The unique Antarctic environment offers insight into processes and records not seen anywhere else on Earth, and is critical to understanding our planet’s history and future. The remoteness and logistics of Antarctic science brings together researchers from diverse disciplines who otherwise wouldn’t be presented with opportunities for collaboration, and often rarely attend the same academic conferences. The Interdisciplinary Antarctic Earth Science (IAES) conference is a biennial gathering that supports the collaboration of U.S. bio-, cryo-, geo-, and atmospheric science researchers working in the Antarctic. This proposal will support the next two IAES conferences to be held in 2022 and 2024, as well as a paired deep-field camp planning workshop. The IAES conference is important to the mission of the NSF in supporting interdisciplinary collaboration in the Antarctic Earth sciences, but also fulfills recommendations by the National Academy for improving cross-disciplinary awareness, data sharing, and early career researcher mentoring and development. The size and scope of the IAES conference allow it to serve as a hub for novel, interdisciplinary collaboration, as well as help develop the next generation of Antarctic Earth scientists.The goals of the IAES conference are to develop and deepen scientific collaborations across the Antarctic Earth science community, and create a framework for future deep-field, as well as non-field-based research. Across a 2.5 day hybrid conference, the IAES themes will include 1) connecting surficial processes, geology, and the deep earth; 2) landscape, ice sheet, ocean and atmospheric interactions; 3) exploring the hidden continent; and 4) evolution and ecology of ancient and modern organisms, ecosystems, and environments. The conference will share science through presentations of current research and keynote talks, broaden participation through welcoming new researchers from under-represented communities and disciplines, and deepen collaboration through interdisciplinary networking highlighting potential research connections, novel mentorship activities, and promoting data re-use, and application of remote sensing and modeling. Discussions resulting from the IAES conference will be used to develop white papers on future Antarctic collaborative research and deep-field camps based on community-driven research priorities. Community surveys and feedback will be solicited throughout the project to guide the future development of the IAES conference.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.

独特的南极环境为我们提供了了解地球上其他地方所没有的过程和记录的机会，对了解我们星球的历史和未来至关重要。南极科学的偏远和后勤将来自不同学科的研究人员聚集在一起，否则他们就不会有合作的机会，而且往往很少参加相同的学术会议。跨学科南极地球科学（IAES）会议是两年一次的会议，支持在南极工作的美国生物、低温、地球和大气科学研究人员的合作。该提案将支持将于2022年和2024年举行的下两届IAES会议，以及配对的深场营地规划研讨会。IAES会议对美国国家科学基金会支持南极地球科学跨学科合作的使命非常重要，但也履行了美国国家科学院关于提高跨学科意识、数据共享和早期职业研究人员指导和发展的建议。IAES会议的规模和范围使其成为新颖的跨学科合作的中心，并有助于培养下一代南极地球科学家。IAES会议的目标是发展和深化南极地球科学界的科学合作，并为未来的深领域研究和非领域研究创建一个框架。在为期2.5天的混合会议中，IAES的主题将包括：1)连接地表过程、地质学和深部地球；2)景观、冰盖、海洋和大气的相互作用；3)探索隐藏的大陆；4)古今生物、生态系统和环境的进化与生态学。会议将通过当前研究的报告和主题演讲来分享科学，通过欢迎来自代表性不足的社区和学科的新研究人员来扩大参与，并通过跨学科网络加深合作，突出潜在的研究联系，新颖的指导活动，促进数据重用，以及遥感和建模的应用。IAES会议的讨论结果将用于制定基于社区驱动的研究优先事项的未来南极合作研究和深场营地的白皮书。整个项目将征求社区调查和反馈意见，以指导IAES会议的未来发展。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。
