Carboniferous-Permian Paleoclimate Data System

0746318snyder这个项目的目标是利用古地层引擎（www.paleostrat.org）创建一个深时古气候研究数据库。像所有地理信息学设施一样，古strat支持科学，帮助建立科学研究社区，并帮助确保研究结果尽可能广泛地可用。关于古气候数据的初步工作将集中在石炭纪-二叠纪，以PIs和相关的国家和国际同事的研究优势为基础，并得到关键合作小组的支持：GeoSystems（一个以社区为基础的努力，旨在研究整个地质时期的地球气候和相关系统）；国际地质科学联合会国际地层学委员会（ICS）；ICS石炭系和二叠纪地层小组委员会；以及新成立的国际石炭-二叠纪会议（ICCP）古气候工作组。研究团体和这些团体的兴趣源于晚古生代冈瓦纳冰河时代对理解地球气候系统的至关重要性。古地层是为地球科学研究人员和教师设计的基础设施平台，通过加强研究和教育过程为社区服务。它支持科学和教育，但本身并不从事科学。古地层为学生提供了探索真实地层学数据的机会，作为基础学习工具。博伊西州立大学地球科学系的一个内部团队正在开发教学模块。这些努力的结果将在古地层网站上公布，并在各种专业会议上传播。

0746318SnyderThe goal of this project is to create a database for deep-time paleoclimate research utilizing the PaleoStrat engine (www.paleostrat.org). PaleoStrat, like all geoinformatics facilities, supports science, helps to build science research communities, and helps to insure that the results of that research are as widely available as possible. Initial efforts regarding paleoclimate data will focus on the Carboniferous-Permian, building on the research strengths of the PIs and associated national and international colleagues and from the support of key cooperating groups: GeoSystems (a community based effort aimed at examining Earth's climate and linked systems throughout geologic time); International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) of the international Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS); the ICS subcommissions on Carboniferous and Permian stratigraphy; and a newly formed working group on paleoclimate of the International Congress on the Carboniferous and Permian (ICCP). The interest of the research community and these groups stems from the critical importance of the Late Paleozoic Gondwana ice age to understanding Earth's climate system. PaleoStrat is designed as an infrastructure platform for Earth Science researchers and teachers and serves the community by enhancing the research and education process ? it supports science and education and does not itself do science. PaleoStrat offers students the opportunity of exploring real stratigraphic-based data as a fundamental learning tool. Teaching modules are being developed by an internal team at the Department of Geosciences at Boise State University. The results of these efforts will be available on the PaleoStrat web site and disseminated at various professional meetings.
