Summit Station in Greenland has been the research location for many National Science Foundation Office of Polar Programs (NSF-OPP) activities for over twenty years. The value of the facility is based on its location, well above the Arctic circle, high enough in elevation to be in the free troposphere, not influenced by human settlements or the moderating effects of the ocean, and the site of the Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) deep ice core. Summit Station (72oN, 38oW, 3250 m.a.s.l.) hosts the Greenland Environmental Observatory (GEOSummit), the only NSF site with permission from the Government of Greenland and the Danish Commission for Scientific Research in Greenland to provide long-term environmental measurements. Summit Station is staffed year-round and fills an important niche in the international scientific community’s global measurement capability. The Science Coordination Office (SCO) for Summit Station represents research interests that utilize the station, providing regular feedback to the managers of the Arctic Research Support and Logistics Program (RSL) and conveying information back to the research community about NSFs plans for the station. The SCO presents the needs and desires of the science community working on the ice sheet in interior Greenland in discussions and decision making process between RSL and their primary logistics support contractor. NSF has stated plans to recapitalize the infrastructure at Summit Station over the next 8 years and the SCO will ensure there is communication with the research community throughout the planning and design process. The SCO concurs with NSF’s goals to make a safe and sustainable Summit Station elevated above the drifting snow and preserving the clean air and clean snow research areas. The GEOSummit website has resources for new Principal Investigators, students and educators. Summit Station, Greeland is the site of decades of study of the past climate through deep ice cores, and studies of atmospheric chemistry, snow processes and, more recently, the study of high-energy neutrinos from the origins of the universe. Through this effort, the SCO will ensure that plans to operate and in coming years to recapitalize the infrastructure at Summit Station will be done with the interests of the research community. The SCO meets weekly with the arctic logistics contractor science support, logistics and operations at Summit Station to remain informed about plans and communicate research interests. The SCO is invited to review documents and provide input on plans for Summit Station. The Radio Neutrino Observatory for Greenland (RNO-G) project has installed 6 detector nodes of a planned 30-node network. SCO will continue to advocate for Summit Station site plans that accommodate an influx of astrophysical research while maintaining long standing focus on climate relevant research which needs clean air and snow conditions. This plan will also welcome and support researchers from a range of other disciplines, and will include opportunities to educate students and new researchers, but must keep everyone from inadvertently interfering with each other. The SCO website is a keystone of communication to the science community, with several features added over the past few years such as the Google Earth based GIS -- recording activity in the region over the past 12 years -- a virtual tour using Streetview images, a new Working at Summit section targeting new investigators, a comprehensive bibliography of published work near Summit, and a quarterly Newsletter.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.

格陵兰的峰会站一直是许多国家科学基金会（NSF-OPP）活动的研究地点，已有20多年的历史了。该设施的价值基于其位置，远远超过北极圈，高度足够高，可以在自由的对流层中，不受人类环境或海洋的调节作用的影响，以及Greenland Ice Shite Project 2（GISP2）深层ICE Core。 Summit Station（72on，38OW，3250 M.A.S.L.）主办了格陵兰环境天文台（GeoSummit），GeoSummit是Greenland政府和格陵兰岛丹麦科学研究委员会唯一的NSF站点，可提供长期环境测量。 Summit Station全年配备人员，并填补了国际科学界全球测量能力的重要利基市场。 Summit站的科学协调办公室（SCO）代表了利用该站的研究兴趣，向北极研究支持和物流计划（RSL）的经理提供定期反馈，并将信息转交回有关该电台NSFS计划的信息。 SCO提出了科学界的需求和欲望，在室内装修的冰盖上，在RSL及其主要登录名支持承包商之间的讨论和决策过程中。 NSF已指出计划在未来8年内重组萨米特站的基础设施，而SCO将确保在整个计划和设计过程中与研究社区进行沟通。 SCO与NSF的目标同意，使安全可持续的峰会站高于驱动雪，并保留清洁的空气和清洁雪研究区。 GeoSummit网站为新的主要研究人员，学生和教育者提供资源。格陵兰岛峰会是通过深层冰芯对过去气候进行数十年研究的地点，以及对大气化学，雪过程以及最近对宇宙起源的高能神经元的研究。通过这项努力，SCO将确保计划在未来的几年中重组萨米特站的基础设施，以研究社区的利益来完成基础设施。 SCO每周在萨米特站举行的北极物流承包商科学，物流和运营，以保持有关计划并传达研究兴趣的信息。邀请SCO审查文件并提供有关Summit Station计划的意见。格陵兰（RNO-G）项目的无线电中微子天文台已安装了计划的30节点网络的6个检测器节点。 SCO将继续倡导Summit Station站点计划，以适应天体物理研究的影响，同时长期关注需要清洁空气和雪的相关研究。该计划还将欢迎和支持来自其他学科的研究人员，并将包括教育学生和新研究人员的机会，但必须使每个人都无意间互相干扰。 SCO网站是与科学界沟通的基石，在过去的几年中添加了几个功能，例如基于Google Earth的GIS（过去12年中的该地区的录制活动） - 使用Streetview Images进行的虚拟旅行，在峰会部分的一个新工作，针对新调查人员的新工作，针对新调查人员的新工作，全面的书目摄影书中的全面书目，对Summit的公布和季度新闻奖励的奖励。基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响评论标准。
