DEEP Platform: Empowering Global Geoscientists in Data-Driven Research Era

The integration of big data, cloud models, and extensive knowledge to drive new knowledge discovery through data is a new paradigm for research in the field of Earth sciences. Although the advancement of big data technologies and infrastructures has simplified data acquisition, deep-time geoscience still faces challenges such as fragmented data, difficulties in visualization, and insufficient computing power. To assist the broad community of geoscientists, we propose the "Deep Platform," a one-stop online research platform that utilizes cloud computing and advanced technologies. The platform provides open access to deep-time geoscientific data, knowledge, models, and computing power. It is designed to promote collaborative innovation and discovery among global geoscientists. The "Deep Platform" represents a significant advancement in geoscientific exploration, fostering global collaboration and advancing a data-driven research paradigm within the framework of open science.
