Workshop on Technical Specifications for Next Generation Polar Seismic/GPS Instrumentation

该奖项支持一个研讨会，以确定下一代地震和GPS站极地部署的技术规范。这类仪器是解决有关南极冰盖和大陆结构和演化的基础科学问题所必需的。讲习班的目标是：1)允许在偏远极地地区的空间站运行多年，而无需降落飞机和为空间站提供服务；2)收集对实现社区确定的科学目标至关重要的数据集。可用于多传感器配置的电力/通信系统(即地震、全球定位系统、天气传感器)将是一个关键的重点领域，但也将讨论地震仪和全球定位系统接收器的技术规格。就更广泛的影响而言，这次研讨会将促进合作，并为极地研究的新基础设施确定发展道路。

This award supports a workshop to define technical specifications for polar deployment of the next generation of seismic and GPS stations. Such instrumentation is required to address fundamental science questions about the structure and evolution of the Antarctic ice sheets and continent. The workshop's objectives are to: 1) allow station operation in remote polar regions for periods of years without the need to land aircraft and service the stations, and 2) collect data sets vital to achieving community-identified science goals. Power/communication systems that can be used in a multi-sensor configuration (i.e., seismic, GPS, weather sensors) will be a key focus area, but technical specifications for seismometers and GPS receivers will also be addressed.In terms of broader impacts, this workshop will promote collaboration and define a development path for new infrastructure for polar research.
