National Science Foundation (NSF) Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) Workshop Coordination: 2019-2023

这笔赠款是为了支持组织NSF地球空间环境建模(GEM)研讨会2019-2023年的协调工作。国家科学基金会(NSF)GEM计划是NSF磁层物理计划的基石，该计划支持对磁层物理以及磁层与大气和太阳风的耦合的研究。GEM方案侧重于全球磁层模型的开发。这一努力的成功取决于开放的合作和思想交流以及模式的发展和分享。通过各种数据模型挑战，在开放和建设性的过程中对模型进行比较和验证。实现创业板所需的公开交流与合作的手段在很大程度上取决于创业板定期研讨会。这个工作坊奖项通过为首席调查员(PI)和学生提供一个在互动环境中展示结果和讨论悬而未决的问题的机会来支持该项目的科学性。每年有两个宝石研讨会：6月为期一周的宝石夏季研讨会，其中包括学生日；12月为期一天的迷你宝石研讨会，在美国地球物理联合会秋季会议之前的星期天举行。该奖项为创业板研讨会提供协调支持，并为约75名参加夏季研讨会的学生提供旅行支持。磁层物理基础研究是国家空间气象行动计划及其相关工作的重要组成部分。磁层是保护地球免受太阳辐射影响的动力场。空间天气对地球的影响发生在磁层中，并通过磁层传播。撞击的严重程度取决于撞击时磁层的状况。对磁层进行科学建模对于建立能够过渡到与业务相关的模型的工具至关重要。创业板工作坊的另一个非常重要的组成部分是强烈的以学生为本的教育元素。这个奖项的大部分是为了支持学生参加创业板暑期工作坊。大部分学生资助是针对研究生的，但也可能是针对非常有天赋的本科生(就读于美国大学)。在很大程度上，GEM研讨会的作用是指导学生，促进从学生到科学界研究人员的转变。学生们有机会充分参与焦点小组会议，并在海报会议上介绍他们的研究，使之能够与更广泛的磁层社区进行详细讨论和互动。GEM学生组织已经由学生领袖和包括辅导课程在内的仅限学生参加的会议正式确定。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This grant is to support the organization of the NSF Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) Workshop Coordination for 2019-2023. The National Science Foundation (NSF) GEM program is a cornerstone of NSF's Magnetospheric Physics Program which supports the study of the physics of the magnetosphere and the coupling of the magnetosphere to the atmosphere and to the solar wind. The GEM program focuses on the development of global magnetospheric models. The success of this effort depends on open cooperation and exchange of ideas and the development and sharing of models. Through various data-model challenges, models are compared and validated in an open and constructive process. The means of achieving the open communication and cooperation required for GEM lies largely in the regular GEM workshops. This workshop award supports the science of the program by providing an opportunity for Principal Investigators (PIs) and students present results and discuss outstanding issues in an interactive setting. There are two GEM workshops each year: the week-long GEM Summer workshop in June which includes a student day and the one-day Mini-GEM workshop in December which is held the Sunday before the American Geophysical Union's Fall meeting. This award provides coordination support for both GEM workshops and travel support for approximately 75 students to attend the Summer workshop. Basic research in magnetospheric physics is a critical component of the National Space Weather Action Plan and associated efforts. The magnetosphere is the dynamic force field protecting Earth from Solar radiation. Space Weather impacts on Earth occur in and propagate through the magnetosphere. The severity of the impacts depends on the condition of the magnetosphere at the time of impact. Scientific modeling of the magnetosphere is critical for building the tools that can transition to operationally relevant models. Another very important component of the GEM workshops is a strong student-oriented educational element. The majority of this award is for support of student participation in the GEM Summer workshops. Most of the student support is directed toward graduate students but may also toward very talented undergraduate students (attending a U.S. university). In large part, the GEM workshops act to mentor the students and facilitate the transition from student to researcher in the science community. Students have the opportunity to participate fully in the focus group sessions and to present their research in poster sessions that enable detailed discussion and interaction with the broader magnetospheric community. The GEM student organization has been formalized with student leaders and a student-only meeting including tutorial lectures.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
