Black Sunday. April 14, 1935
Loss of life, reduced quality of life, and agricultural depression had economic and social ripples to other parts of the country.
The “Dust Bowl”

7 Major CI Challenges + 1
1) Hardening of developing cyberinfrastructure2) Bandwidth to the last mile3) Metadata standards (sensors, arrays, etc.)4) Smart sensor networks5) Archives6) Semantic mediation (structure, schema,
syntax)7) Usabilty of software and hardware• What to throw away and what to keep ?
