Data Services in Support of Marine Geoscience Research: Preservation, Synthesis and Access

该项目为共享海洋地质和地球物理数据的设施提供持续支持。用户可以在新的研究项目中下载和使用来自全球海洋的数据。软件允许科学家、教育工作者和学生轻松地探索和可视化海底。地形综合集成海底和陆地数据供研究人员和公众使用。更广泛的影响包括为用户社区举办讲习班，并让少数民族服务机构的暑期本科生参与其中。该项目支持补充性学科数据服务，重点是保存和获取在全球海洋中获得的海洋地质和地球物理（MGG）数据。海洋地球科学数据系统（MGDS）汇集了有关海底和海底的学科数据，并提供数据文档和保存服务，支持数据的发布、发现和再利用。全球多分辨率地形图（GMRT）合成是一种多分辨率数字高程模型（DEM），它将多波束测深数据与其他公开可用的高程数据无缝集成，为跨学科研究人员和公众提供按需定制的地图和高程数据产品。可视化和数据发现工具GeoMapApp （GMA）提供了基于地图的定量访问已发布的和社区来源的地球科学数据集，包括GMRT，并使研究人员能够在互补数据的背景下可视化和分析自己的数据。MGDS、GMRT和GeoMapApp的组合数据服务确保了海洋地球科学数据的可查找性、可访问性、可互操作性和可重用性（FAIR），并且每个系统处理的数据管理的互补方面为这些独特的、时空稀疏的观测数据增加了价值。通过该项目公开提供的工具和整理的数据集支持学科和跨学科的研究和教育。本项目由海洋科学司海洋地质与地球物理项目和极地项目办公室南极项目支持。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

This project provides continued support for a facility that shares marine geology and geophysics data. Users can download and use data from the global oceans for new research projects. Software allows scientists, educators, and students to easily explore and visualize the seafloor. A topography synthesis integrates seafloor and land data for use by researchers and the public. Broader impacts include workshops to the user community and engagement of summer undergraduate students from Minority Serving Institutions.This project supports complementary disciplinary data services focused on the preservation and access of marine geology and geophysics (MGG) data acquired throughout the global ocean. The Marine Geoscience Data System (MGDS) curates a coherent collection of disciplinary data about the seafloor and subseafloor, and provides data documentation and preservation services that support data publication, discovery and re-use. The Global Multi-Resolution Topography (GMRT) synthesis is a multi-resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) that seamlessly integrates curated multibeam bathymetry data with other publicly available elevation data to deliver custom maps and elevation data products on-demand for interdisciplinary researchers and the public. The visualization and data discovery tool GeoMapApp (GMA) provides map-based quantitative access to published and community-sourced geoscience data sets, including GMRT, and empowers researchers to visualize and analyze their own data within the context of complementary data. The combined data services of MGDS, GMRT, and GeoMapApp ensure that marine geoscientific data are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR), and the complementary aspects of data stewardship handled by each system adds value to these unique and spatiotemporally sparse observational data. The tools and curated data collections that are made publicly available through this project support disciplinary and transdisciplinary research and education.This project is supported by the Marine Geology and Geophysics program in the Division of Ocean Sciences and the Antarctic program in the Office of Polar Programs.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.
