Geoscience in the 21st century is increasingly data driven. Easy, reliable access to trustworthy, quality-controlled data on the Earth and its environment is critical for enabling the mining and analysis of multi-disciplinary datasets that make scientific breakthroughs happen and increase our knowledge of the Earth and the things that happen on and below its surface. The increasing number of large-volume, automatically-generated datasets; the need to convert important legacy data and datasets that are presently available only on paper in journals and other scientific publications; the need to educate students, faculty, and the public in proper data management and curation so they can access already-collected data or make their data useable by others; and the need to improve discovery of existing legacy data and combine information from disparate data types or that are in different formats is a major challenge not only for geoscience but for other fields of science as well. As a result, geoscience data increasingly need to be professionally managed and curated to both make these data easily and publicly available and to maximize their potential for use for research which can provide benefits to society. This funding renews support for the Interdisciplinary Earth Data Alliance (IEDA), one of the premiere, NSF-funded, solid-earth, data repositories. IEDA provides discovery and public access to a large volume and variety of NSF-funded data as well as that from a number of other sources so these data can be used and reused by anyone. IEDA was established in 2009 from a series of independent data management/curation activities to provide a single clearinghouse with shared cyberinfrastructure and tools to help solid-earth, NSF-funded, researchers from the ocean, earth, and polar geosciences deposit their data for public access and to discover and reuse data collected by themselves and others to do new science. IEDA develops and operates the necessary databases, software tools, and services that support investigators with data stewardship and access throughout the full data life cycle, with a special focus on disciplines that typically generate and use complex, heterogeneous, structured and unstructured datasets that are particularly challenging to manage and combine. IEDA hosts and serves data that includes marine seismic data and bathymetry; rock and seafloor sediment and hydrothermal vent fluid geochemistry; geochronology; Antarctic research; information about physical samples; and other marine and earth science data. It also has developed and deployed map-based data discovery tools and compiled data products that enable quick identification of data and/or datasets of interest. Researchers from across the US and around the world have used IEDA data and tools and combined them in novel ways to study a wide variety of topics, such as providing new insights on the evolution of mid-ocean ridges and processes happening on continental margins, seafloor and hotspot processes, mantle geodynamics, geohazards, sediment transport between the continents and oceans, global geochemical cycles, and Earth surface processes. All of these would have been impossible or difficult to do in a timely manner without the use of IEDA data holdings and discovery tools. In addition to the broader impacts of promoting public access to important NSF-funded and other geoscience data, other broader impacts of the facility include development of a diverse and highly connected geoinformatics workforce, with a focus on promoting and training women in the field; student and postdoctoral training, within the facility, in data management and curation; education and training of students and faculty across the nation in the importance of data sharing, best practices in data collection and curation, metadata preparation, the processes for making data amenable for reuse and reanalysis by others, and in accessing IEDA and the data systems to which it is linked.The Interdisciplinary Earth Data Alliance (IEDA) is a unique facility whose operations are based on a partnership of domain-specific data systems that are scientifically linked in their relevance for studies of the solid Earth. These systems share a common repository infrastructure and work together to offer integrated services for data submission and data discovery and access that support interdisciplinary research. IEDA shared services ensure broad discovery and persistent access of data submitted by both individual investigators and data acquisition facilities; and it maintains a close liaison with the science community to ensure that its services are aligned with the practices and requirements of its users. Key components of the IEDA system include repositories for file-based resources; a registry and metadata catalog of geoscience samples; web applications for data submission and sample registration; synthesis datasets for global seafloor topography and geochemistry; user interfaces for text-based and map-based data discovery and access; support for machine clients to submit and access data and metadata; and software for data visualization and exploration. IEDA also provides tools for data management planning and reporting to assist investigators with NSF data management policies. Global seafloor topography and solid-earth geochemical data are processed and synthesized for consistency and completeness, made accessible through web sites and web services, and are included as data layers in IEDA's data exploration software GeoMapApp. IEDA data curators review file-based data submissions for metadata quality to ensure that documentation is sufficient to support future reuse. Long-term archives for IEDA data consist of NOAA's National Center for Environmental Information or the Columbia University Long-Term Archive for data preservation. IEDA uses open-source, standards-based technologies to promote interoperable systems for exchanging data and information and foster next-generation geoscience research.

