Ocean ecosystem dynamics encompasses a broad array of disciplines that seek to increase our understanding of the interplay between the physical, biological, and chemical processes in the ocean. Ocean ecosystem dynamics studies include ocean productivity, population dynamics, biogeography, and biogeochemistry. It is an interdisciplinary science that produces highly diverse data types that pose unique challenges for data management, integration, and analysis. The goal of this workshop is to surface requirements in this important ocean science arena 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 ~50 ocean water column scientists to identify science drivers in the next 15 years in the ocean ecosystem dynamics field and inform the EarthCube process about the data and cyberinfrastructure needs of the associated scientific community. Issues of different scales in time and space of both data and modeling efforts will be discussed in reference to oceans, coastal waters, and the Great Lakes. The workshop will also include cyber/computer science experts; and together workshop participants will collectively define future science goals and focus on identifying the most critical, widespread, cyberinfrastructure and data management issues and problems holding back scientific advances in the area of ocean ecosystem dynamics. Workshop participants will also discuss needs in software and visualization that are needed to better understand and model both present and new data. Broader impacts of the work include building infrastructure for science by identifying needs that will help to shape the final form of EarthCube cyberinfrastructure, 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.

海洋生态系统动力学包括一系列广泛的学科，旨在增加我们对海洋中物理，生物和化学过程之间相互作用的理解。 海洋生态系统动力学研究包括海洋生产力、种群动力学、海洋地理学和海洋地球化学。它是一门跨学科的科学，产生了高度多样化的数据类型，为数据管理、集成和分析带来了独特的挑战。本次研讨会的目标是表面的要求，在这个重要的海洋科学竞技场的一个主要的新的国家科学基金会的数据和知识管理倡议（即，EarthCube），致力于通过提供对来自地球和环境科学的数据的轻松访问、发现和可视化来彻底改变地球科学。该研讨会将汇集约50名海洋水柱科学家，以确定未来15年海洋生态系统动力学领域的科学驱动因素，并向EarthCube进程通报相关科学界的数据和网络基础设施需求。将讨论有关海洋、沿海沃茨和五大湖的数据和模拟工作在时间和空间上不同尺度的问题。 讲习班还将包括网络/计算机科学专家;讲习班参与者将共同确定未来的科学目标，并重点确定最关键、最广泛的网络基础设施和数据管理问题以及阻碍海洋生态系统动态领域科学进步的问题。研讨会参与者还将讨论软件和可视化方面的需求，这些需求是更好地理解和模拟现有数据和新数据所必需的。 这项工作的更广泛影响包括通过确定有助于形成EarthCube网络基础设施最终形式的需求来建设科学基础设施，支持科学和工程领域性别代表不足的两个PI，以及早期职业科学家的参与。将举行讲习班的一个虚拟部分，以帮助扩大现场人员以外的参与。
