Collaborative Research: Improving research coordination for Summit Station and the Dry-Snow Zone of Greenland

Summit Station（72N，38W，3250 m.a.s.l.）格陵兰环境观测站是国家科学基金会与国家海洋和大气管理局之间的一项合作，并得到丹麦格陵兰科学研究委员会的许可，以提供长期环境测量。Summit是北极地区唯一一个全年高海拔、自由对流层内陆环境观测站，在国际科学界的全球观测系统中占据了独特的位置。峰会站科学协调办公室是一个咨询机构，为科学界、国家科学基金会的北极研究支持和后勤计划以及北极研究支持后勤服务承包商提供服务，就如何适应或减轻在峰会工作的不同科学团队提出的相互冲突的要求提出建议，并建议项目可能减少其后勤足迹的方法。科学协调办公室还建议国家科学基金会在峰会上进行基于科学的资本投资。科学协调处通过公开交流和鼓励共享资源和关键数据集，努力发展首脑会议用户的真正社区。它还致力于将峰会社区集中在2017年3月峰会站科学峰会与会者确定的变革性问题上，并鼓励社区综合现有数据，以确定解决这些知识差距的创新方法。 科学协调办公室推进发现和理解格陵兰冰盖内部的过程，同时促进教学，培训和学习。全球环境展望首脑会议网站专门针对新的主要调查员的新功能将为感兴趣的学生和公众提供丰富的网络内容。 在未来三年内，将积极寻求与努克新的格陵兰气候研究中心建立联系的机会，并为格陵兰学生和研究人员量身定制网站内容。快速链接到Summit Station内容的能力将使Summit研究人员的外展计划能够增加其影响力。该项目将大力鼓励广泛传播成果，以提高科学和技术认识。将通过继续提供一个资料交换中心来取得首脑会议的数据、广泛的首脑会议书目和详细的规划活动清单来实现这一目标，以避免在首脑会议上重复收集数据。科学协调办公室还将通过主持国际会议和主办以格陵兰为重点的数据研讨会，为更广泛的社区提供更大的知名度。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。

Summit Station (72N, 38W, 3250 m.a.s.l.) hosts the Greenland Environmental Observatory, a cooperation between the National Science Foundation and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration with permission from the Danish Commission for Scientific Research in Greenland to provide long-term environmental measurements. Summit is the only year-round, high-elevation, free-tropospheric, inland environmental observatory in the Arctic, and fills a unique niche in the international scientific community's global observing system. The Summit Station Science Coordination Office is an advisory body that serves the scientific community, the National Science Foundation's Arctic Research Support and Logistics Program and the Arctic Research Support & Logistics Services contractor by making recommendations about ways to accommodate or mitigate conflicting requests from different science teams working at Summit and suggesting ways that projects might reduce their logistical footprint. The Science Coordination Office also suggests science-based priorities for capital investments by the National Science Foundation at Summit. The Science Coordination Office strives to develop a true community of Summit users through open communication and by encouraging shared use of resources and key data sets. It also endeavors to focus the Summit community on the transformative questions identified by the participants at the Summit Station Science Summit in March 2017 and encourages the community to synthesize available data to identify innovative approaches to address these knowledge gaps. The Science Coordination Office advances discovery and understanding of processes acting across the interior of the Greenland Ice Sheet while promoting teaching, training, and learning. New features of the GEO Summit website, aimed specifically at new Principal Investigators, will provide rich web content for interested students and the general public. Over the next three years opportunities to interface with the new Greenland Climate Research Centre in Nuuk and add website content tailored to Greenlandic students and researchers will be actively pursued. The ability to quickly link to content about Summit Station will enable outreach programs by Summit researchers to increase their impact. Much effort in this project will be placed towards encouraging broad dissemination of results to enhance scientific and technical understanding. This will be accomplished by continuing to provide a clearinghouse for accessing Summit data, an extensive Summit bibliography, and a detailed list of planning activities to avoid duplicate collection of data at Summit. The Science Coordination Office will also provide greater visibility to the broader community by chairing sessions at international meetings and hosting data workshops that focus on Greenland.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.
