  1. NSF and EnvironmentalCyberinfrastructure Margaret Leinen Environmental Cyberinfrastructure Workshop, NCAR 2002

  2. A brief history of “cyberinfrastructure” at NSF • 2000: • Community and NSF concern about the asymmetrical development of computer power and tools to use the power • CISE funds a number of large scale infrastructure proposals as part of the Information Technology Research priority area • Late 2000 CISE proposes a “cyberinfrastructure” component to the ITR

  3. networking data mgt cycles training software Cyberinfrastructure data manipulation

  4. Changes in Environmental Education • New demands for curricular materials • Connect data on Earth’s physical and biotic components • Include recent research data and results • Discovery-based learning • Hands-on activities • Consideration of social implications in decision-making exercises

  5. Needs in Environmental Education • Digital Libraries for data collections and images • Tools for manipulation of data and discovery activities • Communications networks for access and collaborations • Support services for contributors, teachers, and students

  6. Environmental Cyberinfrastructure Spatial data challenges: e.g. Merging digital imagery with digital data Cyberinfrastructure for discipline science Networks, software, data manipulation, data management, training Compute cycles
