This is a workshop to re-examine the Grand Challenges in the field of geodesy. The workshop will convene at least40 experts in the field to revisit the state of the field and its future directions. The previous Grand Challenges document included sections on public benefit and workforce development that will be revised and expanded in this workshop and new document. The public benefits from research in geodesy are continuing to grow, and now include many applications of real-time geodetic data that were nascent a decade ago. At the same time, awareness of the scientific and broader contributions of geodetic research is relatively low, both in the scientific community and beyond. With the open availability of newer and upcoming SAR satellites global terrestrial high-resolution geodesy is becoming a reality, allowing for yet unfathomed outreach opportunities and tools for hazard mitigation.The broader impacts of this workshop include support for early-career researchers to have input into the strategic direction of their field and impacts to resources monitoring and hazards.This workshop will highlight the state of the art and new opportunities in geodesy. The project will result in a revised grand challenges document for consideration by the upcoming National Academies study, Catalyzing Opportunities for Research in the Earth Sciences (CORES): A Decadal Survey for NSF's Division of Earth Sciences. White papers from the broader community will be solicited for consideration, further broadening the range of researchers who will impact the report.The goal of the workshop is to assess progress in geodesy over the last several years, considering both areas of significant recent progress and areas of substantial new opportunity. For example, the use of campaign and continuous GPS instruments for tectonic kinematics relies on well-established methods and has produced critical scientific contributions over the past three decades, such that these data are essentially fully incorporated into models of tectonic motions. In contrast, the use of repeat LiDAR and RADAR images for capturing mm-scale surface processes is only just emerging as a useful scientific technology. Many different geodetic approaches and methods fall between these examples, and a comprehensive assessment of gains made and opportunities arising will help to guide scientific investments in the coming decade. The resulting document will also serve as a general useful reference for the field.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.

这是一个重新审视大地测量学领域重大挑战的研讨会。该研讨会将召集至少 40 名该领域的专家，重新审视该领域的现状及其未来方向。之前的重大挑战文件包括有关公共利益和劳动力发展的部分，这些部分将在本次研讨会和新文件中进行修订和扩展。大地测量研究给公众带来的好处正在持续增长，现在包括十年前刚刚兴起的实时大地测量数据的许多应用。与此同时，无论是在科学界还是其他领域，人们对大地测量研究的科学性和更广泛贡献的认识都相对较低。随着更新的和即将推出的 SAR 卫星的公开可用，全球陆地高分辨率大地测量正在成为现实，为减轻灾害提供了前所未有的外展机会和工具。本次研讨会的更广泛影响包括支持早期职业研究人员对他们领域的战略方向以及对资源监测和危害的影响。本次研讨会将重点介绍大地测量学的最新技术和新机遇。该项目将产生一份修订后的重大挑战文件，供即将进行的美国国家科学院研究《催化地球科学研究机会（CORES）：美国国家科学基金会地球科学部十年调查》考虑。将征求更广泛的社区的白皮书供考虑，进一步扩大将影响该报告的研究人员的范围。研讨会的目标是评估过去几年大地测量学的进展，同时考虑最近取得重大进展的领域和领域的重大新机遇。例如，在构造运动学中使用活动和连续 GPS 仪器依赖于完善的方法，并在过去三十年中做出了重要的科学贡献，因此这些数据基本上完全纳入了构造运动模型中。相比之下，使用重复激光雷达和雷达图像来捕获毫米级表面过程才刚刚成为一种有用的科学技术。这些例子之间有许多不同的大地测量方法和方法，对所取得的成果和出现的机会进行全面评估将有助于指导未来十年的科学投资。由此产生的文件也将作为该领域的一般有用参考。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
