Most of Greenland is covered by the expansive Greenland Ice Sheet, which, if it all melted, would cause sea level to rise by more than 20 feet. Greenland has been losing ice at a particularly rapid rate since the mid-1990s, with impacts for local and global fisheries. This AccelNet project (GRISONET) is designed to facilitate rapid and effective collaboration-building and foster discovery about the Greenland ice sheet, the ocean, the marine ecosystems and their interactions. GRISONET will address current knowledge gaps and community-identified needs by establishing international and interdisciplinary collaborations to assess, plan for, and accelerate ice-ocean-ecosystem research. The network of networks will develop strategies for the sharing of knowledge, data and syntheses, which will improve projections of future changes in Greenland and of their impact on global societies.GRISONET will advance understanding of the role that ice sheet/ocean exchanges of heat and freshwater play in driving ice loss and in routing the meltwater away from the ice sheet. The network of networks engages oceanographers, glaciologists, atmospheric and climate scientists, marine ecosystem and fisheries experts to tackle the community-identified needs. GRISONET objectives include the establishment of a publicly-accessible database of existing ice/ocean data, protocols for the shared collection of future measurements, improved representation of ice/ocean exchanges in models, and a collaborative network structure that can be sustained. Activities will leverage resources from different networks within the US (e.g. US Arctic Observing Network, Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee), international programs (International Ice Patrol, Ice Sheet Modeling Intercomparison Project, International Arctic Science Committee) and facilities of partners from Europe, Canada and Japan. Through working groups, international workshops, yearly summer schools for junior scientists, scholarly exchanges and professional training, GRISONET will prepare over 40 junior US scientists in science collaboration and the relevant cross-disciplinary science. The Accelerating Research through International Network-to-Network Collaborations (AccelNet) program is designed to accelerate the process of scientific discovery and prepare the next generation of U.S. researchers for multiteam international collaborations. The AccelNet program supports strategic linkages among U.S. research networks and complementary networks abroad that will leverage research and educational resources to tackle grand scientific challenges that require significant coordinated international efforts. Co-funding for this award is being provided by Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) program one of NSF's 10 Big Ideas. NNA supports projects that address convergence scientific challenges in the rapidly changing Arctic, empower new research partnerships, diversify the next generation of Arctic researchers, enhance efforts in formal and informal education, and integrate the co-production of knowledge where appropriate. This award aligns with those goals.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.

格陵兰岛的大部分地区都被广阔的格陵兰冰盖所覆盖，如果全部融化，海平面将上升20英尺以上。自20世纪90年代中期以来，格陵兰岛的冰损失速度特别快，对当地和全球渔业产生了影响。 这一信息网项目（GRISONET）旨在促进迅速和有效的合作建设，并促进对格陵兰冰盖、海洋、海洋生态系统及其相互作用的发现。 GRISONET将通过建立国际和跨学科合作来评估、规划和加速冰-海洋-生态系统研究，以解决当前的知识差距和社区确定的需求。 这个网络的网络将制订分享知识、数据和综合资料的战略，这将改进对格陵兰未来变化及其对全球社会影响的预测，GRISONET将促进了解冰盖/海洋热量和淡水交换在促使冰的流失和使融水离开冰盖方面所起的作用。 该网络的网络使海洋学家、冰川学家、大气和气候科学家、海洋生态系统和渔业专家参与解决社区确定的需求。GRISONET的目标包括建立一个公众可访问的现有冰/海洋数据数据库，共享收集未来测量数据的协议，改进模型中冰/海洋交换的表示，以及可持续的协作网络结构。 这些活动将利用美国不同网络（如美国北极观测网络、北极研究政策委员会机构间委员会）、国际项目（国际冰巡逻、冰盖建模相互比较项目、国际北极科学委员会）以及欧洲、加拿大和日本合作伙伴设施的资源。 通过工作组、国际研讨会、每年的青年科学家暑期学校、学术交流和专业培训，GRISONET将为40多名美国青年科学家提供科学合作和相关跨学科科学方面的培训。通过国际网络对网络合作加速研究（CNONet）计划旨在加速科学发现的过程，并为下一代美国研究人员进行多团队国际合作做好准备。 该计划支持美国研究网络和海外互补网络之间的战略联系，这些网络将利用研究和教育资源来应对需要重大协调国际努力的重大科学挑战。该奖项的共同资助由NSF十大创意之一的新北极导航（NNA）计划提供。NNA支持应对快速变化的北极地区科学挑战的项目，增强新的研究伙伴关系，使下一代北极研究人员多样化，加强正规和非正规教育的努力，并酌情整合知识的共同生产。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。
