This EarthCube project possesses deep, disciplinary and interdisciplinary expertise in the development, implementation and support of geoscientific modeling architectures and in the promotion and utilization of community standards in model development and in data management. Combined, this team will integrate existing model architectures, model coupling standards and data standards into a set of open source Earth System Bridge building blocks that will transform the process of Earth system model coupling and bridge the present technological gap. In collaboration with the community of framework developers, the team will create a Framework Definition Language (FDL) which characterizes Earth system coupling technologies in terms of their metadata usage, architecture, protocols for interaction, and implementation, and use this as a basis for understanding potential framework inter-connections. They will use the FDL to develop a set of ?bridges? that connect leading software frameworks from the federal modeling enterprise and from the academic geoscientific modeling enterprise, for the sake of creating seamless environmental and impacts prediction tools, and develop new services to improve the integration of inter-agency, four-dimensional databases with more heterogeneous academic databases for use in earth system models and by modeling groups. Demonstration of the new modeling and data integration architecture will be in two case studies: the first, prediction of the local impacts of the Hurricane Sandy landfall; and the second, the integration of deep Earth process with surface dynamics. These problems span disciplines, agencies, and research and operational communities, and require addressing scientific, technical, and cultural issues.The overarching goal is to bridge this present technological gap in Earth System modeling, thereby illustrating how a common cyberinfrastructure can be used in different Earth science disciplines and communities, and how improved cyberinfrastructure can directly address pressing cross-disciplinary science questions.The tools developed by the Earth System Bridge have the potential to serve many different disciplinary communities. A more interconnected and capable modeling community will significantly increase the speed at which knowledge is currently transferred between the research and operational communities, Connecting the academic and operational infrastructure will reduce inefficiencies and gaps that exists in the system today. The technology developed will place increased capabilities in the hands of a broader set of geoscientists, lowering the barriers to more scientists participating in multi-disciplinary research that is needed to address today?s policy issues and increase our national resilience to a wide variety of natural hazards.

EarthCube 项目在地球科学建模架构的开发、实施和支持以及模型开发和数据管理方面的社区标准的推广和利用方面拥有深厚的学科和跨学科专业知识。该团队将把现有的模型架构、模型耦合标准和数据标准整合到一组开源地球系统桥构建块中，这将改变地球系统模型耦合的过程并弥合当前的技术差距。该团队将与框架开发人员社区合作，创建框架定义语言（FDL），该框架定义语言在元数据使用、架构、交互协议和实现方面描述地球系统耦合技术的特征，并以此作为理解潜在框架互连的基础。他们将使用 FDL 开发一组“桥梁”。连接来自联邦建模企业和学术地球科学建模企业的领先软件框架，以创建无缝的环境和影响预测工具，并开发新服务以改善机构间四维数据库与更多异构学术数据库的集成，以供地球系统模型和建模小组使用。新的建模和数据集成架构将在两个案例研究中进行演示：第一个是飓风桑迪登陆对当地影响的预测；第二，地球深部过程与表面动力学的整合。这些问题跨越学科、机构以及研究和运营社区，需要解决科学、技术和文化问题。总体目标是弥合地球系统建模中目前的技术差距，从而说明如何在不同的地球科学学科和社区中使用通用的网络基础设施，以及改进的网络基础设施如何直接解决紧迫的跨学科科学问题。地球系统桥开发的工具有潜力服务 许多不同的学科社区。一个更加互联和强大的建模社区将显着提高当前研究和运营社区之间知识转移的速度，连接学术和运营基础设施将减少当今系统中存在的低效率和差距。所开发的技术将使更广泛的地球科学家掌握更多的能力，降低更多科学家参与解决当今政策问题所需的多学科研究的障碍，并提高我们国家应对各种自然灾害的能力。
