A national collaboratory for environmental and molecular sciences
- Pacific Northwest Lab., Richland, WA (United States)
A collaboratory is an open meta-laboratory that spans multiple geographical areas with collaborators interacting via electronic means -{open_quotes}working together apart{close_quotes}. Collaboratories are designed to enable close ties between scientists in a given research area, to promote collaborations involving scientists in diverse areas, to accelerate the development and dissemination of basic knowledge, and to minimize the time-lag between discovery and application. Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL), one of the U.S. Department of Energy`s national laboratories, is developing a Collaboratory which will enable more effective environmental molecular sciences research. The testbed for this activity is the instrumentation being developed for the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) at PNL. Creating a Collaboratory entails integrating software and hardware computing tools to produce an environment where multiple, geographically separated researchers can collaborate on experimental and analysis tasks, data sharing, joint operations of computer and instrument resources, and exchange of personal expertise.
