What is EarthCube? • Dynamic Earth • Changing Climate • Water: Changing Perspectives • Earth & Life • Geosphere-Biospheric Connection Transform the conduct of data-enabled geoscience-related research. Create effective community-driven cyberinfrastructure. Allow global data discovery and knowledge management. Achieve interoperability and data integration across disciplines.
EarthCube is a Collaboration • Between the NSF GEO directorate and the Office of Cyberinfrastructure (OCI) • Between geo, atmosphere, ocean, computer, information, and social scientists
Why EarthCube? Nature does not recognize separate disciplines. EarthCube will democratize access to data. EarthCube will increase research time by reducing time needed to find, access, and analyze data. EarthCube will enable more interdisciplinary research and the pursuit of new questions. EarthCube will accelerate the pace of discovery. EarthCube will give all scientists the same chance of making major contributions regardless of institution size or institutional endowment.
GEO Is Ready Cyberinfrastructure (CI) is part of the research fabric of geo, atmosphere and ocean sciences These scientists are sophisticated CI users and creators NSF and other agencies support substantial infrastructure and research that will form the foundation of EarthCube Community is connected by the science and collegial relationships
