Advancing Cyberinfrastructure-Based Science through Education, Training, and Mentoring of Science Communities

This project is dedicated to assisting scientists in the design of technology-enabled science, particularly ecologists, environmental scientists, and other earth surface/biosphere scientists. It is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Cyberinfrastructure through the CI-Team program. This is a one-year demonstration project to show the efficacy of the approach. Continued funding as a three-year implementation project is pending.

The project is being conducted through the University of New Mexico Center for Research on Ecological Science and Technology (CREST) in collaboration with the UNM High Performance Computing Center, the UNM Center for Rapid Environmental Assessment & Terrain Evaluation, the University of Arizona Department of Geography and Regional Development, Northern Arizona University Merriam-Powell Center for Environmental Research, and University of Kansas Biodiversity and Natural History Museum.
