This project stimulates scientific interest in an existing facility and dataset developed in part by the National Science Foundation (NSF), Office of Polar Programs. This facility consists of 58 Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers located around the rocky coastline of Greenland, many of which have been collecting data nearly continuously for more than 10 years. This project fosters new and innovative research from these data by reaching out to science communities that include GPS experts and non-experts, or scientists that have not traditionally used GPS in their research. The investigators are increasing awareness of the facility and dataset and making the dataset more easily accessible. This project is important because it encourages innovative science from an existing large dataset that represents substantial investment of time, logistics, and funding by the NSF.The Greenland Geodetic Network (GNET) is currently jointly managed by the US and Denmark. This project is developing a Research Networking Activity aimed at encouraging innovative scientific research from the existing GNET dataset. The project specifically 1) broadens community awareness of, and engagement with, the GNET resource through the development of a data portal; 2) encourages new and innovative use of these data with the guidance of a scientific Steering Committee that includes researchers both internal and external to the GPS community; and 3) provides guidance for continued GNET research and network maintenance based on input from the Steering Committee and community feedback, obtained at international conferences. The objective of these activities is to make GNET data more accessible to GPS experts and non-experts, with the express purpose of encouraging the science community to pose and answer new questions associated with this unmatched dataset.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.

该项目激发了对现有设施和数据集的科学兴趣，这些设施和数据集部分由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）极地项目办公室开发。该设施由58个全球定位系统接收器组成，这些接收器位于格陵兰多岩石的海岸线周围，其中许多接收器已连续收集数据10多年。该项目通过接触科学界，包括GPS专家和非专家，或传统上没有在研究中使用GPS的科学家，促进从这些数据中进行新的和创新的研究。调查人员正在提高对设施和数据集的认识，并使数据集更容易获得。这个项目很重要，因为它鼓励创新的科学从一个现有的大型数据集，代表大量的时间，物流投资，并由NSF.格陵兰大地测量网络（GNET）目前由美国和丹麦共同管理的资金。该项目正在开展一项研究联网活动，旨在鼓励利用现有的全球网络数据集进行创新性科学研究。具体而言，该项目：1）通过开发数据门户，扩大社区对全球网络资源的认识和参与; 2）鼓励在科学指导委员会的指导下，以新的和创新的方式使用这些数据，该委员会包括全球定位系统社区内外的研究人员;以及3）根据指导委员会的投入和在国际会议上获得的社区反馈，为GNET的持续研究和网络维护提供指导。这些活动的目的是使全球定位系统专家和非专家更容易获得GNET数据，明确的目的是鼓励科学界提出和回答与这一无与伦比的数据集相关的新问题。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
