4. Getting Science done now and in the future Science drivers and aspirations Identifying and addressing barriers and challenges Similar barriers with diverse solutions but no cross-communication Assessing the distribution of resources (data and CI) and access to them EarthCube must address the needs of big, medium, and small science activities. Developing a systematic approach to the multifaceted and multivariate conduct of research within the geosciences NSF can act as a facilitator

5. Transform the conduct of geosciences research with the next generation CI. Create effective community-driven cyberinfrastructure. Enable global data discovery within the geosciences Achieve interoperability and data integration across disciplines. Transform the conduct of geosciences research with the next generation CI.
