EarthCube Vision• An alternative approach to respond to daunting science
and CI challenges
• EarthCube is an outcome and a process
• EarthCube will require broad community participation
The EarthCube Vision
EarthCube Goal and Outcomes
Outcomes• Transform practices
within the geosciences community spanning over the next decade
• Provide unprecedented new capabilities to researchers and educators
• Vastly improve the productivity of community
• Accelerate research on the Earth system
• Provide a knowledge management framework for the geosciences
GoalTo transform the conduct of research in geosciences by supporting the development of community-guided cyberinfrastructure to integrate data and information for knowledge management across the Geosciences.
EarthScope Science Plan
A comprehensive understanding of active continental deformation fromdays to hundreds to thousands to millions of years, time-scales that span several to many earthquake cycles.
A true 4-D dynamic models of the system consistent with the 3-D structure of the subsurface and the multi-scale (in time and space) deformation of the surface.
147 Terabytes Seismic, 40 Terabytes Geodetic, continuous near real time recording, 4000 sq km topographyCurrently individual investigators are
work in a piece meal format collecting the required data sets from individual sources.
“Blue Book”: Challenges and Opportunities
in the Hydrologic Sciences (2012)
• Hydrologic modeling• Sensor revolution• “The Water Cycle: An
Agent of Change,”• “Water and Life,” and• “Clean Water for People
and Ecosystems,”
• What are challenges in developing and using regional climate change projections for assessing future hydrologic change and impacts?
No single discipline provides the entire knowledge base for advancing hydrologic sciences in the 21st century
High Resolution Numerical Models
• physics-based watershed models to predict and manage surface, groundwater and ecological resources. o Link atmospheric, land-surface
vegetation, soil moisture and subsurface observations into a fully-coupled distributed system
o evaluate ecosystem and detect the impact of climatic change provides
• The current computing infrastructure must overcomeo 1. Accessibilityo 2. Scaling
User Requirements Survey Data• Do you require data or data products from outside your
immediate discipline?o 52% Yeso 14% No
• Where do you obtain your data?
• Is there a place for products of your own work to be archived and accessed?o 45% Yeso 25% No

We Know
• The current research-CI paradigm works, but clearly needs revision
• The process must be community driven• NSF will play a role as facilitator• “Modes of Support” will continue through and
beyond this development but they will be better connected
Strategic Convergence Using “Spiral Development”

• ~650 members to the EarthCube website
• 113 white paper submission;185 respondents to user survey
• 4 New Community Groups
• Unknown number of hours of pro bono contributions by thecommunity
• Unprecedented view of the pulse of the geosciences community
First Charrette
• On-site 146o Not all for the entire 3 ½ dayso Attendance was high even on last morning
• Virtual ~ 100 (varied by day)• Broad representation of geosciences research community
o Including several graduate and post-docs
• Representation also includedo Other federal agencieso Internationalo Industry o Publisherso Societies and science organizationso Organizational specialists

• Engage the entire geosciences Community• Address areas essential for EarthCube• Responsible for user requirements• Responsible for long-term roadmaps
• Possible mechanisms for enacting EarthCube• More than one in the beginning• Not complete solutions, just meeting minimum requirements
Essential that Prototypes are tailored by Working Group output
