“Research is being stalled by ‘information overload,’ Mr. Bement said, becausedata from digital instruments are piling up far faster than researchers can study.In particular, he said, campus networks need to be improved. High-speed datalines crossing the nation are the equivalent of six-lane superhighways, he said.But networks at colleges and universities are not so capable. “Those massiveconduits are reduced to two-lane roads at most college and universitycampuses,” he said. Improving cyberinfrastructure, he said, “will transform thecapabilities of campus-based scientists.”
