Cyberinfrastructure Community Building Education CHRONOS’s purpose • Transforming Earth history research by seamlessly integrating geoscience databases and tools • Three main initiatives: • cyberinfrastructure • community building • education www.chronos.org
Cyberinfrastructure Community Building Education CHRONOS: It’s about time! • Time is the intellectual theme • A team of geoscientists and IT specialists creating a cyberinfrastructure to deliver open access to a global federation of Earth history databases, tools, and services www.chronos.org
Cyberinfrastructure Community Building Education CHRONOS’s stakeholders • Academic, government, and industrial scientists • Autonomous databases, affiliated science initiatives, and data and tool contributors • Educators, students, and policy makers www.chronos.org
Cyberinfrastructure Community Building Education Cyberinfrastructure activities • Conceive, build, and support the robust system of integrated databases, tools, visualization, and services • Integration of heterogeneous databases • Database development • Tool development • Service development www.chronos.org
