2019 Undergraduate Greenland Workshop

来自五个不同机构的教师将为本科生组织和管理一个讲习班，这将提供一个学习如何在格陵兰进行气象研究的机会。参加这次活动的学生将学习如何在格陵兰冰盖或其附近测量能量通量和高空无线电探空仪测量。他们还将了解格陵兰天气和气候测量的历史，并有机会与格陵兰的教师和大学生分享文化。研讨会将在格陵兰岛的Kangerlussuaq举行，可能包括在Summit Station（11，000英尺）进行培训。格陵兰冰盖。参加研讨会的申请将于2019年初提供。研讨会与会者的选择将由来自五个不同机构的教师委员会作出，包括密歇根大学，弗吉尼亚理工大学，汉普顿大学，宾夕法尼亚州立大学学院公园和奥尔巴尼大学。参加研讨会的学生将受益于本科生的特殊体验式学习机会。该小组将包括来自格陵兰的学生和教师，为国际合作提供机会。该研讨会有助于NSF的战略目标2.2“STEM劳动力：促进更有能力和多样化的研究队伍的发展，并提高国家的科学和创新技能。（NSF 2018-2022财年战略计划）该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。

Faculty from five different institutions will organize and manage a workshop for undergraduates that will provide an opportunity to learn how to conduct meteorological research in Greenland. Students who participate in this experience will learn how to make measurements of energy fluxes and upper air radiosonde measurements at or near the Greenland ice sheet. They will also learn about the history of weather and climate measurements in Greenland and get the opportunity to share cultures with faculty and college students from Greenland. The workshop will be held in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland and potentially include training at Summit Station, high (11,000 ft.) on the Greenland Ice Sheet.Applications for participation in the workshop will be available in early 2019. Selection of the workshop attendees will be made by a committee of faculty from five different institutions, including the University of Michigan, Virginia Tech University, Hampton University, Pennsylvania State University College Park and the University of Albany. Students who attend the workshop will benefit from an exceptional experiential learning opportunity for undergraduates. The group will include students and faculty from Greenland, providing an opportunity for international collaborations. The workshop contributes to NSF's Strategic Objective 2.2 "STEM Workforce: Foster the growth of a more capable and diverse research workforce and advance the scientific and innovation skills of the Nation." (NSF Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2018-2022)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.
