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

PIs提议在斯克里普斯海洋学研究所举办一个社区研讨会，以制定一个关于现代古、岩石和地磁数据库的共识计划。正如提案中所详细讨论的，会议的召开是为了召集一个跨学科的专家小组，讨论如何利用信息技术的进步来开发基于网络的磁性数据处理。社区将考虑如何与地球科学领域其他发展中的信息技术数据库活动，包括国际社会相结合。资金将用于支付来自不同学科的磁学研究的主要参与者的旅行和住宿。预计来自学术界、政府实验室和广泛的国际社会的广泛和跨学科的研究人员将参加会议。

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.
