Collaborative Research: Cyberinfrastructure developments for the Magnetics Information Consortium (MagIC)

MAGIC项目的目标是为岩石和古地磁数据开发一个开放的社区数字数据档案，并提供门户网站，允许用户免费访问、搜索和下载各种格式的数据。该项目的一部分涉及将在国际地磁学和大气学会(天文学协会)主持下开发的现有数据库过渡到新的档案。该奖项提供资金，用于继续开发和维护MAGIC设施，以及继续整合皮？S的工作，以便与其他在线数据库进行操作。现在，MAGIC数据库已经起作用，并包含了大量的数据，岩石和古地磁界强烈希望扩大和加强现有的数据分析和可视化工具。Magic数据库和网站的进一步开发将创建一个网络基础设施，研究人员、教师和学生可以在其中找到岩石和古地磁数据并将其可视化。它将提供一个工具来回答日常的研究问题或寻找新的途径来解决今天的问题-S在地磁学、气候研究、板块构造和地球动力学方面的重大挑战。

The goals of the MagIC project have been to develop an open community digital data archive for rock and paleomagnetic data with web portals that allow users free access to archive, search and download data in a broad range of formats. Part of the project has involved the transition of existing databases developed under the auspices of the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA) to the new archive. This award provides funds for the continued development and maintenance of the MagIC facility and for continued integration of the PI?s efforts to operate with other online databases. Now that the MagIC database is functional and contains a critical mass of data, there is a strong desire in the rock and paleomagnetic community to expand and enhance the existing data analysis and visualization tools. The further development of the MagIC database and website will create a Cyberinfrastructure where researchers, teachers and students can find and visualize rock and paleomagnetic data. It will provide a tool to answer daily research questions or to find new pathways in addressing today?s grand challenges in geomagnetism, climate research, plate tectonics and geodynamics.
