EarthCube Science Support Office (ESSO)

EarthCube是一个社区驱动的努力，其目标是通过创造一个良好的综合和便利的环境，以开放，透明和包容的方式分享科学数据，信息工具和服务以及知识，从而改变地球科学研究和教育的行为。在大学大气研究公司（UCAR）的领导下，并与地球立方社区、其治理机构以及其他利益攸关方和合作者合作，地球立方科学支助办公室（ESSO）将支持推进地球立方使命的努力。ESSO的作用将是提供后勤、组织和行政基础，以促进EarthCube的目标，通过促进信息和计算科学的进步，促进地球科学的科学突破。ESSO将奋进确保为EarthCube利益相关者提供专业、高效、透明和灵活的高质量服务，为EarthCube社区及其治理小组提供后勤支持，以促进和管理社区对话，加强努力，以共识为导向的方法确定和解决共同挑战，并帮助实现EarthCube的全部潜力和愿景。埃索将发挥领导作用，提高地球立方各项工作的一致性和影响力，采取协调一致和综合良好的办法来管理和支持治理、科学和技术活动。为了实现这一目标，UCAR将利用其两个社区计划的专业知识- Unidata和科学支持联合办公室（JOSS）-提供ESSO要求的服务。此外，埃索将与地球科学信息合作伙伴联合会合作，利用其在地球科学网络基础设施界的长期经验，为两个组织及其社区的共同利益服务。埃索还将通过参加国家和国际科学学会会议、科学人才招聘会和其他活动，带头开展外联和社区参与活动。埃索将通过地球立方网站、通讯和社会媒体，向更广泛的受众进行宣传。它将利用地球科学家和网络基础设施专业人员的存在，提供面对面和虚拟研讨会，促进资助项目的工作，数据设施，并为教育，培训和劳动力发展活动提供骨干支持。

EarthCube is a community-driven effort with the goal of transforming the conduct of geoscience research and education by creating a well-integrated and facile environment to share scientific data, information tools and services, and knowledge in an open, transparent, and inclusive manner. Under the leadership of University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) and in partnership with the EarthCube community, its governance, and other stakeholders and collaborators, the EarthCube Science Support Office (ESSO) will support efforts to advance EarthCube's mission. ESSO's role will be to provide a logistical, organizational, and administrative foundation to facilitate the advancement of EarthCube goals to catalyze scientific breakthroughs in the geosciences by fostering advances in information and computational sciences. ESSO will endeavor to ensure a high quality of service to EarthCube stakeholders, delivered with professionalism, efficiency, transparency, and nimbleness.ESSO will provide logistical support to the EarthCube community and its governance groups in order to stimulate and manage community dialog, strengthen efforts to define and resolve common challenges using a consensus-oriented approach, and help realize EarthCube's full potential and vision. ESSO will provide leadership to improve the coherence and impact of EarthCube's efforts, bringing a coordinated and well-integrated approach to managing and supporting governance, science, and technology activities. To accomplish this, UCAR will draw on the expertise of two of its community programs -- Unidata and the Joint Office for Science Support (JOSS) -- to provide the services requested of the ESSO. In addition, ESSO will collaborate with the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) Federation to leverage their long experience with the geoscience cyberinfrastructure community for the mutual benefit of both organizations and their communities. ESSO will also spearhead outreach and community engagement activities by participating in national and international scientific society meetings, scientific career fairs, and other events. ESSO will reach out to broader audiences through the EarthCube website, newsletters, and social media. It will leverage the presence of geoscientists and cyberinfrastructure professionals to offer in-person and virtual seminars, promoting the work of funded projects, data facilities, and providing backbone support for education, training, and workforce development activities.
