<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hello wordy soils folks! Very brief recap today Emilio Mayorga gave an amazing overview of work he’s done with the CZIMEA a project associated with EarthCube and the CZOs. I personally am hoping that he decides
to stick around the cluster a bit because it looks like very similar issues to what we are hoping to tackle!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Come join us for a presentation on
<b>March 10 at 1700 UTC </b>by Emilio Mayorga (Applied Physics Lab, UW) titled “Cross-Site Soil and Microbial Ecology Cyberinfrastructure for the CZIMEA EarthCube Project”</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Abstract:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> The CZIMEA (Critical Zone Integrative Microbial Ecology Activity, 2015-2020, https://github.com/BiG-CZ/CZIMEA/) EarthCube Integrative
Activities project carried out a cross-site soil sampling and analysis research activity involving many universities affiliated with the 10 Critical Zone Observatories (CZO) across the US. The scientific goal was to gain insights into the differences between
soil microbial communities as they vary across ecosystems and with depth along a profile, using a wide range of soil and environmental measurements and both metagenomic and amplicon high-throughput sequencing to analyze nearly 200 unique soil samples.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Cyberinfrastructure and interoperability were important components of this EarthCube project. To facilitate management, integration and dissemination of the cross-site metadata and
data generated by CZIMEA, we set a goal to store information using the Observations Data Model 2 (ODM2, http://www.odm2.org) system with the CZ-Admin User Interface (http://odm2.github.io/CZ-Manager/), deployed on the cloud. ODM2 is enriched with cross-linkage
to external data systems using universal identifiers that include DOI’s, ORCID’s and IGSN’s, in addition to ODM2-managed controlled vocabularies described online (http://vocabulary.odm2.org). The CZIMEA ODM2 relational database holds extensive, structured
sampling and sample metadata, and initial steps were taken to store environmental measurement results as well, including soil moisture, field capacity, texture, carbon and nitrogen content and pH. The plan was to use universal identifiers to link to genomic
results stored externally in dedicated systems, particularly the MG-RAST metagenomics analysis server. We also developed the initial elements for storing landscape information derived from continental scale geospatial datasets, including site climatologies,
land cover type, soil types, and terrain properties.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
