Collaborative Research: Geoinformatics: Cyberinfrastructure developments for the Magnetics Information Consortium (MagIC)

MagIC项目的目标是为岩石和古地磁数据开发一个开放的社区数字数据档案，其门户网站允许用户自由访问各种格式的档案、搜索和下载数据。 该项目的一部分涉及将在国际地磁学和高层大气物理学协会主持下开发的现有数据库过渡到新的档案库。 该奖项为继续开发和维护MagIC设施以及继续整合PI？的努力与其他在线数据库。 现在MagIC数据库功能齐全，包含大量数据，岩石和古地磁界强烈希望扩展和增强现有的数据分析和可视化工具。MagIC数据库和网站的进一步发展将创建一个网络基础设施，研究人员，教师和学生可以找到和可视化岩石和古地磁数据。 它将提供一个工具来回答日常研究问题或找到解决今天的新途径？在地磁学、气候研究、板块构造学和地球动力学方面，地球科学面临着巨大的挑战。

The goals of the MagIC project have been to develop an open community digital data archive for rock and paleomagnetic data with web portals that allow users free access to archive, search and download data in a broad range of formats. Part of the project has involved the transition of existing databases developed under the auspices of the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA) to the new archive. This award provides funds for the continued development and maintenance of the MagIC facility and for continued integration of the PI?s efforts to operate with other online databases. Now that the MagIC database is functional and contains a critical mass of data, there is a strong desire in the rock and paleomagnetic community to expand and enhance the existing data analysis and visualization tools. The further development of the MagIC database and website will create a Cyberinfrastructure where researchers, teachers and students can find and visualize rock and paleomagnetic data. It will provide a tool to answer daily research questions or to find new pathways in addressing today?s grand challenges in geomagnetism, climate research, plate tectonics and geodynamics.
