该奖项为冰钻项目办公室（IDPO）和冰钻设计和操作（IDDO）小组提供支持，以在冰钻研究和开发方面提供社区领导。其目标是加强与冰取芯和钻探科学技术有关的沟通和信息交流，并与科学和工程界合作开展活动，以促进对社会重要的气候和环境科学的新发现。通过与IDDO和科学界的合作，将确定新技术需求，制定获得这项技术的计划，并将现有的钻机提供给科学家，以支持他们的研究，以及（在需要时）具有操作钻机专业知识的钻井人员。这个项目的智力价值与极地冰盖上的冰芯和钻孔的重要性有关，它们导致了许多重要的发现，并彻底改变了气候科学。这些发现也对政策产生了重要影响，因此也具有社会意义。美国在这一领域继续保持科学领导地位，关键不仅取决于对从事这项研究的科学家的支持，还取决于对工程界技术开发活动的持续支持。通过国际冰芯科学伙伴关系（IPICS）在冰芯和钻井方面的国际协作与合作对于保持钻井专业知识和钻井技术创新的发展也至关重要。这项工作的更广泛影响包括有效规划、协调和执行科学界定义的冰钻项目的重要性，以实现长期的科学目标。这些项目将包括各种各样的学生和其他人员，他们将继续从事科学、工程和技术方面的职业，并将以各种方式为具有社会相关性的发现做出贡献。IDPO的教育和推广项目将通过与美国气象学会建立伙伴关系来促进多样性，这将使少数族裔机构和社区学院的教师网络接触到冰取芯和钻探科学与工程领域。作为该项目的一部分，教师将获得他们所需的工具，为学生提供前沿课程，并深入了解科学和工程领域的鼓舞人心的职业。IDPO的外联工作将通过继续支持极地早期职业科学家协会（APECS）的活动和项目来维持科学家和工程师的管道，并将通过在主流媒体和电视节目中推广对科学界成员的采访，通过人性化的气候科学面孔来提高公众素养。该奖项将在格陵兰岛和南极洲进行实地考察。

Albert/1327315This award provides support to the Ice Drilling Program Office (IDPO) and Ice Drilling Design and Operations (IDDO) group to provide community leadership in ice drilling research and development. The goal is to enhance communication and information exchange related to ice coring and drilling science and technology and to establish activities in collaboration with the science and engineering community that will contribute to new discoveries in climate and environmental science that are important to society. Through collaboration with the IDDO and the science community, new technology needs will be identified, plans will be developed to acquire this technology and the existing drills that are available will be provided to scientists to support their research, along with drillers (when needed) who have the expertise to operate the drills. The intellectual merit of this project relates to the importance of ice cores and boreholes through the polar ice sheets that have led to many important discoveries and have revolutionized climate science. These discoveries have also had important impacts on policy and thus also have societal relevance. Continued U.S. scientific leadership in this area depends critically not only on the support of scientists doing this research but also on the continued support to the engineering community for technology development activities. International collaboration and cooperation in ice coring and drilling through the International Partnerships in Ice Core Sciences (IPICS) is also critical for sustaining drilling expertise and development of innovations in drilling technology. The broader impacts of this effort include the importance of the effective planning, coordination , and execution of ice drilling projects defined by the science community to meet long-range science goals. These programs will include a diverse range of students and other personnel who will go on to careers in science, engineering, and technology and who will contribute in various ways to discoveries with societal relevance. The education and outreach programs of IDPO will foster diversity through a partnership with the American Meteorological Society that will expose a network of faculty from minority institutions and community colleges to the field of ice coring and drilling science and engineering. As part of this program the faculty will be given the tools they need to provide their students with cutting-edge lessons and insight into inspiring careers in science and engineering. IDPO outreach efforts will sustain the pipeline of scientists and engineers by continuing to support activities and programs of the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) and will advance public literacy by humanizing the face of climate science by promoting interviews of science community members on mainstream media and television shows. This award will have field work in both Greenland and Antarctica.
