[esip-semantictech] Cyberinfrastructure for Sustained Scientific Innovation (CSSI) - Data and Software (NSF 18-531)

Wed Feb 28 21:16:56 EST 2018

I am interested, though curious about how you’ll include all that in GEO land, and who your science PIs will be. 

I was thinking more in terms of one of the big  infrastructure components, getting money to fund a semantic operational resources center. But that will also need scientists, and from an odd set of domains.

> =======================================
>  
> The Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) is interested in the following research fields: atmospheric and geospace science, earth science, ocean science, and polar science. The directorate welcomes proposals that focus on the development and implementation of automated, executable, and optimized workflows that:
> are capable of real- and near-real-time archiving and manipulation of sensor and other field-based data, including experimental and/or simulation data;
> promote seamless discovery, access, and transfer of data and metadata across data resources and centers that are supported by GEO;
> “leverage-through-sharing” of existing investments in university, federal, and commercial computing and infrastructure;
> engage community models for the assimilation and use of data for initialization, state estimation, or sensitivity analysis; and
> encourage the development or reuse of computational techniques (i.e., high-performance  distributed computing, machine learning, cloud computing, etc.) without which simulations would be difficult to conduct or large volumes of data could not be manipulated, analyzed, and transferred. The proposed computational techniques must be framed as sub-tasks within the proposed workflow.
>  
> All workflows must be designed to overcome significant bottlenecks to solving compelling Earth science questions.
>  
> Programmatic areas of interest within GEO include:
>  
> The Office of Polar Programs (OPP)
> is interested in activities that advance understanding of the current and future states of
> high latitude ocean circulation, atmospheric conditions, marine and terrestrial ecosystems, and biogeochemistry, and the
> mechanisms that drive the seasonal evolution of sea and land ice melt. OPP welcomes interdisciplinary research that focuses
> on how the components of the polar regions (land, atmosphere, ocean, sea and land ice, etc.) interact as a system, with
> feedbacks and unanticipated emergent properties. OPP also welcomes proposals related to polar astrophysics and geospace
> research. Investigators who are interested in Arctic social science research are encouraged to also read the SBE
> Programmatic Areas of Interest below, and to contact the cognizant OPP and SBE program officers.
>  
> The Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS)
> is interested in answering fundamental science questions related
> to atmospheric and geospace research, including a wide variety of important processes that impact humans and society, such
> as space weather, tropospheric weather, physical and dynamic meteorology, climate, and air quality.
>  
> The Division of Earth Sciences (EAR)
> is interested in improving our understanding of the structure, composition, and evolution
> of the Earth, the interaction with life, and the processes that govern the formation and behavior of the Earth's materials. EAR
> interests include the fields of "solid-earth" science (geology and paleontology, geochemistry, geophysics, continental
> hydrology, geomorphology, tectonics, and geobiology).
>  
> The Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE)
> is interested in activities that advance understanding of all aspects of the global
> oceans and ocean basins, including their interactions with people and the integrated Earth system.
