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

1343130 这项赠款支持地球观测组织地球立方体专题讲习班，重点是与地质测年技术及其数字出版物密切相关的网络基础设施问题。 该讲习班旨在使大约70名地质年代学家和地球科学家参与，目的是：1）为组织地质年代学数据制定一套统一的要求; 2）探索开发和维持领域和网络科学家互动社区的方法，以寻求下一代解决方案来应对已确定的挑战。 研讨会将包括邀请演讲，然后是多个分组讨论和制作文件草案，重点是：1）未来5-15年地质年代学的具体科学挑战和机遇; 2）识别数据和网络基础设施障碍，以应对这些挑战; 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; 5）为至少两个？概念验证对于理解地球历史和过程来说，没有什么比地质年代学更重要的了，而产生强大和高分辨率日期所产生的费用恳求NSF帮助找到一种现代数字解决方案，以保持这些数据集的完整性，并尽可能广泛地促进访问，以支持地球科学的进步。 该研讨会将有助于解决许多继续阻碍地球时间学数据管理、数字出版和社区访问的问题。

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.
