  Science is conducted collaboratively, often requiring knowledge sharing about
computational experiments. When experiments include only datasets, they can be
shared using Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) or Digital Object Identifiers
(DOIs). An experiment, however, seldom includes only datasets, but more often
includes software, its past execution, provenance, and associated
documentation. The Research Object has recently emerged as a comprehensive and
systematic method for aggregation and identification of diverse elements of
computational experiments. While a necessary method, mere aggregation is not
sufficient for the sharing of computational experiments. Other users must be
able to easily recompute on these shared research objects. In this paper, we
present the sciunit, a reusable research object in which aggregated content is
recomputable. We describe a Git-like client that efficiently creates, stores,
and repeats sciunits. We show through analysis that sciunits repeat
computational experiments with minimal storage and processing overhead.
Finally, we provide an overview of sharing and reproducible cyberinfrastructure
based on sciunits gaining adoption in the domain of geosciences.
