This award will fund the operation of the Centers for Transformative Environmental Monitoring Programs (CTEMPs). The mission of CTEMPs is to accelerate discovery in Earth sciences by making state-of-the-art environmental sensing instruments and technical skills available to the NSF and broader research communities. The CTEMPs’ instruments provide cm-to-km-scale measurements of temperature, acoustics, topography and surface reflectance. The high spatial and temporal resolution observations facilitated by CTEMPs have led to breakthroughs in soil moisture quantification, glacial dynamics, groundwater/surface water interactions, snow hydrology, ocean dynamics, topography, atmospheric mixing, limnology and geomorphology. The Center has a history of helping researchers overcoming barriers to access to technology, training, cost, and expert support in the Earth sciences and engineering communities. CTEMPS is operated as a community user facility by four institutions: University of Nevada, Reno; Oregon State University; Desert Research Institute; and Colorado School of Mines. CTEMPs assists research teams from all over the world in experimental design, field implementation and data analysis in four core instrument services: fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing (DTS), distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), transformational field-based instrumentation via the Openly Published Environmental Sensing (OPEnS Lab), and small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (sUAS). Beginning in 2023, CTEMPs will focus on the following four objectives: 1. Continue to deliver instrumentation and expertise through its DTS, OPEnS Lab and sUAS programs to diverse research projects in Earth, polar, oceanographic and atmospheric sciences, 2. Expand the instrument pool to include instruments and expert support for Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) in the training and instrument loan programs, 3. Act as a coordinator of a federated system of sUAS sensors and platforms to reduce barriers to transformative new Earth surface science, and 4. Provide transdisciplinary workshops that broaden inclusion of early career scientists through hands-on training in multi-sensor observations and experimental design.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.

该奖项将资助变革性环境监测计划中心（CTEMPS）的运营。 CTEMP的使命是通过制造最先进的环境传感工具和技术技能来加速地球科学的发现，并为NSF和更广泛的研究社区提供。 CTEMP的仪器提供了cm至公斤的尺度测量温度，声学，地形和表面反射率。 CTEMP制备的高空间和临时分辨率观察导致土壤水分定量，冰川动力学，地下水/地表水相互作用，雪水文，海洋动力学，地形，大气混合，林格学和地貌学的突破。该中心有帮助研究人员克服地球科学和工程社区获得技术，培训，成本和专家支持的障碍的历史。 CTEMP由四个机构作为社区用户设施运营：内华达大学，里诺；俄勒冈州立大学；沙漠研究所；和科罗拉多州矿业学校。 CTEMP在四种核心仪器服务中提供了来自世界各地的研究团队：通过开放的环境传感（OPENS LAB）和小型未蛋式的飞机系统（SUAS）（SUAS），通过四种核心仪器服务：光纤分布温度传感（DTS），分布式声音传感（DAS），基于野外的仪器。 Beginning in 2023, CTEMPs will focus on the following four objectives: 1. Continue to deliver instrumentation and expert through its DTS, OPEnS Lab and sUAS programs to divers research projects in Earth, polar, oceanographic and atmospheric sciences, 2.
