Reported August 2011:

Triangle

  • NM Climate Change Web Portal: NM EPSCoR Program portal established and maintained with regular updates from NM EPSCoR Staff:

    • News
    • Events
    • Focus Areas
    • Data
    • Connections to social media and mailing list

  • Data acquisition, processing and storage

    • Data ingest and metadata creation team working with researchers
      • Two researchers in the “pipeline” right now
      • Setting up integration web-meetings with others
        following Summer field season

    Scales

    • Integration with National/International Networks
      • CUAHSI
      • DataONE (under discussion)
      • GeoSpatial OneStop
      • LTER
      • GEOSS
      • NSF EPSCoR Track 2 Tri-State Collaboration

    • Preliminary discussions/development support with UNM Library for integration with institutional repository
      • Dublin Core metadata generation controller for Gstore

  • Interoperability – Tri-State Integration

    • Collection-level metadata replication
      • Metadata driven data replication Data integration through interoperable standards

  • High Performance Computing

    • Students received training in atmospheric modeling and associated HPC-techniques at NCAR, as well as training in parallel computing techniques HPC resources at NCAR (“Bluefire”) and at UNM exemplar (“Pequena”) used for limited area and global models
    • Developed new models linking climate model output to landscape evolution models; incorporated in the CSDMS framework

  • Collaboration Technologies

    • Continued use of GoToMeeting as a planned and impromptu collaboration environment for project teams
      • Remote researcher and educator interaction for data ingest and data resource demonstrations Distributed project planning and coordination (both for NM EPSCoR and Tri-State CI development)
