Presentation Transcript

  1. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION Welcome! 

  2. What is meant by Cyberinfrastructure? • Computing power for modeling, visualization, simulations, data assimilation, prediction • Capacity to archive large data sets • Standards for data integrity and accuracy (metadata) • Connecting data, computation power, sensors, and people in near-real-time through networking technology • Interoperability, common modeling frameworks • Skilled workforce • Access to emerging technology

  3. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION • Workshop Goals: • Produce a white paper for consideration by NSF and the scientific community • Initiate a dialogue between environmental science and computer science communities, and among environmental science disciplines. • Recent Source documents: “Blue Ribbon” report on Cyberinfrastructure; Environmental Research and Education (ERE) report.

  4. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION • White Paper Objectives: • Identify Options for near-term progress • Identify issues requiring further attention • Suggest approaches for dealing with such issues

  5. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION • Cross-Disciplinary Dialogue • A wide range of disciplines, agencies, programs, projects and expertise are represented here • Agenda is structured to enable communication about common challenges and common interests across disciplinary lines • This workshop is intended as an initial step in an ongoing dialogue

  6. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION • Meeting Organization: • Plenary talks will provide overview information, identify big issues, and describe successful activities and exciting plans • Breakout sessions will focus on defining functional challenges and examining implementation issues

  7. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION • Breakout Session Objectives: • Produce text – 5 to 10 pages on questions listed in the agenda, and other questions and issues participants feel are important • Identify major needs, challenges, principles, near-term opportunities, payoffs, and issues requiring further consideration,

  8. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION • Key Cross-cutting Issues: • Fostering computer science/environmental research cooperation • Extending cyberinfrastructure benefits to the desktop of the working scientist • Getting the most out of distributed sensor networks planned by many disciplines • Cyberinfrastructure for environmental education • Persistence of infrastructure

  9. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION • Breakout Session Chairs: • Lee Allison, Kelvin Droegemeier:Collecting Data and Making It Available • Dale Haidvogel and Tom Jordan: Generating and Using Data: Data Assimilation, Analysis, and Modeling • Peter Cornillon and Tim Killeen: Collaboration Tools and Strategies • Jerry Schnoor and Jim Beach: Creating a New Kind of Environmental Scientist

  10. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION • Logistics (continued): • Please sign up for breakout sessions during the first break at 10:30. Sign-up sheets are located on the wall outside the auditorium. • Wireless network is operational, instructions are in the registration packages.

  11. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION • Logistics (continued): • To print, email documents to Sandra Petrie, sjp@ucar.edu, then pick them up at registration desk • For assistance, please see administrative staff at registration desk or Peter Backlund
