Summit Station in Greenland has been the research location for many National Science Foundation Office of Polar Programs (NSF-OPP) activities for over twenty years. The value of the facility is based on its location, well above the Arctic circle, high enough in elevation to be in the free troposphere, not influenced by human settlements or the moderating effects of the ocean, and the site of the Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) deep ice core. Summit Station (72oN, 38oW, 3250 m.a.s.l.) hosts the Greenland Environmental Observatory (GEOSummit), the only NSF site with permission from the Government of Greenland and the Danish Commission for Scientific Research in Greenland to provide long-term environmental measurements. Summit Station is staffed year-round and fills an important niche in the international scientific community’s global measurement capability. The Science Coordination Office (SCO) for Summit Station represents research interests that utilize the station, providing regular feedback to the managers of the Arctic Research Support and Logistics Program (RSL) and conveying information back to the research community about NSFs plans for the station. The SCO presents the needs and desires of the science community working on the ice sheet in interior Greenland in discussions and decision making process between RSL and their primary logistics support contractor. NSF has stated plans to recapitalize the infrastructure at Summit Station over the next 8 years and the SCO will ensure there is communication with the research community throughout the planning and design process. The SCO concurs with NSF’s goals to make a safe and sustainable Summit Station elevated above the drifting snow and preserving the clean air and clean snow research areas. The GEOSummit website has resources for new Principal Investigators, students and educators. Summit Station, Greeland is the site of decades of study of the past climate through deep ice cores, and studies of atmospheric chemistry, snow processes and, more recently, the study of high-energy neutrinos from the origins of the universe. Through this effort, the SCO will ensure that plans to operate and in coming years to recapitalize the infrastructure at Summit Station will be done with the interests of the research community. The SCO meets weekly with the arctic logistics contractor science support, logistics and operations at Summit Station to remain informed about plans and communicate research interests. The SCO is invited to review documents and provide input on plans for Summit Station. The Radio Neutrino Observatory for Greenland (RNO-G) project has installed 6 detector nodes of a planned 30-node network. SCO will continue to advocate for Summit Station site plans that accommodate an influx of astrophysical research while maintaining long standing focus on climate relevant research which needs clean air and snow conditions. This plan will also welcome and support researchers from a range of other disciplines, and will include opportunities to educate students and new researchers, but must keep everyone from inadvertently interfering with each other. The SCO website is a keystone of communication to the science community, with several features added over the past few years such as the Google Earth based GIS -- recording activity in the region over the past 12 years -- a virtual tour using Streetview images, a new Working at Summit section targeting new investigators, a comprehensive bibliography of published work near Summit, and a quarterly Newsletter.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.

二十多年来，格陵兰岛的峰会站一直是美国国家科学基金会极地项目办公室 (NSF-OPP) 多项活动的研究地点。该设施的价值取决于其位置，远高于北极圈，海拔足够高，位于自由对流层，不受人类住区或海洋调节作用的影响，以及格陵兰冰盖项目 2 (GISP2) 深冰芯的位置。萨米特站（北纬 72 度，西经 38 度，海拔 3250 米）设有格陵兰环境观测站 (GEOSummit)，这是唯一获得格陵兰政府和格陵兰丹麦科学研究委员会许可提供长期环境测量的 NSF 站点。峰会站全年都有工作人员值守，在国际科学界的全球测量能力中占据着重要地位。峰会站的科学协调办公室（SCO）代表利用该站的研究兴趣，向北极研究支持和后勤计划（RSL）的管理者提供定期反馈，并向研究界传达有关国家科学基金会对该站的计划的信息。 SCO 在 RSL 与其主要后勤支持承包商之间的讨论和决策过程中提出了格陵兰内陆冰盖科学界的需求和愿望。 NSF 已表示计划在未来 8 年内对 Summit Station 的基础设施进行资本重组，而 SCO 将确保在整个规划和设计过程中与研究界保持沟通。 SCO 同意 NSF 的目标，即在流雪之上建立一个安全且可持续的峰会站，并保护清洁的空气和清洁的雪研究区域。 GEOSummit 网站为新任首席研究员、学生和教育工作者提供资源。格陵兰峰会站是几十年来通过深层冰芯研究过去气候、大气化学、雪过程以及最近对宇宙起源的高能中微子的研究的场所。通过这一努力，上海合作组织将确保峰会站的运营计划和未来几年的基础设施重组计划将符合研究界的利益。 SCO 每周与北极后勤承包商在峰会站的科学支持、后勤和运营部门举行会议，以随时了解计划并交流研究兴趣。请上合组织审查文件并就峰会站计划提供意见。格陵兰射电中微子观测站 (RNO-G) 项目已在计划的 30 个节点网络中安装了 6 个探测器节点。上合组织将继续倡导峰会站场地规划，以适应天体物理学研究的涌入，同时长期关注需要清洁空气和雪条件的气候相关研究。该计划还将欢迎和支持来自其他一系列学科的研究人员，并将包括教育学生和新研究人员的机会，但必须防止每个人无意中相互干扰。 SCO 网站是与科学界沟通的基石，在过去几年中增加了一些功能，例如基于 Google 地球的 GIS（记录该地区过去 12 年的活动）、使用街景图像的虚拟游览、针对新研究人员的新的 Summit 工作部分、Summit 附近已发表工作的综合参考书目以及季刊通讯。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用 基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
