SPARC is a community resource for space physics and aeronomy. For more information, assistance using the system, or help integrating your data with the system, please send e-mail to sparc@umich.edu.

news:  The Fourth Thermospheric/Ionospheric Geospheric Research (TIGER) Symposium is being conducted virtually using WorkTools, 10-14 June 2002. news: S-RAMP and GEM-SMC are conducting a series of ongoing electronic workshops using WorkTools. news: Interactions recently published an article on the impact of the Upper Atmospheric Research Collaboratory (UARC), SPARC's predecessor. news: MIT's Technology Review  also published a piece on collaboratories that focused on UARC.

SPARC-tag-1.gif (807 bytes) brings together researchers in upper atmospheric and space physics from around the world, providing them a set of online collaboration tools and workspaces that link together scientific instruments, data, and models. The collaboratory is itself a subject of study by computer and behavioral scientists who are developing and refining the tools and organizational structures that will make such real-time, online collaborative research commonplace.
