Antarctic Geographic Information Systems Workshop

9419527沃顿商学院该奖项支持一个名为南极地理信息系统的研讨会。 研讨会的目的是汇集地理信息系统（GIS）专家和对空间分析感兴趣的活跃的南极研究人员，以评估对美国南极计划（USAP）GIS的需求，并讨论如何开发这样一个系统。 举办这次讲习班的动力有两个方面：1）南极研究人员的空间分析需求正在迅速增长; 2）USAP需要客观的投入，以便优先考虑与USAP地理信息系统的潜在开发有关的研究支持决定。 为期三天的研讨会将由美国地质调查局在弗吉尼亚州雷斯顿主办，并将邀请。 组织委员会代表了南极研究界的一个很好的横截面，所有成员都熟悉地理信息系统，但不是专家。 受邀参加者将包括来自大学、政府机构和私营部门的GIS专家，以及活跃的USAP研究人员。 将编写一份讲习班报告，概述讲习班的成果。

9419527 Wharton This award supports a workshop entitled Antarctic Geographic Information Systems. The goal of the workshop is to bring together experts in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and active Antarctic researchers with an interest in spatial analysis to assess the need for a US Antarctic Program (USAP) GIS and to discuss how such a system might be developed. The impetus for holding this workshop is two-fold: 1) the spatial analysis requirements of Antarctic researchers are growing rapidly; and 2) the USAP requires objective input in order to prioritize research support decisions relating to the potential development of a USAP GIS. The three day workshop will be hosted by the US Geological Survey in Reston, Virginia, and will be by invitation. The organizing committee represents a good cross-section of the Antarctic research community and all members are familiar with, though not experts on, GIS. Invited participants will include GIS experts from universities, government agencies, and the private sector, as well as active USAP researchers. A workshop report summarizing results from the workshop will be produced.
