The seafloor serves and the primary conduit for mass and heat transfer between the sub-seafloor and the overlying ocean water column, with both operating on vastly different time and mass scales. Dynamics at this interface drive global biogeochemical and geochemical elemental cycles, control global ocean chemistry, and shape the atmosphere and climate systems. Deep sea ecosystems also host some of the most diverse and extreme ecosystems including those inhabiting hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, mid-ocean ridges, ridge flanks, and plate margins. Without data from a wide variety of disciplines, such as geology, petrology, geophysics, hydrogeology, and micro/macro/evolutionary biology, it is not possible to realistically model these important systems and understand the complex interactions between their various physical, chemical, and biological components. Instrumental to understanding processes and dynamics of the deep sea requires integration of the disparate datasets and models that represent and predict the behavior of the components of this complex, important system. The goal of this workshop is to surface requirements in the field of deep sea processes for a major new NSF data and knowledge management initiative (i.e., EarthCube) that is dedicated to revolutionizing geoscience by providing easy access to, discovery of, and visualization of data from across the geo- and environmental sciences. This workshop will bring together ~55 oceanographers from across the relevant disciplines. It will also include cyber/computer science experts. Together workshop participants will collectively define future science goals in this important scientific area and focus on identifying the most critical, widespread cyberinfrastructure and data management issues and problems presently holding back scientific advances in deep sea science in order to guide the development of NSF EarthCube cyberinfrastructure. The workshop will also focus on strategies that help scientists and data that they need to cross sub-discipline barriers to enable more interdisciplinary research to take place. Workshop participants will address topics such as science drivers in deep sea process research in the next 15 years, data and data management needs and problems, and software and visualization needs to help model and understand data. Broader impacts of the work include support of an organization in an EPSCoR state, support of two PIs whose gender is under-represented in the sciences and engineering, and engagement of early career scientists. A virtual component of the workshop will be held to help broaden participation beyond those present on-site.

海底服务和主要的渠道，用于质量和海底海水柱之间的质量和热传递，两者都在不同的时间和质量尺度上运行。 该界面的动力学驱动全球生物地球化学和地球化学元素循环，控制全球海洋化学，并塑造大气和气候系统。深海生态系统还拥有一些最多样化和极端的生态系统，包括那些居住在水热通风孔，冷渗水，中山脊，山脊侧面和板缘的人。 没有各种各样的学科数据，例如地质，岩石学，地球物理学，水文学和微/宏观/进化生物学，就不可能实际对这些重要系统进行建模并了解其各种物理，化学，化学和生物学成分之间的复杂相互作用。了解深海的过程和动力学的作用，需要整合不同的数据集和模型，这些数据集和模型代表并预测了该复杂，重要系统的组件的行为。 该研讨会的目的是在深海流程领域的表面要求，用于一项新的NSF数据和知识管理计划（即EarthCube），该计划致力于通过轻松访问，从地理和环境科学范围内访问，发现和可视化数据来革新地球科学。该研讨会将使来自相关学科的55名海洋学家聚集在一起。它还将包括网络/计算机科学专家。 研讨会的参与者将共同定义这个重要科学领域的未来科学目标，并专注于确定最关键，广泛的网络基础设施以及数据管理问题以及目前阻碍深海科学的科学进步的问题，以指导NSF EarthCube Cyber​​infrasture的发展。该研讨会还将集中于帮助科学家和数据跨学科障碍的策略，以实现更多的跨学科研究。 研讨会的参与者将在未来15年内研究诸如深海过程研究中的科学驱动因素，数据和数据管理需求和问题，软件和可视化需要帮助建模和理解数据。这项工作的更广泛影响包括在EPSCOR州的一个组织的支持，支持两个PI的支持，其性别在科学和工程学中的代表性不足，以及早期职业科学家的参与。将举行研讨会的虚拟组成部分，以帮助扩大现场现场的参与。
