Plant Fund: E-CORE RII: Technology for Innovative Visualization, Aggregation & Training in Environmental Preparedness and Resilience for Kentucky (CAPTIVATE KY)

Abstract: The mission of CAPTIVATE KY is to cultivate collaboration in environmental preparedness and resilience research by creating and sustaining an open data and communication network for more effective coordination of R&D and education in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The project addresses specific infrastructure challenges in the jurisdiction’s science and technology research ecosystem: a dedicated databank of hardware and software infrastructure to host, share, manage, and support scientists and engineers working with large-scale environmental data from across the state. The project cyberinfrastructure will include equipment, software, and hosting services to support the data storage, computational and web servers, and archival/backup requirements.
