EarthCube domain end-user workshop: Bringing Geochronology into the EarthCube framework

1343130歌手这笔赠款支持地球观测组织地球立方体专题研讨会，重点关注与地质测年技术及其数字出版密切相关的网络基础设施问题。讲习班力求吸引大约70名地质年代学家和地球科学家参加，目的是：1)为组织地质年代学数据制定一套统一的要求；2)探索发展和维持领域和网络科学家互动社区的方法，以寻求解决已确定挑战的下一代办法。研讨会将包括多个分组的特邀讲座，以讨论和制作文件草案，重点是：1)未来5-15年地球年代学的具体科学挑战和机会；2)确定迎接这些挑战的数据和网络基础设施障碍；3)汇编已知的社区数据和建模资源；4)描述应对挑战所需的数据和网络能力；以及5)为至少两个？概念验证？地球年代学是理解地球历史和过程的最基本的东西，而制作可靠和高分辨率日期所产生的费用恳请美国国家科学基金会帮助找到一个现代数字解决方案，以保持这些数据集的完整性，并促进尽可能广泛的获取，以支持地球科学的进步。该讲习班将有助于解决继续阻碍地学数据管理、数字出版和社区使用的许多问题。

1343130 SingerThis grant supports a GEO EarthCube topical workshop with a focus on cyberinfrastructure issues germane to geological dating techniques and their digital publication. The workshop seeks to engage approximately 70 geochronologists and geoscientists with the intent to: 1) develop a set of unifying requirements for the organization of geochronology data; and 2) explore methods for developing and sustaining an interactive community of domain and cyber-scientists to pursue next-generation solutions to the identified challenges. The workshop will include invited talks followed by multiple breakout groups to discuss and produce draft documents focused on: 1) specific scientific challenges and opportunities in Geochronology over the next 5-15 years; 2) identification of the data and cyber-infrastructure obstacles to meeting those challenges; 3) a compilation of known community data and modeling resources; 4) description of data and cyber-capabilities required to meet challenges; and 5) development of ideas for at least two ?proof-of-concept? projects or test cases for scientifically transformative CI activities.Nothing is more fundamental to understanding Earth history and processes than geochronology and the expense incurred in producing robust and high resolution dates implores NSF to help find a modern digital solution(s) for maintaining the integrity of these data sets and promoting access as broadly as possible in support of the advancement of the geosciences. This workshop will help to address many of the issues that continue to hamper geochonological data curation, digital publication and community access.
