Research Coordination Networkon Seamounts Goals

Bring Together the Diverse Science Disciplines

Involved in Seamount Research

To Communicate About and Discuss Seamount science

To Explore Innovative Ways to Network Between Seamount Science Disciplines

The Spectrum of Seamount Research

Breakout Sessions

How can we Develop as a Network

What Tools and Features will help us to Bridge

Gaps Between Seamount Science Disciplines

How do we Facilitate Open Access to All Types of Seamount Data

How can we be More Successful at Explaining

the Value of Studying Seamounts

Breakout Sessions

Split Up in Four Groups to Prepare Agenda for Final Plenary Discussion on Saturday

Everybody can Participate in Each Breakout Session in the Long Term, but we need to form Small Groups to Work Out a Plan

Elect or Create a Long Term Structure and Plan for How To Continue Past this Workshop

Long Term Participation is Possible for Everybody by Keep

Supplying Informationand Data or by Being an Active

The Seamount Catalog and the EarthRef.org Web Portal

Orcutt, JCEOA: Center for Earth Observations Applications

Building a

Seamount Data Portal (SDP)

Creating a Seamount Data Network and Cyberinfrastructure is one of the Major SBN goals.

Using the EarthRef.org Web Portal and the Seamount Catalog as the Starting Point from which to create this SDP.

Allowing the SDP to know Where and What to find on the Internet in Terms of Seamount Data.

Making this Portal Interoperable with Other Authoritative Seamount Resources on the Web.

The EarthRef.org Website and Databases contain alreadya Series of Databases and Tools that are very useful for running an International Network on Seamounts.

Resides at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC).

Seamount Catalog + EarthRef.org

1,800 Seamounts

4,600 Maps and Grids

15,000 Multibeam, Sidescan and Island SRTM Topography Data Files

95,000 Publications, in particular, from AGU

2,000 Registered Users

600 Uploaded Data Files in ERDA Digital Archive

Paleomagnetic Data for 4,000 Publications

Geochemical Data for 200 Publications

What is Available on EarthRef.org

Directly via http://earthref.org/databases/SC

or via http://earthref.org/SBN Home Page

Source for …o Multibeam, Sidescan Datao Bathymetry Grids and Six Standard Bathymetric Mapso Sample Locations (dredging, coring, boxcoring, DSDP, ODP, etc)o Morphology and Age Datao Referral to Data Available Elsewhereo Any Other Data Without a Home (CTD for example)o Expedition Data, Literature Data and Seamount References

Links to EarthRef Digital Archive (ERDA)

o Allows you to Upload Files and Associate them with Seamounts

BENEFIT: Your Files will be Available from the Persistent Archives of the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) in the Long Term

Searching for Seamounts …

DownloadingMap Products …

What is Needed for a SDP … ?Get an Understanding between Different Seamount Databases on Interoperability: Which Data or Metadata will be Shared and on What Level of Granularity ?

How to make this Interoperability most Efficient through the use of a Common Seamount Identifier, lat-lon info, or both ?

The SDP will create Traffic towards the Online Seamount Databases, but what about the other way around ?

What kind of IT Tools are required ?

Posters + Break Out Sessions …

There are Various Posters displayed that will tell you What Kind of Seamount Data are already being represented on the Internet.

There will be two Break Out Sessions that will Discuss the Database Needs for designing the SDP and how to Effectively Relate the Data in All Ongoing Projects and Databases.
