Building Upon the EarthCube Community. A Geoscience and Cyberinfrastructure Workshop

将举行为期两天的“建立地球立方体社区”研讨会，以发起一项将来自学术界、非营利组织和工业界的参与者聚集在一起的努力。这次讲习班的目的是继续地球立方体倡议带来的势头，该倡议包括地球科学家和网络基础设施专家之间的协同互动。特别鼓励早期职业参与者参与，以确保这些跨学科合作在他们职业生涯的发展过程中更好地满足他们的需求。这次地球科学/网络基础设施讲习班将在科学和技术专家之间激发协同效应和发现，以推进网络基础设施和地球科学研究的转型目标。为了促进合作和思想交流，为期两天的研讨会将包括尖端科学讲座、演示、可执行笔记本、海报、动手活动以及关于最佳利用技术促进科学发展的互动会议。以地球立方体社区讲习班为基础的建设将启动新一代科学和技术专家的合作，他们将大大有助于增加国家科学基金会和其他联邦资助研究成果的影响，从而增加公众和公开获取数据的机会。为此，研讨会将通过20个旅行奖项支持职业早期参与者，优先考虑属于传统上在地球科学中代表性较低的群体的个人。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

A two day “Building Upon the EarthCube Community” workshop will take place to launch an effort which will bring together participants from academia, non-profits, and industry. The intent of this workshop is to continue the momentum brought upon by the EarthCube initiative consisting of synergistic interactions between geoscientists and cyberinfrastructure experts. Early-career participants are especially encouraged to participate to ensure that these interdisciplinary collaborations better serve their needs as they advance through their careers. This geoscience/cyberinfrastructure workshop will spark synergies and discoveries among science and technology experts to advance the goal of transforming research in cyberinfrastructure and the geosciences. To spark collaboration and the sharing of ideas, the two-day workshop will be designed to include cutting edge science talks, demonstrations, executable notebooks, posters, hands-on activities, as well as interactive sessions on making the best use of technologies to advance science. The Building Upon the EarthCube Community Workshop will kick-start the collaborations of a new generation of science and technology experts who will significantly contribute to increasing the impact of the output of NSF and other federally-funded research thereby increasing public and open access to data. To this end, the workshop will support early-career participants through twenty travel awards, with priority given to individuals belonging to groups traditionally underrepresented 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.
