The seafloor serves and the primary conduit for mass and heat transfer between the sub-seafloor and the overlying ocean water column, with both operating on vastly different time and mass scales. Dynamics at this interface drive global biogeochemical and geochemical elemental cycles, control global ocean chemistry, and shape the atmosphere and climate systems. Deep sea ecosystems also host some of the most diverse and extreme ecosystems including those inhabiting hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, mid-ocean ridges, ridge flanks, and plate margins. Without data from a wide variety of disciplines, such as geology, petrology, geophysics, hydrogeology, and micro/macro/evolutionary biology, it is not possible to realistically model these important systems and understand the complex interactions between their various physical, chemical, and biological components. Instrumental to understanding processes and dynamics of the deep sea requires integration of the disparate datasets and models that represent and predict the behavior of the components of this complex, important system. The goal of this workshop is to surface requirements in the field of deep sea processes for a major new NSF data and knowledge management initiative (i.e., EarthCube) that is dedicated to revolutionizing geoscience by providing easy access to, discovery of, and visualization of data from across the geo- and environmental sciences. This workshop will bring together ~55 oceanographers from across the relevant disciplines. It will also include cyber/computer science experts. Together workshop participants will collectively define future science goals in this important scientific area and focus on identifying the most critical, widespread cyberinfrastructure and data management issues and problems presently holding back scientific advances in deep sea science in order to guide the development of NSF EarthCube cyberinfrastructure. The workshop will also focus on strategies that help scientists and data that they need to cross sub-discipline barriers to enable more interdisciplinary research to take place. Workshop participants will address topics such as science drivers in deep sea process research in the next 15 years, data and data management needs and problems, and software and visualization needs to help model and understand data. Broader impacts of the work include support of an organization in an EPSCoR state, support of two PIs whose gender is under-represented in the sciences and engineering, and engagement of early career scientists. A virtual component of the workshop will be held to help broaden participation beyond those present on-site.

海底是海底下和上覆海水柱之间质量和热量传递的主要管道，两者在截然不同的时间和质量尺度上运行。 该界面的动力学驱动全球生物地球化学和地球化学元素循环，控制全球海洋化学，并塑造大气和气候系统。深海生态系统还拥有一些最多样化和极端的生态系统，包括栖息在热液喷口、冷泉、洋中脊、洋脊侧翼和板块边缘的生态系统。 如果没有来自地质学、岩石学、地球物理学、水文地质学和微观/宏观/进化生物学等多种学科的数据，就不可能对这些重要系统进行真实的建模并理解其各种物理、化学和物理之间的复杂相互作用。生物成分。为了理解深海的过程和动态，需要集成不同的数据集和模型，以表示和预测这个复杂而重要的系统组件的行为。 本次研讨会的目标是明确深海过程领域对 NSF 重大新数据和知识管理计划（即 EarthCube）的需求，该计划致力于通过提供轻松访问、发现和可视化数据来彻底改变地球科学来自地理和环境科学领域。本次研讨会将汇集来自相关学科的约 55 名海洋学家。它还将包括网络/计算机科学专家。 研讨会参与者将共同确定这一重要科学领域的未来科学目标，并重点确定最关键、最广泛的网络基础设施和数据管理问题以及目前阻碍深海科学进步的问题，以指导 NSF EarthCube 网络基础设施的发展。该研讨会还将重点讨论帮助科学家和他们所需的数据跨越子学科障碍以实现更多跨学科研究的策略。 研讨会参与者将讨论未来 15 年深海过程研究的科学驱动因素、数据和数据管理需求和问题，以及帮助建模和理解数据的软件和可视化需求等主题。这项工作的更广泛影响包括对 EPSCoR 州组织的支持、对科学和工程领域性别代表性不足的两名 PI 的支持，以及早期职业科学家的参与。研讨会的虚拟部分将举行，以帮助扩大现场参与范围。
