Transforming Earth history research by seamlessly integrating geoscience databases and tools Three main initiatives: –cyberinfrastructure –community building –education www.chronos.org CyberinfrastructureCommunity Building Education CHRONOS’s purpose
3
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 CyberinfrastructureCommunity Building Education
4
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 CyberinfrastructureCommunity Building Education
5
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 CyberinfrastructureCommunity Building Education Cyberinfrastructure activities
