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

这笔赠款由美国国家科学基金会信息技术研究计划和国防部地热计划中国湖海军航空武器中心提供资金支持。在堪萨斯大学、科罗拉多大学、北卡罗来纳大学和华盛顿卡内基研究所的合作下，在USGS-Reston的协助下，PI将把来自美国西部、不列颠哥伦比亚省和墨西哥北部的晚白垩世到全新世喷出和侵入的火成岩的现有年龄、化学和同位素数据汇编到一个可上网的电子数据库中。由此产生的产品--北美西部火山和侵入岩数据库(NAVDAT)将纳入一个地理信息系统，以便对整个研究区域的火山活动复杂的年龄成分模式进行可视化。最终，他们还将开发任何必要的关系和图形工具，使数据库用户能够解决与美国西部地质演化和当前火山状态有关的各种问题。数据录入将在每个PI在其国内机构建立的“节点”进行-每个PI将负责从文献、大学和能源部来源汇编数据，并创建其专业地理区域内火成岩的元数据。杰夫·格罗斯曼博士(美国地质勘探局，莱斯顿)将与美国地质调查局签订合同，从美国地质勘探局的资料中为NAVDAT汇编火成岩年龄和数据。NAVDAT的中心枢纽将设在堪萨斯大学。这里将创建和维护NAVDAT，并生成一个地球化探和地理信息系统例程工具箱。基本的NAVDAT IT架构将使用安装在堪萨斯大学堪萨斯地质调查局(KGS)的Oracle关系数据库服务器与容纳网络服务器、工具箱、网络开发环境和互联网地图服务器的服务器进行通信。KGS将与KU Pis合作，在KGS的DBMS服务器上开发、更新和维护NAVDAT的关系数据库组成部分。世界各地的研究人员可以通过目前可用的最小网络浏览器访问整个数据库。***

0112738GlaznerThis 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. ***
