-coordinated ice coring goals, lead the world in ice coring science discoveries, nurture the education and development of the next generation of scientists and engineers, and help to communicate the importance of their discoveries to all.
