Cyberinfrastructure for Joint Research in Qinghai Lake Nature Reserve

Abstract

Abstract This paper introduces the Cyberinfrastructure and e-Science application of joint research in the Qinghai Lake National Nature Reserve, supporting cross-disciplinary, cross-organizational and international collaborative research. We introduce the e-Science application from the view of how Cyberinfrastructure and information technology can promote the different aspects of research activities, including data acquisition, knowledge discovery by processing and analyzing massive data, and knowledge representation. This e-Science application is the first one applied in the national nature reserve in China and is also the first attempt in China to construct Cyberinfrastructure to support protection and research in plateau area.
