The National Science Foundation Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure awarded a $290,768 Project Grant on September 1, 2023 to the University of Wisconsin - Madison under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program. This 4-year grant funds the development of an automated quality assurance and quality control (QAQC) system for the StraBo geologic information system to evaluate the quality and completeness of observational geological data. The project involves creating two complementary algorithms, one using machine learning and one based on expert logic, to assess data quality. The grant also includes development of a graphical user interface to allow geologists to evaluate and improve their own data collection. This project aims to facilitate the broader reuse and reproducibility of high-quality geological data sets, enabling new scientific discoveries and modeling at regional scales. No subawards are planned under this grant.
