The Magnetics Information Consortium (MagIC) provides a web-based research facility that allows researchers and other users free access to archive, search, visualize, manipulate, download, and reuse data that address many grand challenges in the geosciences. Over the past six years, the number of contributors uploading data more than tripled and MagIC usage and dataset downloads increased more than sixfold. These large increases in contributors, contributions, and data usage are possible because of a community-driven unified MagIC data model and because the MagIC Facility deploys highly scalable databases and a highly adaptable web interface. Although there is still a noticeable sparsity of data on the internet that can be characterized as being easily findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable—these FAIR data principles lie at the heart of MagIC. In addition, training of the next generation of researchers and members of underrepresented groups in the development and use of modern data analysis methods form another central component in the MagIC Facility. In the next three years, the MagIC Facility will focus its efforts on making enhancements to ensure efficient access to data in a wide range of subdomain science disciplines, transparency in data processing, and reliable documentation—altogether to allow questions of reproducibility and standardization to be readily addressed by researcher and student users. The MagIC Facility will develop several novel geoinformatics products including an Integrated Contribution Development Environment using template notebooks on https://jupyterhub.earthref.org with guided steps for programmatically editing, visualizing, reproducing data analysis results, and updating user contributions without leaving the browser; two specialized Subdomain Views with featured filters, relevant data summaries, and subdomain-specific calculations and visualizations; a Dataset Enrichment tool to further reduce efforts to prepare an online data contribution for publication; and Superuser Private Workspaces to support large facility and laboratory data management needs within MagIC. In particular, the new team from Oregon State University, the Institute for Rock Magnetism (IRM) at the University of Minnesota, University of California, Berkeley, and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at University of California, San Diego, will work collaboratively to integrate PmagPy (an open-source and cross-platform software package for curating and analyzing paleomagnetic data) and preexisting IRM rock magnetic computational tools into the MagIC back-end server to allow for advanced online calculations, interactive visualizations, and integration on JupyterHub and EarthCube’s Pangeo; to make MagIC interoperable with other online data repositories that also follow FAIR principles; and to keep strengthening MagIC as a community facility by engaging researchers from historically underrepresented groups and varied institution types. Over the next three years, the MagIC Facility will be transferred to FIESTA (Framework for Integrated Earth Science and Technology Applications) technology that is being finalized under funding from EarthCube.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.

Magics Information Consortium（MagIC）提供了一个基于网络的研究设施，允许研究人员和其他用户免费访问存档，搜索，可视化，操作，下载和重用数据，以解决地球科学中的许多重大挑战。在过去的六年里，上传数据的贡献者数量增加了两倍多，MagIC的使用和数据集下载量增加了六倍多。贡献者、贡献和数据使用的大幅增加是可能的，因为社区驱动的统一MagIC数据模型，以及MagIC设施部署了高度可扩展的数据库和高度适应性的Web界面。尽管互联网上的数据仍然非常稀少，但这些数据可以被描述为容易找到，访问，互操作和可重用-这些FAIR数据原则是MagIC的核心。此外，培训下一代研究人员和代表性不足群体的成员开发和使用现代数据分析方法是MagIC设施的另一个核心组成部分。在接下来的三年里，MagIC设施将集中精力进行改进，以确保有效地访问数据在广泛的子域科学学科，数据处理的透明度，和可靠的文件，总让问题的可重复性和标准化容易解决的研究人员和学生用户。MagIC设施将开发几种新的地理信息学产品，包括使用www.example.com上的模板笔记本的综合贡献开发环境https://jupyterhub.earthref.org，其中有指导步骤，可在不离开浏览器的情况下以编程方式编辑、可视化、复制数据分析结果和更新用户贡献;两个专门的子域视图，带有特色过滤器、相关数据摘要和子域特定计算和可视化;一个数据集丰富工具，以进一步减少准备在线数据贡献的工作;和超级用户私人工作空间，以支持MagIC内的大型设施和实验室数据管理需求。特别是，来自俄勒冈州州立大学、明尼苏达大学岩石磁性研究所、加州大学伯克利分校和圣地亚哥加州大学斯克里普斯海洋学研究所的新团队，将与PmagPy合作，（一个用于管理和分析古地磁数据的开源和跨平台软件包）和预先存在的Magicrock磁计算工具到MagIC后端服务器，以允许先进的在线计算，交互式可视化，并集成在MagicyterHub和EarthCube的Pangeo上;使MagIC与其他遵循FAIR原则的在线数据存储库互操作;并通过吸引来自历史上代表性不足的群体和各种机构类型的研究人员，不断加强MagIC作为社区设施的作用。在接下来的三年里，MagIC设施将转移到FIESTA（地球科学与技术综合应用框架）技术，该技术正在EarthCube的资助下完成。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。
