Natural processes such river floods, landslides, hurricanes, stream meandering, and coastal erosion continually alter Earth's landscapes, seascapes, and coastlines. From an engineering perspective, such processes can pose hazards to people and can damage infrastructure. From a scientific perspective, these same processes are responsible for shaping the Earth's surface and creating the sedimentary deposits that contain useful resources as well as critical archives of our planet's history. One of the key tools that scientists use to study Earth-surface processes is computer simulation modeling. Computer models, which use equations and algorithms to simulate natural processes, provide a way to perform controlled experiments on geological systems and to compare theory with a rapidly growing body of data about Earth's dynamic environment. Recent advances in both data and computing technology have opened new possibilities for discovery. To unlock this potential, this project, which supports continuing operations of the Community Surface Dynamics Modeling System (CSDMS) Geoinformatics facility, provides training and technology development that will bridge the gap between the power of today’s digital resources and the ability of the Earth-surface processes research community to take full advantage of them. CSDMS combines intellectual merit, in the form of new and improved digital resources for Earth science research, and broader impacts, in the form of training and workforce development for students and early career scientists.Recent advances in both data and cyberinfrastructure have opened new possibilities for understanding the dynamics of Earth's surface. To unlock this potential, the CSDMS facility combines community capacity-building and technology development to bridge the gap between today's powerful cyber resources and the ability of the research community to take full advantage of them. CSDMS provides training, workforce development, online learning resources, and outreach to traditionally underrepresented groups, alongside innovative cyberinfrastructure that speeds the time to science by lowering technical barriers. CSDMS's intellectual merit lies in its contribution toward developing a quantitative, mechanistic understanding of diverse Earth-surface processes. This goal is advanced in part through new technology, such as the ability to launch models from an online repository to a cloud-hosted computing platform, and new tools to make community software contributions more sustainable via shared, auto-tested repositories. CSDMS's broader impacts include education and workforce development, through programs such as a summer school in geoscience computing, annual scientific meetings, and onsite training visits that provide educational opportunities for students and early career scientists at a variety of higher-education institutions.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.

自然过程，河地板，滑坡，飓风，溪流蜿蜒和沿海侵蚀不断改变地球的景观，海景和海岸线。从工程的角度来看，这样的过程可能会对人们造成危害，并可能损害基础设施。从科学的角度来看，这些相同的过程负责塑造地球的表面并创建包含有用资源的沉积沉积物以及我们地球历史上的关键档案。科学家用来研究地球表面过程的关键工具之一是计算机模拟建模。使用方程式和算法来模拟自然过程的计算机模型提供了一种对地质系统进行受控实验的方法，并将理论与有关地球动态环境的迅速增长的数据进行比较。数据和计算技术的最新进展为发现开辟了新的可能性。为了释放这一潜力，该项目支持社区表面动态建模系统（CSDMS）地球信息信息设施的持续运营，它提供了培训和技术开发，这将弥合当今数字资源的力量与地球表面流程的能力之间的差距，从而充分利用了它们。 CSDM以用于地球科学研究的新数字资源的形式结合了知识分子的优点，并以对学生和早期职业科学家的培训和劳动力开发的形式结合了更广泛的影响。为了释放这种潜力，CSDMS设施组合社区能力建设和技术开发，以弥合当今强大的网络资源与研究社区充分利用它们之间的能力之间的差距。 CSDM提供培训，劳动力发展，在线学习资源以及传统代表性不足的群体以及创新的Cyber​​infrasture，通过降低技术障碍来加快科学的时间。 CSDMS的智力优点在于它有助于发展对潜水员地面过程的定量机械理解。该目标是通过新技术提出的，例如能够从在线存储库推出模型到云托管计算平台的能力，以及通过共享，自动测试的存储库更可持续的新工具，以使社区软件贡献更加可持续。 CSDM的更广泛的影响包括教育和劳动力发展，诸如地球科学计算中的暑期学校，年度科学会议以及现场培训访问，为学生和早期职业科学家提供了各种高等教育机构的教育机会。该奖项通过评估了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估了Intelligia the Intellitial and Intellitial and Foundation and Interviatial and Interviatial and Interviatial and Interviatial and Interviatial和Fundertial the Internitial and Interviatial and Interviatial and Interviatial and Interviatial and Intfulitial的支持。
