The Geosciences Network (GEON) Cyberinfrastructure Workshop
at the University of Hyderabad, India, 24th-27th October 2005
Organised by

What is GEON?
GEON is developing cyberinfrastructure for integrative research to enable transformative advances in
Geoscience research and education. The key science driver in GEON is a more quantitative understanding
of the 4-D evolution of the continental lithosphere (gravity modeling of 3D geological features, study of
active tectonics, faults and earthquakes, geodynamics model, lithospheric structure)
Workshop at the University of Hyderabad (UofH).
GEON will conduct a Cyberinfrastructure Workshop at the University of Hyderabad, India, jointly with
Center for Modeling, Simulation and Design (CMSD), Center for Earth & Space Sciences (CESS) &
San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), immediately following the PRAGMA9 (Pacific Rim Application
& Grid Middleware Assembly) meeting in October 2005. The University of Hyderabad (UofH) is one the
leading science universities in India. Recently, UofH has established a Supercomputer Center and launched
a new Center for Earth and Space Sciences (CESS). UofH is a member of the PRAGMA project
(http://www.pragma-grid.net)
and will host the PRAGMA9 meeting, which will feature a session on
Geosciences / GEON.
Themes:
-
Fundamentals of Geosciences, Geo databases
-
Architecture of GEON
-
Enabling Technologies for GEON
-
Applications of GEON: Case Studies
This activity helps in cross-fertilization between IT and Geosciences and enable new modes of Geosciences
research particularly in Atmospheric Sciences, Mineral Exploration and Remote Sensing.
UofH plans to deploy a GEON node in order to host a geochemistry database and other geoscience services.
A number of Earth Science related institutions are collocated in the city of Hyderabad including, the
National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI), the National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA), Atomic
Minerals Directorate (AMD) and the Geological Survey of India (GSI).
The Workshop will be conducted at the University of Hyderabad between 24 and 27 October, 2005, after
PRAGMA9. The GEON node will also be installed at that time.
This is one of the first formal international collaborations GEON has developed. Plans to add
other international partners are being developed.
We invite students, researchers, teachers and professionals to participate in the Workshop.
