  1. DLESE as a Portal to Major Research Equipment Presented at AGU meeting December, 2000

  2. Outline • Major Research Equipment (MRE) • Transforming Geosciences • DLESE as a portal to observational discovery • DLESE as an integrator National Science Foundation

  3. Emerging Observational Paradigms • MRE Candidates • HIAPER • Earthscope • Ocean Observations • NEON • New concepts in observational “networks” • SuomiNET • UNAVCO • Unidata • GPS Met / COSMIC National Science Foundation

  4. HIAPER Earthscope • USArray • San Andreas Fault Observatory • Plate Boundary Observatory, • InSAR •Weather • Climate •Atm. Chemistry • Other Observations Ocean Observations NEON • Role of Ocean in Climate • Provide a national user facility for field biology • Common distributed instrumentation connected as an enterprise • Facilitate predictive modeling through data sharing and synthesis • Fluids & Life in the Ocean Crust • Dynamics of Oceanic Lithosphere & Imaging Earth’s Interior • Coastal Ocean Perturbation & Processes • Turbulent Mixing & Biophysical Interactions • Ecosystem Dynamic & Biodiversity MRE Projects That Will Transform Understanding of the Earth System National Science Foundation

  5. COSMIC Soundings in a Day More than 180 sites registered Distribution of GPS Sites (~5000) U WI300 MBGOES images IDD Sources & Daily Volumes • SuomiNET SUNYA10 MBlightning FSL40 MBprofiler NOAAport600 MBNWS & WMO data • UNAVCO • Unidata Internet Data Distribution (IDD) delivering >200 GB (aggregate) to ~150 sites, in near-real time • GPS Met/ COSMIC Full-res 88D100 MB(per radar)U WA NIDS images3,000 MB(all radars)via WSI Hi-res 88D400 MB(1 radar)U OK NCEP hi-res model fields 5,000 MBvia Goddard Hi-res 88D400 MB(1 radar)future ... Red dots are current radiosonde sites. Green dots are COSMIC soundings in a day. International opportunity Emerging Observational Paradigms New concepts in observational “networks” National Science Foundation

  6. Transforming GeosciencesEvery great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.   -- John Dewey • Emerging and planned observational systems will profoundly change our view of the Earth System • A simultaneous transformation of the “education process” will be necessary • Harnessing IT • New approaches to teach complexity of the Earth System • Emphasis on not only the observations, but the observational system • Integration of Education and Research -- an inevitable outcome National Science Foundation

  7. DLESE as a portal to observational discovery – Now • Immediate Objectives – DAtaset Working Group (DAWG) • to explore incorporating datasets into a digital library with an educational mission. • How can DLESE • Facilitate discovery across distributed data archives • Provide tools to help instructors and learners parse, process, and visualize datasets • Facilitate the integration of seemingly disparate datasets, and • Facilitate the development and dissemination of educational content that utilizes datasets and datastreams. National Science Foundation

  8. DLESE as an Integrator – Future • How can DLESE serve as valuable portal for • scientists and educators to demonstrate discovery through observation and • a context for integrating the contributions from discipline-oriented major research facilities to a holistic view of the Earth System • As a portal to the Earth System, DLESE will help define “integrating research and education” for the Geosciences National Science Foundation

  9. "I believe that education is the fundamental method of social progress and reform. All reforms which rest simply upon the law, or the threatening of certain penalties, or upon changes in mechanical or outward arrangements, are transitory and futile.... But through education society can formulate its own purposes, can organize its own means and resources, and thus shape itself with definiteness and economy in the direction in which it wishes to move.... Education thus conceived marks the most perfect and intimate union of science and art conceivable in human experience." --John Dewey,My Pedagogic Creed, 1897 Concluding Remarks • DLESE will be more than an innovative educational tool • DLESE will serve as a portal for the integrating the disciplines comprising Geosciences • DLESE will be the Geosciences’ model of how to integrating research and education • Transforming more than the immediate National Science Foundation
