[CIG-ALL] Workshop announcement: metadata for numerical models in solid Earth sciences, April 30th - May 2nd

[Anna Kelbert]

Dear CIG Modelers,

You are warmly invited to join our community workshop in Portland, OR on 
April 30th - May 2nd, 2015.

   We invite numerical model developers and users in the solid Earth 
Sciences communities to help shape the basic concepts of the 
interdisciplinary Model Coupling Metadata (MCM) format. Your input will 
correct and steer any further work on this project. Our discussion will 
be focused on the development of a new standard and tools that  make it 
easy for the numerical model developers and users in geodynamic, 
seismic, magnetotelluric and petrologic modeling communities to document 
their code in an unambiguous way that is both machine and human-readable.

   This work is part of the NSF's EarthCube "Earth System Bridge" 
project, which is a large multi-institutional collaboration intended to 
enable communication between modeling frameworks and standalone 
numerical models in geosciences, across the domains in climate, 
hydrology, solid Earth and surface dynamics. As part of this effort, 
different modeling communities across geosciences are looking at 
standardizing their numerical model metadata. The feedback of the solid 
Earth modeling community is critical for this effort, and we are looking 
forward to your participation.

   Please click here <http://www.cvent.com/d/prqly2> for more details, 
or to register for the workshop. Partial travel support will be 
available. The registration deadline is Wednesday, March 25th, at which 
point we shall confirm your registration and indicate your level of 
travel support. The housing reservation deadline is Friday, March 27th.

   We are looking forward to seeing you in Portland, OR!

Sincerely,

Anna Kelbert
Oregon State University
