This award provides support for the Geographical and Geospatial Sciences Committee (GGSC). The GGSC is a standing committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, a non-governmental institution that provides independent, objective advice to inform policy with evidence, spark progress and innovation, and confront challenging issues for the benefit of society. The GGSC provides an important convening function for discussion and sharing of knowledge among academia, government, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector. The committee’s meetings, workshops, and lectures bring together geographers, spatial data scientists, and practitioners in relevant fields to exchange ideas and knowledge. The GGSC increases the impact of geography, mapping science, and geographic information science within the National Academies and among federal agencies and other organizations.The GGSC supports and informs science-based policy efforts and decision-making on issues important to the geographical and geospatial sciences community, which helps to ensure that these fields remain an important area of growth for the nation. This award allows the GGSC to explore the following themes in its meetings and activities: anticipating and responding to environmental disruptions such as climate change or drought, remote sensing to assist humanitarian response to crises, advancing analysis of mixed quantitative and qualitative data, geographic and geospatial dataset uncertainty and bias, sovereignty and ethics of data collection and use, and mapping the future. These are areas where near-term input and engagement from the geographical and geospatial sciences community are critical and can help the nation with future policy decisions.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.

该奖项为地理和地理空间科学委员会（GGSC）提供支持。GGSC是美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院的常设委员会，是一个非政府机构，提供独立、客观的建议，以证据为政策提供信息，激发进步和创新，并为社会的利益应对挑战性问题。全球知识共享中心为学术界、政府、非政府组织和私营部门之间的讨论和知识共享提供了重要的召集职能。该委员会的会议、研讨会和讲座将地理学家、空间数据科学家和相关领域的从业人员聚集在一起，交流思想和知识。地理科学委员会在国家科学院、联邦机构和其他组织中提高地理、制图科学和地理信息科学的影响力。地理科学委员会支持和通报以科学为基础的政策努力和对地理和地理空间科学界重要问题的决策，这有助于确保这些领域仍然是国家发展的重要领域。该奖项允许GGSC在其会议和活动中探索以下主题：预测和应对气候变化或干旱等环境破坏，遥感协助人道主义应对危机，推进定量和定性混合数据的分析，地理和地理空间数据集的不确定性和偏见，数据收集和使用的主权和道德，以及绘制未来。在这些领域，地理和地理空间科学界的近期投入和参与至关重要，可以帮助国家做出未来的政策决定。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来支持。
