  1. Foundations for EarthCube PURPOSE: “To understand more deeply the planet and its interactions will require the geosciences to take an increasingly holistic approach, exploring knowledge coming from all scientific and engineering disciplines.” CALL TO ACTION: “Over the next decade, the geosciences community commits to developing a framework to understand and predict responses of the Earth as a system—from the space-atmosphere boundary to the core, including the influences of humans and ecosystems.” NSF GEO Vision report

  2. Motivations • Interdisciplinary Science Questions • Big, Heterogeneous Data issues • Communities that are poorly served/have no community resources • ~$100M on CI in GEO alone http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/ eop/ostp/library/publicaccesspolicy Federal Science Agencies Geoscientist

  5. Community Motivations State of the Geosciences: • Getting Science done now and in the future--Science drivers and aspirations • Similar barriers and challenges across communities • There are many similar activities/solutions to barriers without much cross-communication • Assessing distribution of resources (data and CI) and access to them Top Six Barriers to Sharing Data (survey): • No time/Not enough time for QA/QC • No repository or known repository • Inadequate standards, standardized formats, etc. • Want to publish first/not be scooped • File size too large/server size too small • No credit/incentive for sharing

  6. EarthScope Workshop Ensemble Assimilation Workshop • Considerable difficulty accessing data--heterogeneity; standards and formats • Legacy Data • Data Integration • Errors, uncertainty, reproducibility • Scaling algorithms; moving big data • Too much overhead to integrate data • No easy to use standards and frameworks • Significant time required to prepare, process data, esp students • barriers to collaboration between geoscientists and CS, Math, Statistics

  7. The EarthCube Strategy DataOne CUASHI Unidata • The process must • Engage all stakeholders: Geosciences end-users • Geosciences and CI facilities • CI and Computer Science specialists • Build upon existing resources, understanding that different geosciences communities are not uniformly served • Build EarthCube iteratively, with community input and assessment in yearly intervals NCAR IEDA IRIS OOI

  8. Timeline Roadmaps/ Frameworks • EAGER & Wkshop Phase Strategic Portfolio of Activities First DCL Aug-Sep 2012 Dec 2011-June 2012 Dec 2012 June2012 June 2011 Nov 2011 • JuneCharrette Solicitation • FirstCharrette FY 2013-FY 2015

  9. FY13 Themes: Engage Stakeholders Geoscientists Academic Researchers Geosciences Facilities Students Industry • Governance • Community • Engagement Geo-ed Computer Scientists • Architecture • Resource • Leveraging Geosciences Cyberinfrastructure CI Experts Builders CI Resources Data Providers

  10. How Will It All Fit Together:Phased Approach NSF Review Community- Run Status Assessment

  11. Guiding Principles

  12. Questions and Comments? earthcube@nsf.gov

  13. Governance Test Enterprise Governance • Two stage process • Facilitate the creation of a terms of reference engaging the appropriate organizations and people • Demonstrate the terms of reference • Coordinate, organize and set priorities for a complex set of activities that will change over time

  14. Community • Engagement Research Coordination Networks RCN • Geoscientists • RCN Output Steering Committee; Coordination Activities; Collaborations • Planning activity for geosciences communities • Shared resources • Representative plans for needed CI • Data/CI standards • Multi-disciplinary is preferred • Communication and Participation Required

  15. EarthCube Amendment II • Resource • Leveraging • Architecture • May 22 deadline • Building Blocks • 4-6 awards; 2yrs; up to$2m • Conceptual Designs • 3-5 awards; 2yrs; $300k

  16. Resource • Leveraging Building Blocks Input from EC, end-users, architecture Initial integration of current resources Next Building Blocks Stage 2 Outcomes • Demo utility to geosciences communities within 24 months • How does the approach extend and fit into “ecosystem” Proposals must • Have credible links to end-users geosciences communities—not just a subset • Motivate how the solution might be broadly applied across ALL geosciences community

  17. Architecture Conceptual Designs Software Stogare Communities Networks Compute, Initial planning for Enterprise Architecture • CI Architecture Teams • Understand the landscape of existing resources • Consider innovative designs for an evolving system • Output Conceptual Design Reports • Engage end users • Presented to other EarthCubers • Discussion about different approaches • Phased Approach
