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

0417311 CushingRUI：森林冠层数据库和数据库工具-向生态综合拓展万年青州立学院获得了一笔赠款，用于继续开发和大大扩展一套工具，用于森林冠层数据的整合、可视化和操作，以促进结构-功能研究和综合。信息学部分与实地研究相结合，这种关系将促进研究，如果没有先进的信息学，这些研究将不可能进行，并且随着信息学的发展，将提供测试和验证。 信息学开发的一个基本概念是以最小的学习曲线生成用于复杂的最终用户模块化编程的工具。该项目的教育部分与从K12到研究生课程的各个层次的良好教育工作相结合。通过与远程教育和应急反应信息管理网络和国家教育评估系统的合作，促进了社区的参与和传播。

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.
