This project is supporting a two-day workshop that will be held identify the possible interactions between the Structural Geology and Tectonics community (SGTC) with the EarthCube effort. The workshop will assemble a group of about 40 Structural Geology and Tectonics researchers to define better the cyberinfrastructure needs as well as the required interactions within the community as well as with the EarthCube to take the next steps in creating a more integrated digital framework. This effort includes: 1) establishing science drivers and challenges of the SGTC; 2) identifying the impediments to using data and tools both within and external to the SGTC; 3) listing existing and more critically needed data, tools, and visualization to form a cyberinfrastructure for the community; 4) creating several use cases that demonstrate how the cyberinfrastructure will be used to address the science drivers or provide critical connections for teaching and research; and 5) initiating conversation with existing databases on how to interact constructively. A catalyzing issue of the workshop concerns the nature of field data. Structural data is collected on an extremely wide range of spatial (10-8 m to 104 m) and temporal scales, and the collection requires observation, inference, and interpretation at most of these scales. These data are critical to any tectonic modeling and inference. This data at the core of Structural Geology and Tectonics and presents a fundamental challenge to digital representation/integration that can be aided by the interaction with the EarthCube effort.This project is important for both the scientific and cyberinfrastructure development of the geosciences. Future progress of the geosciences will be based on the integration of rich and diverse datasets. This workshop will identify the needs of one of the most important and data-rich as well as data complex areas in geology. There will be a vast array of intellectually challenging tasks in describing and integrating data across a spectrum of scales as well as granularity.The construction of a cyberinfrastructure for Structural Geology and Tectonics data will make these data accessible to a much larger group of researchers. This field describes and quantitatively documents the surface geology of the Earth. That itself has impacts into individuals, groups, and organizations that study the earth. In addition, the digital presentation of such data can be used by private and governmental organizations across the local to global spectrum. Lastly, the integration of Structural Geology and Tectonics data and models into the EarthCube effort will be fundamental to the success of EarthCube.

该项目正在支持为期两天的研讨会，该研讨会将确定结构地质和构造学界（SGTC）与EarthCube努力之间的可能相互作用。研讨会将组成大约40个结构地质和构造研究人员组成的小组，以更好地定义网络基础设施需求以及社区内部所需的相互作用以及与EarthCube的所需相互作用，以采取下一步的步骤，以创建一个更加集成的数字框架。这项工作包括：1）建立科学驱动力和SGTC的挑战； 2）确定使用SGTC内部和外部数据和工具的障碍； 3）列出现有和更迫切需要的数据，工具和可视化，以形成社区的网络基础设施； 4）创建几种用例，这些用例证明了如何使用网络基础设施来解决科学驱动因素或为教学和研究提供关键的联系； 5）与现有数据库进行对话，讨论如何进行建设性互动。研讨会的催化问题涉及现场数据的性质。结构数据是在非常宽的空间（10-8 m至104 m）和时间尺度上收集的，并且该收集需要在大多数这些尺度上进行观察，推理和解释。这些数据对于任何构造建模和推理至关重要。这些数据是结构地质和构造学的核心，并提出了对数字代表/整合的根本挑战，可以通过与Earthucbube努力的互动来帮助。该项目对于地球科学的科学和网络基础结构发展都很重要。地球科学的未来进步将基于富裕和多样化数据集的整合。该研讨会将确定地质学中最重要和数据复杂领域之一的需求。在描述和整合范围范围和粒度的数据时，将有大量的智力挑战性任务。结构地质和构造数据的网络基础结构的构建将使更大的研究人员可以访问这些数据。该领域描述并定量记录了地球的地面地质。这本身会影响研究地球的个人，群体和组织。此外，该数据的数字介绍可以由当地到全球范围的私人和政府组织使用。最后，结构地质和构造数据和模型与EarthCube的努力的整合将是Earthcube成功的基础。
