Rapid Access Ice Drill (RAID) Science Workshop

标题：快速接近冰钻(RAID)科学工作坊非技术概述本工作坊将支持地质、冰川和地球科学界成员进行为期两天的研讨会，以制定快速进入冰钻(RAID)平台的长期科学部署计划，并创建定义科学界的规划文件？S预计该设施将投入使用。讲习班将包括来自南极共同体内外许多不同科学领域的研究人员，从而确保广泛参与。研讨会将包括职业生涯早期的研究人员和代表性不足的群体的成员。快速接入冰钻(RAID)的设计目的是快速穿透南极冰盖，以便建立钻孔观测站，并在深冰、冰床和下面的基岩中获取岩心。快速通道冰钻是一种安装在雪橇上的移动钻探系统，它将在南极洲的冰盖上钻出多个又长又窄(直径3.5英寸)的钻孔。快速进入冰钻(RAD)支持的研究将包括1)更好地了解地球系统内部的气候反馈，正是这种反馈推动了冰河时代从41 KYR周期转变为今天所见的110 KYR周期，2)通过获得的热流和床料特性信息对未来海平面上升的限制，3)创建一种新的跨学科风格的南极“冰下系统科学”，促进跨学科的协同作用，4)通过发现基本上未知的冰盖内部的兴奋而吸引年轻的极地科学研究人员。突袭科学规划研讨会将提供一个场所，以：1)将不同的科学家聚集在一起探索科学问题和方法；2)确定演习要解决的科学目标；3)寻求对快速访问感兴趣的不同学科之间的协同作用；4)为演习的使用制定连贯的科学计划；5)确定科学目标之间的优先事项；以及6)聘用职业早期和代表性不足的研究人员。讲习班将为一次为期两天的会议提供支持，共有约60名南极冰川和冰下科学界成员参加。NSF提供的支持将包括20名美国关键参与者的部分旅费和12名职业生涯早期研究人员的全部旅费。

Title: Rapid Access Ice Drill (RAID) Science WorkshopNon-technical SummaryThis workshop will support members of the Geological, Glaciological, and Earth Science communities for a two-day workshop in order to develop a long-term plan for science deployment of the Rapid Access Ice Drill (RAID) platform and create a planning document that defines the science community?s anticipated use of the facility. The workshop will ensure broad participation by including researchers from many different scientific fields both within and outside of the Antarctic community. The workshop will Include early-career researchers and members of underrepresented groups. Technical DescriptionThe Rapid Access Ice Drill (RAID) was designed to quickly penetrate Antarctic ice sheets in order to create borehole observatories and take cores in deep ice, the glacial bed, and bedrock below. The Rapid Access Ice Drill is a sled-mounted mobile drilling system that will make multiple long, narrow (3.5 inch diameter) boreholes in ice sheets of Antarctica. The Rapid Access Ice Drill (RAID) enabled research will include 1) a better understanding of the climate feedbacks internal to the Earth System that drove ice ages to switch from a 41-kyr periodicity to the irregular 110-kyr periodicity seen today, 2) constraints on future sea level rise from the heat flow and bed material property information obtained, 3) creation of a new interdisciplinary style of Antarctic "Subglacial System Science" that fosters across-discipline synergies, and 4) entrainment of young researchers in polar science via the excitement of discovery of the largely unknown ice sheet interior. The RAID Science Planning Workshop will provide a venue to: 1) bring diverse scientists together to explore science questions and approaches; 2) define science goals to be addressed by the drill; 3) seek synergies between different disciplines interested in the Rapid Access; 4) develop a coherent science plan for the use of the drill; 5) set priorities between the science targets; and 6) engage early-career and underrepresented researchers. The workshop will provide support for a two-day conference with a total attendance of about 60 members of the Antarctic glacial- and subglacial-science communities. The support provided by NSF will cover partial travel costs for 20 key US participants and full travel costs for 12 early-career researchers.
