2017 MagIC Workshop: Earth's Magnetic Field from the Beginning

磁性信息联盟（MagIC; http：//earthref.org/MAGIC/）是在美国国家科学基金会（NSF）的合作建议下发展起来的。它形成了一个开放的社区数字数据档案的岩石和古地磁数据与门户网站，允许用户免费访问上传，搜索，可视化和下载这些数据，以提高地球科学的研究能力。 该奖项为开放的MagIC研讨会提供支持，地球？的磁场从一开始，在斯克里普斯海洋研究所于2017年1月24日至26日。PI有两个重要目标：（1）教育古地磁界对MagIC数据库的重大修改，包括上传数据和发现他人贡献的数据的简化方法;（2）让更广泛的研究人员参与开发MagIC数据库的动机中概述的主要科学挑战之一。他们选择的课题是4.6Ga至今地球的地磁演化。

The Magnetics Information Consortium (MagIC; http://earthref.org/MAGIC/) has been developedunder collaborative NSF proposals. It forms an open community digital data archive for rock andpaleomagnetic data with web portals, allowing users free access to upload, search, visualize, anddownload these data to improve research capabilities in the Earth Sciences. This award provides support for an open MagIC workshop, Earth?s Magnetic Field from the Beginning, at Scripps Institution of Oceanography on January 24-26, 2017. The PIs have two important goals: (1) to educate the paleomagnetic community about major modifications to the MagIC database including streamlined approaches to uploading their data and discovering those contributed by others; and (2) to engage a broader group of researchers in one of the major scientific challenges outlined in their motivations for developing the MagIC database. The topic they have chosen is thegeomagnetic evolution of Earth from 4.6 Ga to the present.
