Geologic time is the intellectual theme that connects a wide variety of research endeavors in geoscience - missing is the corresponding cyberinfrastructure that allows the resources of all these endeavors to be pooled. CHRONOS's (Greek: time) purpose is to transform Earth history research by seamlessly integrating geoscience databases and tools.
