The Magnetics Information Consortium (MagIC) provides a web-based research facility that allows researchers and other users free access to archive, search, visualize, manipulate, download, and reuse data that address many grand challenges in the geosciences. Over the past six years, the number of contributors uploading data more than tripled and MagIC usage and dataset downloads increased more than sixfold. These large increases in contributors, contributions, and data usage are possible because of a community-driven unified MagIC data model and because the MagIC Facility deploys highly scalable databases and a highly adaptable web interface. Although there is still a noticeable sparsity of data on the internet that can be characterized as being easily findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable—these FAIR data principles lie at the heart of MagIC. In addition, training of the next generation of researchers and members of underrepresented groups in the development and use of modern data analysis methods form another central component in the MagIC Facility. In the next three years, the MagIC Facility will focus its efforts on making enhancements to ensure efficient access to data in a wide range of subdomain science disciplines, transparency in data processing, and reliable documentation—altogether to allow questions of reproducibility and standardization to be readily addressed by researcher and student users. The MagIC Facility will develop several novel geoinformatics products including an Integrated Contribution Development Environment using template notebooks on https://jupyterhub.earthref.org with guided steps for programmatically editing, visualizing, reproducing data analysis results, and updating user contributions without leaving the browser; two specialized Subdomain Views with featured filters, relevant data summaries, and subdomain-specific calculations and visualizations; a Dataset Enrichment tool to further reduce efforts to prepare an online data contribution for publication; and Superuser Private Workspaces to support large facility and laboratory data management needs within MagIC. In particular, the new team from Oregon State University, the Institute for Rock Magnetism (IRM) at the University of Minnesota, University of California, Berkeley, and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at University of California, San Diego, will work collaboratively to integrate PmagPy (an open-source and cross-platform software package for curating and analyzing paleomagnetic data) and preexisting IRM rock magnetic computational tools into the MagIC back-end server to allow for advanced online calculations, interactive visualizations, and integration on JupyterHub and EarthCube’s Pangeo; to make MagIC interoperable with other online data repositories that also follow FAIR principles; and to keep strengthening MagIC as a community facility by engaging researchers from historically underrepresented groups and varied institution types. Over the next three years, the MagIC Facility will be transferred to FIESTA (Framework for Integrated Earth Science and Technology Applications) technology that is being finalized under funding from EarthCube.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

磁学信息联盟 (MagIC) 提供了一个基于网络的研究设施，允许研究人员和其他用户免费访问存档、搜索、可视化、操作、下载和重用数据，这些数据解决了过去六年中地球科学领域的许多重大挑战。 ，上传数据的贡献者数量增加了两倍以上，MagIC 使用量和数据集下载量增加了六倍以上，贡献者、贡献和数据使用量的大幅增长是由于社区驱动的统一 MagIC 数据模型和 MagIC 的缘故。 Facility 部署了高度可扩展的数据库和高度适应性的 Web 界面，尽管互联网上的数据仍然明显稀疏，但这些数据的特点是易于查找、访问、可互操作和可重用，但这些公平数据原则是 MagIC 的核心。此外，对下一代研究人员和代表性不足群体成员进行现代数据分析方法的开发和使用的培训构成了 MagIC 设施在未来三年内的另一个核心组成部分。该设施将集中精力进行改进，以确保有效访问广泛的子领域科学学科中的数据、数据处理的透明度和可靠的文档记录，从而使研究人员和学生用户能够轻松解决可重复性和标准化的问题。 MagIC 设施将开发多种新颖的地理信息学产品，包括使用 https://jupyterhub.earthref.org 上的模板笔记本的集成贡献开发环境，以及以编程方式编辑、可视化、再现数据分析的指导步骤结果，并在不离开浏览器的情况下更新用户贡献；两个专门的子域视图，具有特色过滤器、相关数据摘要以及子域特定的计算和可视化；数据集丰富工具，可进一步减少准备在线数据贡献的工作量；私人工作空间支持 MagIC 内的大型设施和实验室数据管理需求，特别是来自俄勒冈州立大学、明尼苏达大学岩石磁学研究所 (IRM)、加州大学伯克利分校和加州大学圣地亚哥分校斯克里普斯海洋学研究所将合作将 PmagPy（一种用于固化和分析古地磁数据的开源跨平台软件包）和现有的 IRM 岩石磁力计算工具集成到 MagIC 后端服务器中允许在 JupyterHub 和 EarthCube 的 Pangeo 上进行高级在线计算、交互式可视化以及集成，使 MagIC 能够与其他也遵循 FAIR 原则的在线数据存储库进行互操作；通过吸引来自历史上代表性不足的群体和不同机构类型的研究人员，继续加强 MagIC 作为社区设施的能力。在未来三年内，MagIC 设施将转移到正在最终确定的 FIESTA（综合地球科学和技术应用框架）技术。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
