Hi all,
You may recall that about a year ago I advertise on this listserv about an opportunity to participate in a field trip to Yosemite/Owens Valley to discuss cyberinfrastructure and field work as part of an EarthCube funded RCN (Research Coordinated Networks) project, "EC3-Earth-Center Communication for Cyberinfrastructure: Challenges of field data collection, management, and integration."
Well, we are running this field trip one more time this coming summer (2015).
The field trip will be from August 2nd to 7th. We want to get Computer Scientists and Geologist talking about best practices associated with workflows that can better facilitate the pathways of data from the field and into our databases. And of course, the best place to have these conversations is in the field.
All of your travel expenses, lodging, food, etc. will be paid for by the grant. Additionally, we have budgeted a small amount for an honorarium for those who participate.
So, if you want to go to one of the most beautiful places in the world and contribute to the conversation about how best to get our field data more easily into the appropriate databases and other associated issues, please submit an application.
The application is very short and easy to fill out. I need the applications e-mailed to me by the end of the day on March 16th. You can download the application with the following link: http://www.sonoma.edu/users/m/mookerje/EC3-App%20Form_final-2015.docx . The completed applications should be e-mailed to me directly at [log in to unmask]
Also, more information about the project can be gleaned from the following web page: http://www.sonoma.edu/users/m/mookerje/EC3.html
If you know of any other Earth Scientists, Computer Scientists, Cognitive Scientists, or anyone who deals with issues surrounding Educational Technology who might be interested, please forward them this e-mail.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
