Collaborative Research: Improving research coordination for Summit Station and the Dry-Snow Zone of Greenland

顶峰站(北纬72度，西经38度，海拔3250英里)主办格陵兰环境观测站，这是国家科学基金会和国家海洋和大气管理局之间的合作项目，经丹麦格陵兰科学研究委员会许可，提供长期环境测量。顶峰是北极唯一的全年、高海拔、自由对流层的内陆环境观测站，在国际科学界的全球观测系统中占有独特的一席之地。顶峰科学协调办公室是一个咨询机构，为科学界、国家科学基金会的北极研究支持和物流计划以及北极研究支持和后勤服务承包商提供服务，就如何适应或缓解在顶峰工作的不同科学团队相互冲突的要求提出建议，并就项目可能减少后勤足迹的方法提出建议。科学协调办公室还建议国家科学基金会在峰会上优先考虑以科学为基础的资本投资。科学协调办公室努力通过公开交流和鼓励共享使用资源和关键数据集，建立一个真正的首脑会议用户社区。它还努力使首脑会议社区关注2017年3月首脑会议科学峰会与会者确定的变革性问题，并鼓励社区综合现有数据，以确定填补这些知识差距的创新方法。科学协调办公室在促进教学、培训和学习的同时，促进了对整个格陵兰冰盖内部作用过程的发现和理解。专门针对新的首席调查员的土力工程处高峰网站的新功能将为感兴趣的学生和公众提供丰富的网络内容。在今后三年中，将积极争取与努克新成立的格陵兰气候研究中心建立联系，并增加为格陵兰学生和研究人员量身定制的网站内容的机会。能够快速链接到有关峰会站的内容，将使峰会研究人员的外联计划能够增加其影响力。该项目将作出大量努力，鼓励广泛传播成果，以增进对科学和技术的了解。这将通过继续提供获取首脑会议数据的信息交换中心、广泛的首脑会议参考书目和详细的规划活动清单来实现，以避免首脑会议重复收集数据。科学协调办公室还将通过主持国际会议和举办以格陵兰为重点的数据研讨会，向更广泛的社区提供更大的可见度。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。

Summit Station (72N, 38W, 3250 m.a.s.l.) hosts the Greenland Environmental Observatory, a cooperation between the National Science Foundation and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration with permission from the Danish Commission for Scientific Research in Greenland to provide long-term environmental measurements. Summit is the only year-round, high-elevation, free-tropospheric, inland environmental observatory in the Arctic, and fills a unique niche in the international scientific community's global observing system. The Summit Station Science Coordination Office is an advisory body that serves the scientific community, the National Science Foundation's Arctic Research Support and Logistics Program and the Arctic Research Support & Logistics Services contractor by making recommendations about ways to accommodate or mitigate conflicting requests from different science teams working at Summit and suggesting ways that projects might reduce their logistical footprint. The Science Coordination Office also suggests science-based priorities for capital investments by the National Science Foundation at Summit. The Science Coordination Office strives to develop a true community of Summit users through open communication and by encouraging shared use of resources and key data sets. It also endeavors to focus the Summit community on the transformative questions identified by the participants at the Summit Station Science Summit in March 2017 and encourages the community to synthesize available data to identify innovative approaches to address these knowledge gaps. The Science Coordination Office advances discovery and understanding of processes acting across the interior of the Greenland Ice Sheet while promoting teaching, training, and learning. New features of the GEO Summit website, aimed specifically at new Principal Investigators, will provide rich web content for interested students and the general public. Over the next three years opportunities to interface with the new Greenland Climate Research Centre in Nuuk and add website content tailored to Greenlandic students and researchers will be actively pursued. The ability to quickly link to content about Summit Station will enable outreach programs by Summit researchers to increase their impact. Much effort in this project will be placed towards encouraging broad dissemination of results to enhance scientific and technical understanding. This will be accomplished by continuing to provide a clearinghouse for accessing Summit data, an extensive Summit bibliography, and a detailed list of planning activities to avoid duplicate collection of data at Summit. The Science Coordination Office will also provide greater visibility to the broader community by chairing sessions at international meetings and hosting data workshops that focus on Greenland.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.
