Conference: GEOSCOPR Workshop - Geospace Exploration and Observation with Scientific COllaboration in Polar Regions, towards IPY 2032

该奖项支持一个关于地球空间探索和观测与极地地区科学合作的社区研讨会，该研讨会将为社区参与拟议的2032年国际极地年研究计划做准备。讲习班的主要主题是探讨地球空间科学在北极和南极区域的现状和前景，将这些地理区域用于具体的航空和地球空间研究项目。作为观测平台，极地地区的价值对这些领域未来的进展至关重要。虽然将充分讨论太阳风-磁层耦合的基本问题，但讲习班将特别侧重于在空间气象研究领域取得进展，并举行与太阳强迫气候变化有关的讨论。广阔的南极大陆为北半球提供了一些由于北冰洋的存在而无法到达的地球空间区域。本次研讨会将重点讨论以下四个总体目标：(1)确定每个国家的极地计划(IPY-2032年)和各自的SCAR活动中的高水平地球空间/空间气象研究目标；(2)通过了解每个国家的极地计划(飞行、穿越、船只、新的深场仪器、观测基础设施等)的近期计划，解决现有科学资源和各自后勤的协调问题；(3)确定共同感兴趣的领域和新的国际合作；以及(4)在每个极地计划中倡导极地测量，并制定各自的研究计划/活动，跨越多个国家/计划。此次研讨会的广泛影响为美国科学家参与极地观测系统提供了更好的视角，促进了国际合作，并为下一代地球航天科学家提供了与该领域领导人互动的机会。研讨会将提供一个论坛，为空间气象研究和空间气候理解方面的统一科学事业制定蓝图。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports a community workshop on the Geospace Exploration and Observation with Scientific Collaboration in Polar Regions, which will be preparing the community to participate in the proposed International Polar Year 2032 research program. The overarching theme of the workshop is to address the status and prospects of Geospace sciences in both the Arctic and Antarctic regions by using these geographical areas for specific aeronomy and geospace research projects. As observing platforms, the value of polar regions is critical to future progress in these fields. While fundamental aspects of the solar wind-magnetosphere coupling will be fully addressed, the workshop will focus specifically on making progress in the field of space weather research and hold discussions related to the solar forcing on climate change. The expanse of the Antarctic continent provides access to some geospace regions that cannot be reached in the Northern Hemisphere because of the Arctic Ocean presence.This workshop will focus on the following four overarching (and international by nature) goals: (1) Identify high level geospace/space weather research objectives in each country’s polar program towards IPY-2032 and respective SCAR activities; (2) Address coordination issues for available scientific resources and respective logistics by learning what near-term plans are for each country’s polar program (flights, traverses, ships, new deep-field instruments, observing infrastructure, etc.); (3) Define the areas of mutual interest and new international collaborations; and (4) Advocate for polar measurements in each polar program and develop respective research programs/campaigns that span multiple countries/programs.The broader impacts of this workshop provide better perspectives for the U.S. scientists to participate in the polar observing systems, promote international collaboration, and provide an opportunity for the next generation of geospace scientists to interact with leaders in the field. The workshop will provide a forum to develop a blueprint for a unified scientific enterprise in space weather research and space climate understanding.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.
