Climate, Water and Environment (CWE) sustainability is critical for maintaining the overall well-being of the United States and the world. Addressing the current challenges in CWE sustainability requires knowledge and skills of big data analytics, simulations, high-performance computing, and advanced cyberinfrastructures. Yet, their are inadequate training opportunities on integrating and working with data from different sources available to student for CWE research. These include data quality control, analysis, visualization, and simulations. This project fills this gap by creating a CyberTraining curriculum for CWE sustainability that builds on previous successes and incorporates rapidly-developing technology and community best practices in Findable Accessible Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) Science. This project provides CyberTraining to students, trainers and working professionals using publicly available data, simulation tools, and computing resources. This project develops a CWE CyberTraining curriculum to provide training at three levels: (i) foundation level that can be used across multiple disciplines and audiences; (ii) expert level that teaches domain specific data and cyber tools knowledge in CWE domains; and (iii) developer level that provides advanced cyberinfrastructure training for addressing CWE sustainability problems. This curriculum builds upon a proven flexible modular approach, and can be implemented in the form of a sequence of credit courses, non-credit certificates, and degree certificate programs. This CWE CyberTraining curriculum will be disseminated through an open and scalable online platform to overcome technology barriers and enable broader adoption and community contribution. This unique platform will not only disseminate the curriculum, but also provide access to the tools and resources to co-develop and implement the curriculum. The project is co-led by a multi-disciplinary team that has rich experience in developing in-person and online learning modules, cyber-enabled data, computation tools, and platforms driven by community needs, and additionally incorporating these tools in their undergraduate and graduate courses. This project will directly train students at five universities, three community colleges and one high school through its partnership with minority serving institutions. This project is co-funded by a collaboration between the Directorate for Geosciences and Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure to support AI/ML and open science activities in the 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.

气候，水和环境（CWE）的可持续性对于维持美国和世界的整体福祉至关重要。解决CWE可持续发展的当前挑战需要大数据分析，模拟，高性能计算和先进的网络基础设施的知识和技能。然而，他们的培训机会不足，从不同的来源提供给学生CWE研究数据的整合和工作。这些包括数据质量控制、分析、可视化和模拟。该项目通过为CWE可持续发展创建网络培训课程来填补这一空白，该课程建立在以前的成功基础上，并在可发现的可互操作和可重用（FAIR）科学中融入了快速发展的技术和社区最佳实践。该项目使用公开的数据、模拟工具和计算资源为学生、培训人员和工作专业人员提供网络培训。该项目开发了CWE网络培训课程，提供三个级别的培训：（i）基础级别，可用于多个学科和受众;（ii）专家级别，教授CWE领域的特定领域数据和网络工具知识;以及（iii）开发人员级别，提供高级网络基础设施培训，以解决CWE可持续性问题。该课程建立在经过验证的灵活模块化方法基础上，可以以学分课程，非学分证书和学位证书课程序列的形式实施。CWE网络培训课程将通过一个开放和可扩展的在线平台传播，以克服技术障碍，并实现更广泛的采用和社区贡献。这个独特的平台不仅将传播课程，还将提供获得共同开发和实施课程的工具和资源的机会。该项目由一个多学科团队共同领导，该团队在开发面对面和在线学习模块，网络数据，计算工具和社区需求驱动的平台方面拥有丰富的经验，并将这些工具纳入其本科和研究生课程。该项目将通过与少数民族服务机构的伙伴关系，直接培训五所大学、三所社区学院和一所高中的学生。该项目由地球科学理事会和高级网络基础设施办公室共同资助，旨在支持地球科学领域的人工智能/机器学习和开放科学活动。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。
