0225508CrawfordThe GEOscience Network (GEON) project seeks to bring leading-edge information management research to bear on creating a cyberinfrastructure for the solid earth geosciences to interlink multidisciplinary geoscience data sets in 4D space. The need to manage the growing amounts of diverse Earth science data has been recognized through a series of NSF-sponsored community meetings on Geoinformatics. The GEON collaboration between IT researchers, who represent key technology areas relevant to GEON, and Earth science researchers, who represent a broad cross section of Earth science sub-disciplines, will provide the foundation for a national Geoinformatics program.There is a pressing need in the Earth sciences for a national information infrastructure that enables the community to share databases and tools to enable interdisciplinary analysis of networked data sets in studying a wide range of phenomena including the interplay between tectonics and the evolution of sedimentary basins; the role of mountain building in the evolution of climate and life; broader predictive understanding and modeling capabilities of geologic hazards, such as earthquakes and volcanoes; the 4D reconstruction of the Earth through time; and, managing the natural resources of our planet. Each of these problems requires interdisciplinary research to discover relationships among Earth science disciplines, and depends on the community's ability to construct an integrated geoscience information system. The goal of GEON is to develop the necessary IT foundations and create such a system.Many past and on-going projects in the geosciences have produced valuable sub-disciplinary and disciplinary databases. Numerous national centers and organizations such as IRIS, UNAVCO, the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS), the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC), as well as government agencies such as the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), are contributing research and data to the community. Building on this base, the imperative now is to take a step beyond research resulting in disciplinary databases, towards a new paradigm for interdisciplinary information integration and tool sharing via the creation of the GEON cyberinfrastructure. The research products and services arising from GEON will be available to the entire scientific community and will transform the way in which geoscience research is conducted, opening unprecedented avenues for research and collaboration and providing the foundation for creating geoscience collaboratories.***

0225508CrawfordThe Geoscience网络（GEON）项目旨在为建立固体地球地球科学创建网络基础设施的领先信息管理研究，以在4D空间中互相链接多学科地球科学数据集。 通过一系列由NSF赞助的有关地球信息学的社区会议，已经认识到管理不断增长的地球科学数据的需求。 代表与Geon相关的关键技术领域的Geon合作，代表地球科学跨学科的广泛横截面的地球科学研究人员将为国家地理信息学计划提供基础。在地球科学中，迫切的需求是针对国家信息提供数据库和工具的范围分析的国家信息的迫切需求构造与沉积盆地的演变之间的相互作用； 山区建筑在气候和生活发展中的作用； 地震和火山等地质危害的更广泛的预测性理解和建模能力； 随着时间的流逝，地球的4D重建； 并且，管理我们星球的自然资源。这些问题中的每一个都需要跨学科的研究来发现地球科学学科之间的关系，并取决于社区构建综合地球科学信息系统的能力。 Geon的目的是开发必要的IT基础并创建这样的系统。地球科学中的过去和正在进行的项目产生了宝贵的子学科和学科数据库。 许多国家中心和组织，例如IRIS，UNAVCO，国家生态分析与合成中心（NCEAS），南加州地震中心（SCEC）以及美国地质调查局（USGS）等政府机构，为社区贡献了研究和数据。 在这个基础上，当务之急是要迈出一步，而不是研究纪律数据库，朝着通过创建Geon Cyber​​infradstructure的创建跨学科信息集成和工具共享的新范式。 GEON引起的研究产品和服务将用于整个科学界，并将改变地球科学研究的方式，为研究和协作开辟了前所未有的途径，并为建立地球科学合作的基础提供了基础。*** ***
