1634055MattioliThis grant supports a scientific workshop to be held in May 2016. NSF Geosciences previously supported the design, construction and initial operations of COCONet (Continuously Operating Caribbean GPS Observational Network) to promote advances in in tectonic and weather hazards research in the pan-Caribbean region (EAR-1042906). COCOnet development represents a partnership with 28 sovereign nation and 41 distinct administrative entities in the circum-Caribbean region. A network of over 80 continuously operating Global Positioning System and meteorological observation stations (GPS/Met) that were procured and deployed or refurbished with support from the COCONet construction awards is now nearly complete. In addition, the managing institution, UNAVCO, was able to negotiate with Caribbean partners for the ingestion of an additional 62 GPS data streams engaging Caribbean country regional data centers in the process. All data are publically accessible via the UNAVCO Data archive. Most recently over 80% of all COCONet sites were delivering data to the UNAVCO archive and 45 of those stations deliver in near real time and at high rate (1 Hz). The COCONet data support: 1) constraints on the tectonics of the entire Caribbean region; 2) the enhancement of atmospheric observations that can be used to test and extend climate models; 3) improvement of the analysis of local geodetic measurements by providing access to an integrated backbone of reference stations; and 4) improved likelihood of forecasting natural hazards that pose such a significant threat to the region.The focus of the workshop presentations and discussions will be on the scientific results, current status and operational requirements, identification of possible pathways to sustain operations into the future, and international capacity building opportunities afforded by the COCONet GPS/Met network. The proposed workshop will bring together scientists, government agency and emergency management officials to discuss the scientific achievements and operational success of COCONet to date, this will include scientists and students from several Caribbean region countries including representatives that are now in charge of established regional COCONet data centers. The workshop will address issues such as hardware and software standardization and will have focused talks highlighting regional partner experiences on the status of the network in their country and how they are planning to maintain and operate COCONet systems. Regional Data Center (RDC) directors from Colombia, Nicaragua, and Barbados will present the status of the data centers in their country and ideas about how to maintain these regional centers for the long-term. The workshop will engage student participation from Caribbean and U.S. academic institutions. This grant is made with support from multiple Programs in the Geosciences Directorate and the Office of International Science and Engineering. This support is congruent with NSFs mission of promoting the progress of science and advancing the national health, prosperity and welfare given the importance of advancing understanding of geohazards that routinely impact the interests of the U.S. as well the training of students in geoscience research and research methods with potential downstream workforce benefits to earth science, meteorology, engineering and emergency management sectors.

1634055 Mattiolithis Grant支持将于2016年5月举行的科学研讨会。NSF地球科学先前支持Coconet（连续运营加勒比GPS观察网络）的设计，建设和初始操作，以促进pan caribbean地区的构造和天气危害研究的进步。 Coconet的发展代表了与加勒比海地区的28个主权国家和41个不同的行政实体的合作伙伴关系。 在Coconet Construction Awards的支持下，由80多个连续运行的全球定位系统和气象观察站（GPS/MET）组成的网络已经接近完成。 此外，管理机构UNAVCO能够与加勒比海伙伴进行谈判，以摄入另外62个GPS数据流，吸引加勒比海国家地区数据中心。 所有数据均可通过UNAVCO数据存档公开访问。 最近，超过80％的所有椰子站点都向UNAVCO档案馆传递数据，其中45个站点几乎实时交付，并以高速度（1 Hz）交付。 Coconet数据支持：1）对整个加勒比地区构造的约束； 2）可用于测试和扩展气候模型的大气观测的增强； 3）通过提供对参考站的集成骨架的访问，改善了局部大地测量的分析； 4）提高了预测自然危害的可能性，对该地区构成了如此重大的威胁。研讨会演示和讨论的重点将放在科学结果，当前状态和运营要求，确定未来运营的可能途径以及椰球GPS/Met Met网络提供的国际能力建设机会。 拟议的研讨会将召集科学家，政府机构和应急管理官员，讨论迄今为止Coconet的科学成就和运营成功，这将包括来自加勒比地区几个国家国家的科学家和学生，包括现在负责已建立的区域椰网数据中心的代表。 研讨会将解决诸如硬件和软件标准化之类的问题，并将集中谈论强调该国网络地位的区域合作伙伴经验以及他们计划如何维护和操作Coconet Systems。 来自哥伦比亚，尼加拉瓜和巴巴多斯的区域数据中心（RDC）董事将介绍其国家数据中心的地位，以及有关如何长期维持这些区域中心的想法。 该研讨会将吸引加勒比海和美国学术机构的学生参与。 这项赠款是在地球科学局和国际科学与工程办公室的多个计划的支持下进行的。 这种支持与NSFS的使命一致，即促进科学的进步并推进国家健康，繁荣和福利，鉴于对地质灾害的理解的重要性，这些理解通常会影响美国的利益，以及在地球科学研究和研究方法中培训学生在下游劳动力，潜在的下游劳动力，对地球科学，气象，工程学，工程学和应急管理和应急管理和应急服务派别受益。
