Imagine a World….
• With easy, unlimited access to scientific data from any field
• Where you can easily plot data of interest and display it any way you want
• Where you can easily model your results and explore any ideas you have
•
What is EarthCube?• Transform the conduct of
data-enabled geoscience-related research.
• Create effective community-driven cyberinfrastructure.
• Allow global data discovery and knowledge management.
• Achieve interoperability and data integration across disciplines.

Perspectives
EarthCube is a Collaboration
• Between the NSF GEO directorate and the Office of Cyberinfrastructure (OCI)
• Between geo, atmosphere, ocean, computer, information, and social scientists
Why EarthCube?• Nature does not recognize separate disciplines.
• EarthCube will democratize access to data.
• EarthCube will increase research time by reducing time needed to find, access, and analyze data.
• EarthCube will enable more interdisciplinary research and the pursuit of new questions.
• EarthCube will accelerate the pace of discovery.
• EarthCube will give all scientists the same chance of making major contributions regardless of institution size or institutional endowment.
GEO Is Ready
• Cyberinfrastructure (CI) is part of the research fabric of geo, atmosphere and ocean sciences
• These scientists are sophisticated CI users and creators
• NSF and other agencies support substantial infrastructure and research that will form the foundation of EarthCube
• Community is connected by the science and collegial relationships
