CIRSS to present at the 12th Biennial Scientific Conference on the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

Several students and faculty affiliated with CIRSS and active in the Site-Based Data Curation at Yellowstone National Park (SBDC) project will present at the 12th Biennial Scientific Conference on the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in Mammoth, Wyoming, on October 6-8. The theme of the conference, which is hosted by the National Park Service, is "Crossing Boundaries in Science, Management, & Conservation."

Presentations include:

Aggregating and Integrating Geobiological Data from Yellowstone National Park: A Prototype Data Portal
Poster presentation by Andrea K. Thomer, Sean Gordon, Timothy DiLauro, Karen S. Baker, Jacob J. Jett, Carole L. Palmer, Bruce W. Fouke

Fostering Interdisciplinary Science through Data Curation: Geobiology at Yellowstone National Park as Exemplar
Paper presentation by Bruce W. Fouke, Carole L. Palmer, Andrea K. Thomer, Timothy DiLauro, Sean Gordon, Christie Hendrix

SBDC was established through an IMLS National Leadership Grant to develop a framework for curating scientific research data. It brings together experts in data curation, research library repositories, geobiology, and research site management to develop policies and processes for the curation of diverse digital data collected at Yellowstone National Park. The framework will result in a general curation model readily extendible to other national parks and other important research sites, especially cradles of biodiversity such as coral reefs and deep crustal biosphere locations.
