This project will support participants to attend the International Glaciological Society symposium on Five Decades of Radioglaciology to be held at Stanford University in July 2019. Radio-echo sounding is a powerful geophysical technique for directly characterizing the subsurface conditions of Earth's and planetary ice masses. Over the last five decades, a wide array of orbital, airborne, towed, and in situ instruments, platforms, and data analysis approaches for radar sounding have arisen. Continuing the development of radio-sounding techniques and instruments is paramount to understanding of subsurface conditions and processes that influence Earth's continental ice sheets and other planetary bodies and icy moons. The participant support will focus on early career scientists, particularly participants from groups that are underrepresented in STEM and polar science.The goal of the symposium is to bring together terrestrial and planetary radar scientists, glaciologists, geophysicists, and ice-sheet modelers to discuss advances in (i) radar sounding systems, (ii) mission concepts, (iii) signal processing, (iv) data analysis, (v) modeling, and (vi) scientific interpretation. The symposium seeks to attract radioglaciology experts working in ice-sheet, ice-shelf, mountain glacier, and planetary environments, as well as modelers and other geophysicists who are looking to apply and utilize radio-sounding in their field of study. The symposium will run over five days, with additional short courses to develop related skills and awareness of methods and tools.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.

该项目将支持参与者参加2019年7月在斯坦福大学举行的国际冰川学会放射冰川学五十年研讨会。 无线电回声探测是一种强大的地球物理技术，可直接确定地球和行星冰块的地下状况。在过去的五十年里，出现了一系列广泛的轨道，机载，拖曳和现场仪器，平台和数据分析方法的雷达探测。继续发展无线电探测技术和仪器，对于了解影响地球大陆冰盖和其他行星体及冰冷卫星的地下条件和过程至关重要。 与会者支持将集中在早期职业科学家，特别是来自STEM和极地科学代表性不足的团体的与会者。研讨会的目标是汇集地面和行星雷达科学家，冰川学家，冰川学家和冰盖建模者，讨论（i）雷达探测系统，（ii）使命概念，（iii）信号处理，（iv）数据分析，（v）建模，（六）科学解释。 该研讨会旨在吸引在冰盖，冰架，山地冰川和行星环境中工作的放射性冰川学专家，以及希望在其研究领域应用和利用无线电探测的建模师和其他地球物理学家。 研讨会将持续五天，并提供额外的短期课程，以发展相关的技能和方法和工具的认识。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。
