Calling All Experimentalists: EarthCube domain end-user workshop to address community needs for sharing and managing experimental data and techniques: Year 1 Experimental stratigr

作者：Wonsuck Kim， Leslie Hsu, Raleigh Martin, AND Brandon McElroy，德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校摘要：实验地球表面过程和地下地层发展的研究正处于一个数据丰富的时代，高分辨率、基于数字的数据集迅速扩展，这些数据集在几年前是不可用的。数百万美元已经投入到水槽实验室的最新更新中，用于研究地表过程和地下结构的科学。这些设施随着先进技术和方法的发展而不断发展，以允许在更大的规模和更精细的分辨率上进行更多更复杂的实验，而这些实验是以前无法实现的。由于预计需要存储大量原始和分析过的数据，因此需要在社区一级作出一致的努力。PIs设想指导资源开发，以增加实验室数据在原始研究之外的效用，增加收集和共享实验数据的有效渠道，并在实验数据的背景下促进实验学家社区，计算机建模者和现场地质学家之间的更大联系。他们打算在EarthCube和研讨会参与者之间提供双向沟通。首先，这次研讨会的结果将通过提供来自学科科学家的详细信息来为EarthCube的工作提供信息。pi将从社区征求数据和信息学需求，并在EarthCube网站上的相关讨论和组（例如数据发现、互操作和语义组）中为EarthCube的工作贡献这些需求。其次，他们将作为EarthCube工作的发言人，向他们的社区通报从参加EarthCube活动中了解到的当前发展和需求（Hsu参加了11月的charrette，并申请参加6月的charrette）。

CALLING ALL EXPERIMENTALISTS A WORKSHOP TO BUILD A COMMUNITY NETWORK FOR SHARING AND MANAGING EXPERIMENTAL DATA AND TECHNIQUES - YEAR 1: EXPERIMENTAL STRATIGRAPHY By Wonsuck Kim, Leslie Hsu, Raleigh Martin, and Brandon McElroy EAR-1250525, University of Texas, Austin ABSTRACT Research in experimental Earth surface processes and subsurface stratal development is in a data-rich era with rapid expansion of high-resolution, digitally based data sets that were not available even a few years ago. Multiple millions of dollars have been invested into recent updates in flume laboratories for the science of surface processes and subsurface architecture. These facilities are evolving along with advanced technology and methodology to allow a greater number of more sophisticated experiments at larger scales and finer resolutions than those that could ever be achieved before. In anticipation of the need for storing vast amounts of raw and analyzed data, a coherent effort is required at the community level. PIs envision guiding development of resources to increase the utility of laboratory data beyond its original study, adding an efficient channel for collecting and sharing experimental data, and fostering greater connectivity between the experimentalist community, computer modelers, and field geologists in the context of experimental data. They intend to provide two-way communication between EarthCube and workshop participants. First, the results of this workshop will feed into the EarthCube effort by providing detailed information from disciplinary scientists. PIs will solicit data and informatics needs from the community and contribute these requirements to the EarthCube effort in the relevant discussions and groups (e.g. Data Discovery, Interop, and Semantics groups) on the EarthCube website. Second, they will serve as spokespersons for the EarthCube effort by informing their community of the current developments and needs that have been learned from attending EarthCube events (Hsu has attended the November charrette and has applied to attend the June charrette).
