  2. Cyberinfrastructure Community Building Education CHRONOS’s purpose • Transforming Earth history research by seamlessly integrating geoscience databases and tools • Three main initiatives: • cyberinfrastructure • community building • education www.chronos.org

  3. Cyberinfrastructure Community Building Education CHRONOS: It’s about time! • Time is the intellectual theme • A team of geoscientists and IT specialists creating a cyberinfrastructure to deliver open access to a global federation of Earth history databases, tools, and services www.chronos.org

  4. Cyberinfrastructure Community Building Education CHRONOS’s stakeholders • Academic, government, and industrial scientists • Autonomous databases, affiliated science initiatives, and data and tool contributors • Educators, students, and policy makers www.chronos.org

  5. Cyberinfrastructure Community Building Education Cyberinfrastructure activities • Conceive, build, and support the robust system of integrated databases, tools, visualization, and services • Integration of heterogeneous databases • Database development • Tool development • Service development www.chronos.org

  10. Cyberinfrastructure Community Building Education Database development • HERMES for geochemical data • Taxonomic dictionaries (foraminifera, graptolites, corals) • 2,380,000 samples accessible through CHRONOS portal (as of May 8) www.chronos.org

  11. Cyberinfrastructure Community Building Education Initial Toolkit PSICAT CONOP9 ADP TIS Time Scale Creator www.chronos.org

  12. Cyberinfrastructure Community Building Education www.chronos.org PSICAT: core/section logging and data capture in one

  13. Cyberinfrastructure Community Building Education CONOP9 as webservice www.chronos.org

  14. Cyberinfrastructure Community Building Education Build and involve the community • Foster the growth of the CHRONOS community by actively promoting the open participation of diverse groups of users, data providers, and other geoinformatics efforts www.chronos.org

  15. Cyberinfrastructure Community Building Education Community activities • Build Awareness of CHRONOS (Industry, Conferences, Universities, K-12) • Recruit Federated Databases • Promote Communication among Geoscience Researchers • Grow the User Base • Collaborate with Parallel Efforts • Coordinate Project Activities www.chronos.org

  16. Cyberinfrastructure Community Building Education Partner science initiatives • ANDRILL www.andrill.org • EARTHTIME www.earth-time.org • GeoSystems www.geosystems.org www.chronos.org

  17. Cyberinfrastructure Community Building Education • The newest geological drilling program for recovery of statigraphic records from the Antarctic region • Investigate Antarctica's role in global environmental change over the past 65 million years www.chronos.org

  18. Cyberinfrastructure Community Building Education National geoinfo alliances • GEON, CoreWall, PaleoBiology Database, Janus/ODP, SESAR, PaleoStrat, NMITA, etc. • Open protocols and standards supporting the evolution from (service-oriented) architecture to (service-oriented) infrastructure for a global geoscience cyberinfrastructure www.chronos.org

  19. Cyberinfrastructure Community Building Education International partnerships • International Commission Stratigraphy, CSIRO, Geoscience Australia, Natural History Museum London, New Zealand IGNS, IODP, Geol. Survey Canada, Pangaea, Snet and others • www.igeoinfo.org www.chronos.org

  21. Cyberinfrastructure Community Building Education Give access to educational activities • Create an excitement for Earth history and geologic time through the implementation of human-computer interactions • Activities: • Develop educational activities for different groups (Grades 5-12, undergraduates, informal) • Increase diversity • Collaborate with education groups and museums www.chronos.org

  22. Cyberinfrastructure Community Building Education Summer 2006 E&O activities • Summer internship program for advanced undergraduate and graduate students (June-July) • Workshop to develop a package of on-line teaching activities using CHRONOS data and tools (June 13-15, ISU and Carleton College) • Annual retreat (August 18-19, Des Moines) www.chronos.org
