Climate change is causing rapid warming in Greenland and on the Greenland Ice Sheet. Changes in Greenland have impacts around the globe, from adding freshwater to ocean ecosystems in the North Atlantic to raising sea levels in Florida and other faraway places. Scientists are studying Greenland changes and producing important and useful data and science tools. As the amount of data increases and the number of tools available to help with science expands, it is critical that people producing, using, and applying Greenland-focused data are coordinating with each other. This workshop will bring together people who create and use Greenland data so that they can discuss data needs and outline ways that tools can be made more useful. They will also identify gaps in knowledge, data, and tools that need to be addressed. In this way, the workshop will help the Earth sciences community to work together to ensure that data is usable and used, and to create new knowledge more effectively. Follow-through on workshop recommendations will also help Earth scientists work effectively with other researchers and non-scientists, like decision makers or local townspeople. Greenland-focused research is crucial for addressing issues including ocean ecosystem transformation, rising global sea levels, and Earth system links that may increase or decrease how quickly climate impacts appear. The National Science Foundation and others have supported key data, tools, and programs related to Greenland research. As these projects mature, coordination and community discussion are required to ensure that projects are working together, gaps in data, tools, and workflows are identified, and there is a shared vision to support efficient and effective research across a broadening group of participants. This 2-day (virtual and in-person) interactive workshop will gather data and tool creators and users to discuss needs, identify open opportunities, and chart the developments in Greenland data and tools to support the next decade of science in service to society. The workshop will enhance coordination in the Greenland Earth science community, develop community recommendations for more effective and efficient data-to-insight and insight-to-application workflows, and ensure the Earth science community is well prepared for collaboration with other researchers and nonscientists. These improvements will have widespread positive societal benefits, connected closely with urgent topics such as sea level rise and ecosystem change.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.

气候变化正在导致格陵兰岛和格陵兰冰盖迅速变暖。格陵兰岛的变化对全球产生了影响，从北大西洋海洋生态系统增加淡水到佛罗里达州和其他遥远地方的海平面上升。科学家们正在研究格陵兰岛的变化并产生重要且有用的数据和科学工具。随着数据量的增加和可用于帮助科学发展的工具数量的增加，生产、使用和应用格陵兰岛数据的人们之间的相互协调至关重要。该研讨会将汇集格陵兰数据创建和使用人员，以便他们讨论数据需求并概述如何使工具更有用。他们还将确定需要解决的知识、数据和工具方面的差距。通过这种方式，研讨会将帮助地球科学界共同努力，确保数据可用和使用，并更有效地创造新知识。贯彻研讨会的建议还将帮助地球科学家与其他研究人员和非科学家（如决策者或当地城镇居民）有效合作。以格陵兰岛为重点的研究对于解决海洋生态系统转型、全球海平面上升以及可能增加或减少气候影响出现速度的地球系统联系等问题至关重要。美国国家科学基金会和其他机构支持了与格陵兰岛研究相关的关键数据、工具和项目。随着这些项目的成熟，需要进行协调和社区讨论，以确保项目协同工作，确定数据、工具和工作流程中的差距，并有一个共同的愿景来支持更广泛的参与者群体的高效和有效的研究。这个为期 2 天（虚拟和面对面）的互动研讨会将聚集数据和工具创建者和用户，讨论需求，确定开放机会，并绘制格陵兰数据和工具的发展图表，以支持下一个十年的科学服务社会。该研讨会将加强格陵兰地球科学界的协调，为更有效和高效的数据到洞察和洞察到应用工作流程制定社区建议，并确保地球科学界为与其他研究人员和非科学家的合作做好充分准备。这些改进将产生广泛的积极社会效益，与海平面上升和生态系统变化等紧迫主题密切相关。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
