ITR/IM: Collaborative Research: Development of a Western North American Volcanic and Intrusive Rock Database

本项目由美国国家科学基金会信息技术研究项目和美国国防部、中国湖海军航空武器中心、地热项目共同资助。在堪萨斯大学、科罗拉多大学、北卡罗莱纳大学和华盛顿卡内基研究所的共同努力下，在美国地质勘探局雷斯顿的协助下，PI将把美国西部、不列颠哥伦比亚省和墨西哥北部从晚白垩纪到全新世的挤压和侵入火成岩的现有年龄、化学和同位素数据汇编成一个可上网的电子数据库。由此产生的产品，即北美西部火山和侵入岩数据库（NAVDAT），将被整合到一个地理信息系统（GIS）中，以使整个研究区域的火山活动的复杂年龄-成分模式可视化。最后，他们还将开发任何必要的关系和图形工具，以使数据库的用户能够解决有关美国西部地质演化和当前火山状态的各种问题。数据输入将在每个PI在其本国机构建立的“节点”上进行。每个PI将负责从文献、大学、和美国能源部的资源，以及在他们专业的地理区域内为火成岩创建元数据。Jeff Grossman博士（美国地质勘探局，雷斯顿）将负责从美国地质勘探局的资源中编译火成岩年龄和NAVDAT数据。NAVDAT的中心枢纽位置将是堪萨斯大学。这里将创建和维护NAVDAT，并生成地球化学和GIS例程的工具箱。基本的NAVDAT IT架构将使用位于堪萨斯地质调查局（KGS）的Oracle关系数据库服务器的组合，与包含web服务器、工具箱、web开发环境和Internet地图服务器的服务器进行通信。KGS将与KU pi合作，在KGS的DBMS服务器上开发、更新和维护NAVDAT的关系数据库组件，整个数据库将由世界各地的研究人员通过当前可用的最小网络浏览器访问。＊＊＊

0112602CarlsonThis grant is supported through funds from both the NSF Information Technology Research Program and the Department of Defense, China Lake Naval Air Weapons Center, Geothermal Program. In a collaborative effort between the Universities of Kansas, Colorado, North Carolina and the Carnegie Institution of Washington, with assistance from the USGS-Reston, the PI's will compile existing age, chemical, and isotopic data from Late Cretaceous to Holocene extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks from the western U.S., British Columbia, and northern Mexico into a web-accessible electronic database. The resultant product, the Western North America Volcanic and Intrusive Rock Database (NAVDAT), will be integrated into a geographic information system (GIS) to allow visualization of complex age-compositional patterns in volcanism throughout the study region. Ultimately, they will also develop any necessary relational and graphical tools to allow users of the database to address a wide variety of issues concerning the geologic evolution and present volcanic state of the western U.S. Data entry will be undertaken at "nodes" established by each PI at their home institutions-each PI will be responsible for data compilation from literature, University, and DOE sources and for the creation of metadata for igneous rocks in the geographic areas of their expertise. Dr. Jeff Grossman (USGS, Reston) will be contracted to compile igneous rock age and data for NAVDAT from USGS sources. The central hub location for NAVDAT will be the University of Kansas. Here NAVDAT will be created and maintained, and a toolbox generated of geochemical and GIS routines. The basic NAVDAT IT architecture will use a combination of an Oracle relational database server, housed in the Kansas Geological Survey (KGS) at KU, in communication with a server housing the web server, the toolbox, a web development environment, and an Internet Map Server. The KGS will work in cooperation with the KU PIs to develop, update, and maintain the relational database component of NAVDAT on the DBMS servers at KGS. The entire database will be accessible by researchers around the world with a currently available, minimal web browser. ***
