Conference: An International Workshop on the Future of Geodetic-geophysical Observational Networks in Antarctica

该项目将支助南极大地测量和地球物理观测网络规划会议及相关研究。会议将于2022年9月下旬在科罗拉多的柯林斯堡举行。预计会议将吸引来自美国和国际研究界的研究人员;该项目将为与会的美国科学家提供支持。为了扩大在该领域的参与，该项目将重点支持早期职业研究人员和尚未参加南极实地工作的研究人员。会议结束后将编写一份白色文件，其中概述会议的情况，会议题为“关于南极大地测量-地球物理观测网络的未来的国际讲习班”，有五个主要目标：（1）审查现有观测网络的现状和最近的成果;（2）查明现有网络在空间和时间上的缺点;（3）审查现有观测网络在空间和时间上的缺点;（4）审查现有观测网络在空间和时间上的缺点。3）为未来的国家和国际项目构建利用物流的想法; 4）设想新的方向，以提高网络的可靠性和持续时间;以及5）制定战略，以吸引和促进下一代极地地球科学家，重点是多样性。会议由南极研究科学委员会小组委员会的成员组织。这种联系确保会议达到国际目标，包括改善观察员和建模者之间的合作，以及改善在南极进行实地大地测量和地球物理测量的科学家之间的合作。本次会议将与2022年9月26日至29日在科罗拉多埃斯蒂斯公园举行的西南极冰盖研讨会协调，最大限度地减少了一些与会者的旅行。该奖项反映了NSF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 project will support a planning conference for Antarctic geodetic and geophysical observational networks and the associated research. The conference will be held in Fort Collins, Colorado, in late September 2022. The conference is expected to draw researchers from both the US and international research communities; this project will provide support to the participating US scientists. To broaden participation in the field, this project will focus on supporting early-career researchers and researchers who have not participated in fieldwork in Antarctica as of yet. A white paper will be produced following the conference, which summarizes the proceedings.The conference, entitled “An international workshop on the future of geodetic-geophysical observational networks in Antarctica”, has five principal goals: 1) to review the current status of, and recent results from, the existing observational networks; 2) to identify the spatial and temporal shortcomings of the existing networks; 3) to construct ideas for leveraging logistics for future national and international projects; 4) to envision new directions to improve the reliability and duration of the networks; and 5) to form strategies to attract and promote a future generation of polar geoscientists with a focus on diversity. The conference is organized by members of a subcommittee of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research. This linkage ensures that the conference meets international objectives, including improving the cooperation between observers and modelers and improving the cooperation between scientists making in-situ geodetic and geophysical measurements in Antarctica. The conference is coordinated with the West Antarctic Ice Sheet Workshop, to be held in Estes Park, Colorado, 26 – 29 September 2022, minimizing travel for some participants.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.
