Workshop on Cyberinfrastructure for Polar Sciences

国家科学基金会的极地网络基础设施计划有可能通过促进极地和网络基础设施社区之间的工具和知识的传输和整合来改变极地研究。社区的投入对于实现这些目标的过程至关重要，以确保基础设施投资满足在每个领域工作的科学家的实地需求。在这方面，PI建议组织一次研讨会，以确定和确定如何通过网络基础设施促进和实现更好的极地科学的优先事项。该研讨会将为极地网络基础设施计划提供最终报告。研讨会和报告将讨论参与和建立计算机和极地科学之间的桥梁，可以在短期（1-5年）和长期（5-10年以上）内进行。将讨论的主题包括大数据和数据访问，数据和元数据采集的软件工具，工作流程支持，数据分析，数据可视化和建模，计算能力，与其他领域数据的互操作性，以及解决极地科学家的政策和程序？和工程师？例如，对数据共享、数据引用、知识产权和职业发展的关注。来自最广泛的科学领域的参与者将参与其中，包括早期的职业科学家。研讨会的形式将与EarthCube计划组织的形式类似，包括演讲和分组会议。

The Polar Cyberinfrastructure Program at the National Science Foundation has the potentialto transform polar research, by facilitating the transmission and integration of tools and knowledge across the polar and cyberinfrastructure communities. Community input is essentialto the process of realizing these goals, to ensure that the infrastructure investments meetthe on-the-ground requirements of scientists working in each domain. In this regard, the PI proposes to organize a workshop to identify and definepriorities for how to further and enable better polar science through cyberinfrastructure. The workshop will produce a final report to the Polar Cyberinfrastructure Program. The workshop and report will addressengagement and building bridges between computer and polar sciences, what can be accomplishedin the short-term (1-5 years) and long-term (5-10+ years). Topics that will be discussed includebig data and data access, software tools for data and metadata acquisition, workflow support,data analysis, data visualization, and modeling, computing capabilities, interoperabilitywith data from other domains, as well as policies and procedures that address the polar scientists?and engineers? concerns regarding, for example, data sharing, data citation, intellectualproperty, and career advancement. Participants from the broadest range of science domains will be engaged, including early career scientists. The format of the workshop will be similar to those organized through the EarthCube program, with presentations and breakout sessions.
