Karl Mueller, Barbara Garrison, C. L. Giles, and Prasenjit Mitra of Pennsylvania State University are supported by the NSF Divisions of Chemistry and Shared Cyberinfrastructure, under the Cyberinfrastructure and Research Facilities Program. This project represents a multidisciplinary approach to linking kinetic information in environmental chemistry across spatial and temporal scales. The main goal is to integrate experimental, analytical, and simulation results performed on systems from molecular to field scales in order to approximate the complex interactions controlling the fate and transport of contaminants. A federated database will be developed at the Center for Environmental Kinetics Analysis, and NSF-supported Environmental Molecular Science Institute, to improve communication among scientists working in various disciplines and at vastly different scales.An easily queried, intelligent database can provide access to critically relevant data for a diverse community of users, enabling these users to achieve higher order scientific goals, namely, validation of results and generation of new scientific questions. In this project, a team of chemists and experts in information technology will design such a database for ready access and use, automate the uploading and collection of data, design and build a search engine and digital library for active data and information acquisition, create an interface for conducting experiments, and develop an intelligent user interface.

卡尔·穆勒，芭芭拉·加里森，C. L.宾夕法尼亚州立大学的Giles和Prasenjit Mitra在网络基础设施和研究设施计划下得到了NSF化学和共享网络基础设施部门的支持。 该项目代表了一个多学科的方法，在空间和时间尺度上连接环境化学动力学信息。 其主要目标是整合实验，分析和模拟结果进行系统从分子到现场规模，以近似控制污染物的命运和运输的复杂的相互作用。 环境动力学分析中心和国家科学基金会支持的环境分子科学研究所将开发一个联合数据库，以改善从事不同学科和不同规模工作的科学家之间的沟通。一个易于查询的智能数据库可以为不同的用户社区提供关键相关数据的访问权限，使这些用户能够实现更高层次的科学目标，即，验证结果和产生新的科学问题。 在这个项目中，一个由化学家和信息技术专家组成的小组将设计这样一个数据库，供随时访问和使用，使数据的上传和收集自动化，设计和建立一个搜索引擎和数字图书馆，用于主动获取数据和信息，创建一个进行实验的界面，并开发一个智能用户界面。
