Cartographic and Geographic Information Science (GIScience) Conference and Early-Career Scholar Development

该奖项通过参与国际制图协会，支持早期职业学者发展制图和地理信息科学（GIScience）的研究和专业网络。该项目的目标是目前正在完成研究生学位或处于学术或职业生涯前五年的早期职业学者的专业发展。制图学正在迅速发展，众包数据的可用性提供了新的研究机会。鉴于地图以不同形式的媒体呈现的普遍性，在地图设计和地图质量这一一般性专题方面也存在重要的研究挑战。随着用于实时导航的移动的设备的广泛使用，地理路由受到了新的关注。国际制图协会通过合作机会和传播制图研究，同时支持下一代制图师和空间科学家，推动这些研究领域的发展。国际制图协会（伊卡）推动制图、数据科学和地理信息科学前沿的研究和学术研究。特别是，伊卡推进了以下研究：地图学在数据科学和公民科学中的作用;地图在移动研究和自动驾驶中的作用;地图学和认知科学交叉点的研究;以及地图在保护世界文化遗产中的作用。制定新的研究议程，以应对主要社会挑战的科学进步;通过讲习班，研讨会和同行评审的出版物传播制图和地理信息科学的新研究。伊卡还通过会前讲习班、指导和学术交流开展有价值的培训。从不同学科基金会的角度为从事制图研究的早期职业学者创造了新的合作机会，促进了制图学的新变革和跨学科研究。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智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

This award supports early career scholars in developing research and professional networks in cartography and geographic information science (GIScience) through participation with the International Cartographic Association. This project targets the professional development of early career scholars who are currently completing a graduate degree or are in the first five years of their academic or professional career. Cartography is advancing quickly with new research opportunities afforded by the availability of crowdsourced data. There are also important research challenges related to the general topic of map design and map quality given the prevalence of cartographic representation in different forms of media. There is a newfound attention on geographic routing with the widespread use of mobile devices for real-time navigation. The International Cartographic Association advances these research arenas through collaborative opportunities and dissemination of cartographic research while supporting of the next generation of cartographers and spatial scientists.The International Cartographic Association (ICA) advances research and scholarship at the forefront of cartography, data science and Geographic Information Science. In particular, the ICA advances research that addresses the role of cartography in data science and citizen science; the role of map in mobility research and autonomous driving; research at the intersection of cartography and cognitive science; and the role that maps play in preserving the world’s cultural heritage. New research agendas are developed to scientific advances that tackle key societal challenges; disseminate new research in cartography and GIScience through workshops, seminars, and peer-reviewed publications. The ICA also develops valuable training through pre-conference workshops, mentorship and scholarly exchange. Opportunities for new collaboration are created for early career scholars working on cartographic research from the perspective of disparate disciplinary foundations fostering new transformative and transdisciplinary research in cartography.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.
