The urgency and difficulties in understanding the Earth’s environment have steadily increased in recent decades, driving the evolution of observations, data and computational tools as well as the greater need for cross-disciplinary research. EarthCube is a recent response to these needs. EarthCube’s overarching goal is “to catalyze the scientific mission of the geosciences community by leveraging advances in information science and technology to propel scientific progress and discovery in ways unimagined before.” Following the NSF EarthCube Advisory Committee (AC) Reverse Site Visit report on EarthCube recommendations in March 2016, the EarthCube Leadership Council (LC) asked that a workshop be convened to: Define the EarthCube Architecture operating model, concept of operations, and functional requirements in terms of technology, organization, scope, and architecture qualities to help guide the direction of EarthCube; Suggest an initial draft plan for architecture implementation; Provide input to 2016 EarthCube award projects to align with this refreshed architecture; and Provide guidance to NSF for the 2017 EarthCube solicitation to support implementing the architecture. The workshop was held May 25-27 2016 and included experts from major data facilities, EarthCube leaders and cyberinfrastructure specialists.
