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.

Magnetics信息联盟（Magic）提供了一个基于网络的研究机构，可让研究人员和其他用户免费访问存档，搜索，可视化，操纵，下载和重用数据，以解决地球科学中许多巨大的挑战。在过去的六年中，贡献者的数量上传数据的数量超过了三倍，魔法使用和数据集下载的数量增长了六倍以上。由于社区驱动的统一魔术数据模型，并且由于魔术设施部署了高度可扩展的数据库和高度适应性的Web界面，因此可能会大大增加贡献者，贡献和数据使用情况。尽管在互联网上仍然存在明显的数据稀疏性，可以很容易找到，可访问，可互操作和可重复使用的数据，这些公平的数据原则位于魔术的核心。此外，在开发和使用现代数据分析方法中，培训下一代研究人员和代表性不足的群体成员构成了魔术设施中的另一个核心组成部分。在接下来的三年中，魔术设施将集中精力进行增强，以确保在广泛的亚域科学学科，数据处理的透明度和可靠的文档中有效访问数据，并允许研究人员和学生用户可以轻松解决可重复性和标准化问题。魔术设施将开发几种新型的地球信息技术产品，包括使用模板笔记本在https://jupyterhub.earthref.org上的模板笔记本，并采用指导步骤进行编程编辑，可视化，重现数据分析结果，并更新用户贡献而不留下browsers;带有特色过滤器的两个专用子域视图，相关数据摘要以及特定于子域​​的计算和可视化；一种数据集丰富工具，以进一步减少为发布在线数据贡献的努力；以及超级用户的私人工作区，以支持魔术中的大型设施和实验室数据管理需求。 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 analyzed paleomagnetic data) and preexisting IRM rock magnetic computational tools into the魔术后端服务器允许在Jupyterhub和EarthCube的Pangeo上进行高级的在线计算，交互式可视化以及集成；与其他在线数据存储库中互操作的魔术，这些存储库也遵循公平的原则；并通过吸引历史上代表性不足的群体和各种机构类型的研究人员来继续加强魔术作为社区设施。在接下来的三年中，魔术设施将被转移到Fiesta（综合地球科学和技术应用程序框架）技术，该技术将在EarthCube的资助下最终确定。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来获得支持的。
