National Science Foundation (NSF) Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) Workshop Coordination: 2019-2023

本基金用于支持组织2019-2023年NSF地球空间环境建模（GEM）研讨会协调。美国国家科学基金会（NSF） GEM项目是NSF磁层物理项目的基石，该项目支持磁层的物理研究以及磁层与大气和太阳风的耦合。GEM计划的重点是发展全球磁层模型。这一努力的成功取决于开放合作和思想交流以及模式的发展和分享。通过各种数据模型挑战，在开放和建设性的过程中对模型进行比较和验证。实现GEM所需的公开交流与合作的手段主要在于定期的GEM研讨会。该研讨会奖通过为主要研究者（pi）和学生提供展示成果和在互动环境中讨论突出问题的机会来支持该计划的科学。每年有两次GEM研讨会：6月为期一周的GEM夏季研讨会，其中包括一个学生日，以及12月为期一天的迷你GEM研讨会，该研讨会在美国地球物理联盟秋季会议之前的周日举行。该奖项为大约75名学生参加暑期研讨会提供协调支持和旅行支持。磁层物理的基础研究是国家空间天气行动计划和相关工作的关键组成部分。磁层是保护地球免受太阳辐射的动态力场。空间天气对地球的影响发生在磁层中并通过磁层传播。撞击的严重程度取决于撞击时磁层的状况。磁层的科学建模对于建立能够过渡到操作相关模型的工具至关重要。GEM工作坊的另一个非常重要的组成部分是强烈的以学生为导向的教育元素。该奖学金主要用于支持学生参加创业板暑期工作坊。大多数学生支持是针对研究生的，但也可能是针对非常有才华的本科生（就读于美国大学）。在很大程度上，GEM讲习班的作用是指导学生，促进科学界从学生到研究人员的转变。学生有机会充分参与焦点小组会议，并在海报会议上展示他们的研究成果，以便与更广泛的磁层社区进行详细的讨论和互动。创业板的学生组织已经正式成立，有学生领袖和学生会议，包括辅导讲座。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This grant is to support the organization of the NSF Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) Workshop Coordination for 2019-2023. The National Science Foundation (NSF) GEM program is a cornerstone of NSF's Magnetospheric Physics Program which supports the study of the physics of the magnetosphere and the coupling of the magnetosphere to the atmosphere and to the solar wind. The GEM program focuses on the development of global magnetospheric models. The success of this effort depends on open cooperation and exchange of ideas and the development and sharing of models. Through various data-model challenges, models are compared and validated in an open and constructive process. The means of achieving the open communication and cooperation required for GEM lies largely in the regular GEM workshops. This workshop award supports the science of the program by providing an opportunity for Principal Investigators (PIs) and students present results and discuss outstanding issues in an interactive setting. There are two GEM workshops each year: the week-long GEM Summer workshop in June which includes a student day and the one-day Mini-GEM workshop in December which is held the Sunday before the American Geophysical Union's Fall meeting. This award provides coordination support for both GEM workshops and travel support for approximately 75 students to attend the Summer workshop. Basic research in magnetospheric physics is a critical component of the National Space Weather Action Plan and associated efforts. The magnetosphere is the dynamic force field protecting Earth from Solar radiation. Space Weather impacts on Earth occur in and propagate through the magnetosphere. The severity of the impacts depends on the condition of the magnetosphere at the time of impact. Scientific modeling of the magnetosphere is critical for building the tools that can transition to operationally relevant models. Another very important component of the GEM workshops is a strong student-oriented educational element. The majority of this award is for support of student participation in the GEM Summer workshops. Most of the student support is directed toward graduate students but may also toward very talented undergraduate students (attending a U.S. university). In large part, the GEM workshops act to mentor the students and facilitate the transition from student to researcher in the science community. Students have the opportunity to participate fully in the focus group sessions and to present their research in poster sessions that enable detailed discussion and interaction with the broader magnetospheric community. The GEM student organization has been formalized with student leaders and a student-only meeting including tutorial lectures.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.