21世纪的地球科学越来越多地驱动数据。 轻松，可靠地访问地球上可信赖，质量控制的数据对于实现多学科数据集的采矿和分析至关重要，这些数据集使科学突破发生并增加了我们对地球的知识以及在其表面上发生和以下发生的事情。数量增加的大量，自动生成的数据集；需要转换重要的遗产数据和数据集，这些数据和数据集目前仅在期刊和其他科学出版物的纸上可用；需要在适当的数据管理和策划中教育学生，教职员工和公众，以便他们可以访问已经收集的数据或使其他人可用的数据；并且需要提高发现现有旧数据的发现并结合不同格式的信息的发现不仅是地球科学，而且对于其他科学领域而言，这是一个主要的挑战。 结果，越来越多地需要对地球科学数据进行专业管理和策划，以使这些数据轻松，公开可用，并最大程度地利用其用于研究的潜力，从而为社会带来好处。这项资金更新支持了跨学科的地球数据联盟（IEDA），这是NSF资助的首映，固体地点，数据存储库之一。 IEDA提供了发现和公众访问大量NSF资助的数据，以及来自许多其他来源的数据，因此任何人都可以使用和重复使用这些数据。 IEDA成立于2009年，由一系列独立的数据管理/策展活动成立，为单个交换所提供了共享的网络基础设施和工具，以帮助固体地球，NSF资助，来自海洋，地球和极地地球科学的研究人员存放其数据，以存放其数据，以供公众访问，并发现和重复使用新科学，从而发现和重复使用新科学。 IEDA在整个数据生命周期内开发并运营了必要的数据库，软件工具和服务，以数据管理和访问为支持调查人员，特别关注通常生成和使用复杂，异构，结构化和非结构化数据集，这些数据集特别具有挑战性地管理和结合。 IEDA宿主并提供包括海洋地震数据和测深的数据；岩石和海底沉积物和水热通风液地球化学；年代学；南极研究；有关物理样本的信息；以及其他海洋和地球科学数据。它还开发了和部署了基于地图的数据发现工具和编译的数据产品，以快速识别感兴趣的数据和/或数据集。 Researchers from across the US and around the world have used IEDA data and tools and combined them in novel ways to study a wide variety of topics, such as providing new insights on the evolution of mid-ocean ridges and processes happening on continental margins, seafloor and hotspot processes, mantle geodynamics, geohazards, sediment transport between the continents and oceans, global geochemical cycles, and Earth surface processes. 如果没有IEDA数据持有和发现工具，所有这些都是不可能或难以及时的。除了促进公众获得重要NSF资助和其他地球科学数据的更广泛影响外，该设施的其他更广泛的影响还包括发展多样化且高度连接的地球信息学员工，重点是促进和培训该领域的妇女；在设施中，在数据管理和策划方面的学生和博士后培训；全国各地学生和教师的教育和培训在数据共享的重要性，数据收集和策划方面的最佳实践，元数据准备，使其其他人进行的数据进行的数据以及访问IEDA的数据以及与之链接的数据系统相关的数据系统是基于跨学科数据联盟（IEDA）的独特性，该数据是独特的，该数据是独特的，该系统是独特的，该数据是独特的，该数据是独特的，该系统是独特的，该数据是独特的，该数据是独特的，该数据是独特的，与它们与固体研究的研究有关。这些系统共享一个共同的存储库基础架构，并共同努力为数据提交和数据发现和访问提供综合服务，以支持跨学科研究。 IEDA共享服务可确保个人调查人员和数据采集设施提交的数据的广泛发现和持续访问；它与科学界保持着密切的联系，以确保其服务与用户的实践和要求保持一致。 IEDA系统的关键组件包括用于基于文件的资源的存储库；地球科学样本的注册表和元数据目录；用于数据提交和样本注册的Web应用程序；全球海底地形和地球化学的合成数据集；用于基于文本和基于地图的数据发现和访问的用户界面；支持机器客户提交和访问数据和元数据；以及用于数据可视化和探索的软件。 IEDA还为数据管理计划和报告提供了工具，以协助调查人员制定NSF数据管理政策。全球海底地形和固体地球化学数据经过处理和合成，以保持一致性和完整性，可以通过网站和Web服务访问，并将其作为数据层中的数据层包含在IEDA数据勘探软件Geomapapp中。 IEDA数据策展人审查基于文件的数据提交的元数据质量，以确保文档足以支持将来的再利用。 IEDA数据的长期档案包括NOAA国家环境信息中心或哥伦比亚大学的长期数据保存档案。 IEDA使用开源，基于标准的技术来促进可互操作的系统来交换数据和信息，并促进下一代地球科学研究。
