This award will support the development of the Integrated Geoscience Observatory (InGeO). InGeO is an online platform that integrates data and associated software tools contributed by researchers into a unified toolset to enable studying the convergent, systems science. Complex processes in the Sun-Earth system affect the habitability of earth. As technological progress continues, our society also becomes increasingly vulnerable to the disruptions introduced by these complex processes. Study of the Sun-Earth system is traditionally broken-up into separate geoscience disciplines, typically focusing on a specific region of the system. However, often the interaction between several regions end up significantly affecting terrestrial systems. For example, a chain of processes occurring between the Sun, magnetosphere, and ionosphere often result in loss of GPS signal that severely affects all the communication/navigation and infrastructure that depends on this technology. To broach the larger question of the interaction of the subsystems studied by the separate communities, it is necessary to overcome the barriers of communication posed by different observational instruments, software tools for interpreting data, and modeling methods.To promote systems science, InGeO creates an integrated package of software tools specifically designed to help researchers find and integrate diverse observational data and distributes this toolkit to the community in the most flexible way possible. Building on the pilot project supported by the NSF EarthCube program, the specific features of the toolkit include: (a) linking diverse data sets from multiple observational data repositories; (b) using these data within a shareable computing environment, complete with a full selection of standard numerical and data-processing tools; and (c) enabling an ever growing assortment of targeted, user-contributed tools, such as assimilative models or interpolation methods. The toolkit can be accessed and used either through a web-based computing environment or by downloading Docker containers for local installation, with a nearly seamless transition between the two. The toolkit is open-source and ensures credit attribution to data and software contributors, and the InGeO team works with members of scientific community (especially students and early career researchers) to improve the toolkit and build a sustainable, more connected user-base.This award by the NSF Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure is jointly supported by the Cross-Cutting Activities Program within the NSF Directorate for Geosciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项将支持综合地球科学天文台（InGeO）的发展。InGeO是一个在线平台，它将研究人员提供的数据和相关软件工具集成到一个统一的工具集中，以便研究融合的系统科学。日地系统中的复杂过程影响着地球的可居住性。随着技术的不断进步，我们的社会也越来越容易受到这些复杂过程带来的破坏。太阳-地球系统的研究传统上被分解为独立的地球科学学科，通常集中在系统的特定区域。然而，几个区域之间的相互作用往往最终会对陆地系统产生重大影响。例如，太阳、磁层和电离层之间发生的一系列过程往往导致GPS信号丢失，严重影响依赖这一技术的所有通信/导航和基础设施。为了解决由不同群体研究的子系统相互作用的更大问题，有必要克服不同观测仪器、解释数据的软件工具和建模方法所造成的沟通障碍。InGeO创建了一个集成的软件工具包，专门用于帮助研究人员查找和整合各种观测数据，并将该工具包分发给尽可能以最灵活的方式。在国家科学基金会EarthCube方案支助的试点项目的基础上，该工具包的具体特点包括：（a）将来自多个观测数据储存库的各种数据集连接起来;（B）在一个可共享的计算环境中使用这些数据，并配备各种标准数字和数据处理工具;以及（c）使有针对性的、用户贡献的工具种类不断增加，如同化模型或插值方法。该工具包可以通过基于Web的计算环境访问和使用，也可以通过下载Docker容器进行本地安装，两者之间几乎无缝过渡。该工具包是开源的，并确保数据和软件贡献者的信誉，InGeO团队与科学界成员合作（特别是学生和早期职业研究人员），以改善工具包，并建立一个可持续的，更多的连接用户群。由NSF高级网络基础设施办公室颁发的这一奖项得到了跨该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
