This project will develop QGreenland-Net, a cloud-based geospatial data infrastructure for Greenland-focused research and education that builds on the existing QGreenland geographic information system (GIS) package. QGreenland-Net is motivated by U.S. and international strategic priorities to increase the usability and accessibility of Greenland-related data for research and decision-making. To address these needs, QGreenland-Net will build capacity for open data sharing, shared data services, and consistent standards across U.S.-, Greenland-, and Denmark-based data producers and geospatial software creators. QGreenland-Net will create open data services that simplify geospatial data integration, making it easier for researchers and managers to map, analyze, and model changes in the Greenlandic Arctic. This inherent support of data sharing is a key element of open data ecosystem creation that will arise from QGreenland-Net activities. The broader impacts of QGreenland-Net are far reaching, serving data creators, data users, geoscientific and interdisciplinary researchers, educators from high school through graduate school, and interested decision makers, planners, and communities. Free and open access is a key element of an open science ecosystem, and all QGreenland-Net development, tools, and support resources will continue to be open and free to access.QGreenland-Net will mobilize and deliver critical geospatial data resources for Greenland-focused research and education from sources that are currently highly dispersed, inaccessible, and not interoperable. The software created by QGreenland-Net will serve the full geospatial data community, and it will provide a replicable approach to data delivery that could be applied across Arctic science and the geosciences. At the heart of the QGreenland-Net project is a new NSF Arctic Data Center and QGreenland partnership to create an “Open Geospatial Data Cloud” (OGDC) to improve discoverability, accessibility, and interoperability for geospatial data from the DataONE federation of data repositories. Using these cloud resources, researchers and educators will be able to identify geospatial data of interest from the network of repositories, make data transformations, and then share, analyze, and visualize those data via QGreenland or other geospatial software. QGreenland-Net will coordinate across the Greenland research, open research software, and federated data communities to ensure interconnected data-to-application process development, and it will support sustained and networked growth of this new open science ecosystem through workshops, tutorials, and community-building. Introduction of an educator-specific QGreenland package will support teaching Polar science principles, and further development of enduring educational materials will allow teachers, students, and researchers to cultivate new capacity for geospatial data use and discovery.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.

该项目将开发 QGreenland-Net，这是一个基于云的地理空间数据基础设施，用于以格陵兰为重点的研究和教育，该基础设施建立在现有的 QGreenland 地理信息系统 (GIS) 包的基础上。格陵兰岛相关数据用于研究和决策的可用性和可获取性 为了满足这些需求，QGreenland-Net 将在美国、格陵兰岛、总部位于丹麦的数据生产商和地理空间软件创建者将创建开放数据服务，以简化地理空间数据集成，使研究人员和管理人员能够更轻松地绘制、分析和建模格陵兰北极地区的变化。共享是 QGreenland-Net 活动所产生的开放数据生态系统创建的关键要素，QGreenland-Net 的广泛影响是深远的，为数据创建者、数据用户、地球科学和跨学科研究人员、从高中到研究生的教育工作者提供服务。免费和开放的访问是开放科学生态系统的关键要素，所有 QGreenland-Net 开发、工具和支持资源将继续开放并免费访问。 QGreenland-Net 创建的软件将为整个地理空间数据社区提供服务，并为格陵兰岛的研究和教育提供关键的地理空间数据资源，这些资源目前高度分散、无法访问且无法互操作。 QGreenland-Net 项目的核心是一个新的 NSF 北极数据中心和 QGreenland 合作伙伴关系，旨在创建一个“开放地理空间数据云”(OGDC)，以改进北极科学和地球科学领域的可复制数据交付方法。来自 DataONE 数据存储库联盟的地理空间数据的可发现性、可访问性和互操作性 使用这些云资源，研究人员和教育工作者将能够从网络中识别感兴趣的地理空间数据。 QGreenland-Net 将在格陵兰研究、开放研究软件和联合数据社区之间进行协调，以确保数据到应用程序的互连。它将通过研讨会、教程和社区建设来支持这一新的开放科学生态系统的持续和网络化发展。推出针对教育者的 QGreenland 软件包将支持极地科学原理的教学，以及持久教育的进一步发展。材料将使教师、学生和研究人员能够培养地理空间数据使用和发现的新能力。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。
