This award is for partial support to hold a 3-day open community workshop from March 16-18, 2020 at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The theme is "Rock and Paleomagnetism through Time and Space". The first two days of the workshop will be focused on science combined with dissemination of essential information about MagIC and paleomagnetic data. The third day of the workshop will include hands-on sessions for uploading data; accessing, manipulating and visualizing the data from both new and existing data sets; for data model discussions; and for brainstorming on new directions. It will bring together scientists from various backgrounds, perspectives and subdisciplines using paleomagnetic databases to solve science problems across Earth sciences. The program and this support will foster the participation of young scientists, such as post docs and graduate students, and there is an outreach plan that aims to broaden participation. The meeting organizers have articulated a code of conduct for the meeting. The workshop has two overarching goals. First is to update the community about improvements, modifications, and new resources available for users of the MagIC paleomagnetic database. These include streamlined approaches to uploading data, discovering data contributed by others, using online tools for visualization and analysis, and progress in implementing APIs (application program interfaces). The organizers also plan to gather feedback for enhancements to the MagIC database and for improving the interoperability of MagIC with other databases. The second goal is to engage a multi-disciplinary group of scientists in the discussion of scientific questions that require magnetic data to solve problems across fields. Four themes will be allocated a half day each, and are intimately related to MagIC's core activities, as well as linking to other areas where researchers have interests in interoperable data discovery. The research foci are "(1) Paleomagnetism and Improving the Geological Timescale; (2) Tectonic Applications of Paleomagnetism;(3) Variations of the Magnetic Field Through Earth's History; (4) Rock and Paleomagnetic Methods & Instrumentation."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.

该奖项是部分支持从2020年3月16日至18日在斯克里普斯海洋研究所举行为期3天的开放社区研讨会。 主题是“岩石和古地磁穿越时空”。研讨会的前两天将侧重于科学与传播有关MagIC和古地磁数据的基本信息相结合。研讨会的第三天将包括上传数据的实践会议;访问，操作和可视化来自新的和现有数据集的数据;数据模型讨论;以及就新的方向集思广益。 它将汇集来自不同背景，观点和分支学科的科学家，使用古地磁数据库解决地球科学中的科学问题。该计划和这种支持将促进年轻科学家的参与，如博士后和研究生，还有一个旨在扩大参与的推广计划。会议组织者为会议制定了行为守则。研讨会有两个首要目标。首先是更新社区关于改进，修改和新的资源提供给用户的MagIC古地磁数据库。其中包括上传数据的简化方法，发现其他人贡献的数据，使用在线工具进行可视化和分析，以及实施API（应用程序接口）的进展。 组织者还计划收集反馈，以增强MagIC数据库，并提高MagIC与其他数据库的互操作性。第二个目标是让一个多学科的科学家小组参与讨论需要磁性数据来解决跨领域问题的科学问题。四个主题将分配半天，并与MagIC的核心活动密切相关，以及与研究人员对互操作数据发现感兴趣的其他领域的联系。研究重点是“（1）古地磁学和改进地质时标;（2）古地磁学的构造应用;（3）地球历史中磁场的变化;（4）岩石和古地磁学方法和仪器。“这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得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的支持。
