A major need in the geosciences is to reduce the amount of time geoscientists spend on "data wrangling" tasks (finding, accessing, subsetting, gridding, processing, reformatting, visualizing) so that they can spend more time on complex scientific analysis. This project will develop a means for scientists to document and interact with all of the data management and analysis tools that they need to create a scientific result, and it will add tools to find common patterns in their work to help find tools that could reduce the time needed to produce the result. This work may also help to make moethods and analyses more transparent by providing the means to track the steps in creating a scientific result.This project builds on relationships among cyberinfrastructure experts and geoscientists examine current scientific workflows and the integration of EarthCube tools. The work will include a workflow sketching interface to specify the steps, dependencies, current tools, current duration, and other important aspects of a scientist's workflow. As part of the proposed pilot project, the team will examine two geoscience use cases (hurricane risk and water resources) in detail and assign cyberinfrastructure experts to integrate EarthCube tools into these science workflows, to demonstrate the increases in productivity that are realized. In addition, the team will conduct a workshop/clinic at a major geoscience conference to collect additional use cases from the community, where geoscientists will describe their workflows and receive personalized advice on the use of EarthCube tools. If successful, the researchers may expand on this pilot project to conduct many more workshops at other venues and to map many more scientific workflows to corresponding EarthCube technologies.

地球科学的主要需求是减少地球科学家在“数据争吵”任务上花费的时间（查找，访问，子集，网格，处理，加工，重新格式化，可视化），以便他们可以在复杂的科学分析上花费更多的时间。该项目将为科学家开发一种方法，以记录并与所有数据管理和分析工具进行记录并互动，以创建科学结果，并将添加工具以在其工作中找到常见模式，以帮助找到可以减少产生结果所需时间的工具。这项工作还可以通过提供追踪创造科学结果的步骤来帮助使摩托石和分析更加透明。该项目建立在网络基础设施专家之间的关系，而地球科学家检查当前的科学工作流程和地球工具的整合。 这项工作将包括一个工作流程素描接口，以指定科学家工作流程的步骤，依赖项，当前工具，当前持续时间和其他重要方面。 作为拟议的试点项目的一部分，该团队将详细研究两个地球科学用例（飓风风险和水资源），并分配网络基础设施专家，以将Earthercube工具集成到这些科学工作流程中，以证明实现生产率的提高。 此外，团队将在一次重大地球科学会议上进行研讨会/诊所，以收集社区的其他用例，地球科学家将描述他们的工作流程并获得有关使用EarthCube工具的个性化建议。 如果成功的话，研究人员可能会扩展该试点项目，以在其他场所进行更多的研讨会，并将更多的科学工作流程映射到相应的EarthCube技术。
