Advancing Cyberinfrastructure for Environmental Research and Education

This initiative aims to strengthen the integration of cyberinfrastructure in environmental research and education. By leveraging advanced computing capabilities, we will enhance modeling, visualization, simulations, and data management. The workshop will produce a white paper to engage stakeholders and identify pressing issues in the field. Participants will discuss ways to foster collaboration between environmental and computer science communities while focusing on the needs and challenges faced in implementing cyberinfrastructure. Join us in shaping the future of environmental research and education through innovative technology.

Presentation Transcript

  1. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION Welcome! 

  2. What is meant by Cyberinfrastructure? • Computing power for modeling, visualization, simulations, data assimilation, prediction • Capacity to archive large data sets • Standards for data integrity and accuracy (metadata) • Connecting data, computation power, sensors, and people in near-real-time through networking technology • Interoperability, common modeling frameworks • Skilled workforce • Access to emerging technology

  3. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION • Workshop Goals: • Produce a white paper for consideration by NSF and the scientific community • Initiate a dialogue between environmental science and computer science communities, and among environmental science disciplines. • Recent Source documents: “Blue Ribbon” report on Cyberinfrastructure; Environmental Research and Education (ERE) report.

  4. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION • White Paper Objectives: • Identify Options for near-term progress • Identify issues requiring further attention • Suggest approaches for dealing with such issues

  5. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION • Cross-Disciplinary Dialogue • A wide range of disciplines, agencies, programs, projects and expertise are represented here • Agenda is structured to enable communication about common challenges and common interests across disciplinary lines • This workshop is intended as an initial step in an ongoing dialogue

  6. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION • Meeting Organization: • Plenary talks will provide overview information, identify big issues, and describe successful activities and exciting plans • Breakout sessions will focus on defining functional challenges and examining implementation issues

  7. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION • Breakout Session Objectives: • Produce text – 5 to 10 pages on questions listed in the agenda, and other questions and issues participants feel are important • Identify major needs, challenges, principles, near-term opportunities, payoffs, and issues requiring further consideration,

  8. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION • Key Cross-cutting Issues: • Fostering computer science/environmental research cooperation • Extending cyberinfrastructure benefits to the desktop of the working scientist • Getting the most out of distributed sensor networks planned by many disciplines • Cyberinfrastructure for environmental education • Persistence of infrastructure

  9. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION • Breakout Session Chairs: • Lee Allison, Kelvin Droegemeier:Collecting Data and Making It Available • Dale Haidvogel and Tom Jordan: Generating and Using Data: Data Assimilation, Analysis, and Modeling • Peter Cornillon and Tim Killeen: Collaboration Tools and Strategies • Jerry Schnoor and Jim Beach: Creating a New Kind of Environmental Scientist

  10. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION • Logistics (continued): • Please sign up for breakout sessions during the first break at 10:30. Sign-up sheets are located on the wall outside the auditorium. • Wireless network is operational, instructions are in the registration packages.

  11. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION • Logistics (continued): • To print, email documents to Sandra Petrie, sjp@ucar.edu, then pick them up at registration desk • For assistance, please see administrative staff at registration desk or Peter Backlund
