RUI: Forest Canopy Databases and Database Tools -- Branching Out to Ecological Synthesis

[041731]库欣睿：森林冠层数据库和数据库工具——扩展到生态综合常绿州立学院获得了一项资助，用于继续开发和大大扩展一套用于森林冠层数据集成、可视化和操作的工具，以促进结构-功能研究和综合。信息学组件与实地研究相结合，这将促进没有先进信息学就不可能进行的研究，并将随着信息学的发展提供测试和验证。信息学开发的一个基本概念是用最小的学习曲线为复杂的最终用户模块编程生成工具。该项目的教育部分与从K12到研究生课程的各级教育工作相结合。通过与LTER信息管理网络和NCEAS的合作，促进了社区的参与和分发。

0417311CushingRUI: Forest Canopy Databases and Database Tools -- Branching Out to Ecological Synthesis Evergreen State College has been awarded a grant to continue development and greatly expand a suite of tools for integration, visualization and manipulation of forest canopy data facilitating structure-function research and synthesis. The informatics component is integrated with field studies in a relationship that will facilitate studies that would not have been possible without the advanced informatics and hat will provide testing and validation as the informatics evolve. A basic concept of the informatics development is to generate tools for sophisticated end-user modular programming with a minimal learning curve. The educational part of the project is integrated with well developed educational efforts at all levels from K12 through graduate programs. Community involvement and distribution is facilitated by collaboration with the LTER information management network and NCEAS.
