Collaborative Research: Corewall - Integrated Environment for Interpretation of Geoscientific Data from Sediment and Crystalline Cores

在与IODP、ICDP、冰芯、湖泊地质学和古湖泊学研究团体的广泛合作下，CoreWall联盟（明尼苏达大学的LacCore、哥伦比亚大学Lamont-Doherty地球观测站的钻孔研究小组、芝加哥伊利诺伊大学的电子可视化实验室和科罗拉多大学的INSTAAR）将共同开发CoreWall Suite，这是一个实时地层对比工具。供海洋、陆地和南极科学界使用的核心描述（CD）和数据可视化系统。CoreWall Suite打造的工作模型将显著改变和增强目前用于岩心描述、沉积物和岩石岩心分析的方法，为这些活动提供一个集成的环境，包括现场和储存库环境。特别是，CoreWall套件将包含新的NCLIP软件，即10多年前由Lamont集团开发的CLIP（例如Sagan和Splicer）的更新版本。CoreWall套件将是便携式的，能够在各种显示平台上工作，如笔记本电脑和平铺显示器，因此允许它在现场、实验室和个人办公室环境中使用。这个项目需要各种显著的更广泛的影响，包括本科生和研究生的参与。CoreWall套件对各种拓展活动以及课堂使用都很有用。

In broad collaboration with the IODP, ICDP, ice-core, limnogeology and paleolimnology research communities, the CoreWall Consortium (the LacCore at the U. of Minnesota, Borehole Research Group at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, Electronic Visualization Laboratory at U. of Illinois at Chicago, and INSTAAR at the U. of Colorado) will jointly develop CoreWall Suite, a real-time stratigraphic correlation, core description (CD) and data visualization system to be used by the marine, terrestrial and Antarctic science communities. The work model forged by the CoreWall Suite will significantly alter and enhance the current approaches used for core description and analysis of sediment and rock cores by providing an integrated environment for these activities, for both field and repository environments. In particular, the CoreWall Suite will incorporate the new NCLIP software, the updated version of CLIP (e.g.,Sagan and Splicer) that was developed by the Lamont group more than 10 years ago. The CoreWall Suite will be portable, able to work on a variety of display platforms such as laptops and tiled displays, hence allowing it to be used in the field, laboratory and individual office settings. This project entails a variety of significant broader impacts including involvement of undergraduate and graduate students. The CoreWall Suite will be useful for a variety of outreach activities as well as classroom use.
