EarthCube Solicitation Update

EarthCube is a community-driven initiative aiming to transform geosciences research through the development of a next-generation cyberinfrastructure. This initiative aims to address the needs of big, medium, and small science activities within the geosciences, enabling global data discovery, achieving interoperability, and integrating data across disciplines.

  4. What the Geosciences Need • Getting Science done now and in the future • Science drivers and aspirations • Identifying and addressing barriers and challenges • Similar barriers with diverse solutions but no cross-communication • Assessing the distribution of resources (data and CI) and access to them • EarthCube must address the needs of big, medium, and small science activities. • Developing a systematic approach to the multifaceted and multivariate conduct of research within the geosciences • NSF can act as a facilitator

  5. EarthCube Vision • Transform the conduct of geosciences research with the next generation CI . • Create effective community-driven cyberinfrastructure. • Enable global data discovery within the geosciences • Achieve interoperability and data integration across disciplines.

  6. The EarthCube Strategy DataOne CUASHI Unidata • The process must • Engage all stakeholders: Geosciences end-users • Geosciences and CI facilities • CI and Computer Science specialists • EarthCube built on 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

  7. EarthCube’s Iterative Process EarthCube designed in a step-wise fashion to accommodate needs, change and new developments. Next Opportunities Community Assessment Community Assessment Next Opportunities YEAR 1 YEAR 2 YEAR 3 10 Years
