A Workshop on Future Development of Paleo and Rock Magnetic Community Databases (March 2002)

私人投资公司提议在斯克里普斯海洋研究所举办一次社区研讨会，为现代古生物、岩石和地磁数据库制定一项共识计划。正如提案中详细讨论的那样，举行这次会议是为了召集一个跨学科的专家组，讨论如何利用信息技术的技术进步来开发基于网络的磁性数据处理。该共同体将考虑如何与包括国际社会在内的地球科学界其他正在发展中的信息技术数据库活动相结合。资金将用于支付参与磁学研究的不同子学科的关键参与者的旅费和住宿费。预计将有来自学术界、政府实验室和广大国际社会的广泛和跨学科的研究人员参加会议。

EAR-0202996Catherine ConstableThe PIs propose to hold a community workshop at Scripps Institute of Oceanography to develop a consensus plan for modern paleo, rock and geomagnetic databases. As discussed in detail in the proposal, the conference is being held to bring together an interdisciplinary group of experts to discuss how to bring technological advances in IT to develop web-based handling for magnetic data. The community will be considering how to integrate with other developing IT database activities in the geosciences, including the international community. Funds will be used to cover travel and accommodations of key participants from the different sub-disciplines involved in magnetism research. It is expected that a broad and interdisciplinary cross-section of researchers from academia, government labs, and the broad international community will participate in the conference.
