Back to Partnership -- The following applications have been posted for review by the Partnership Committee

October 2024 Class

Amazon Web Services - Type III

AWS provides scalable storage, compute, and tooling in the cloud for high performance workloads needed for climate change analysis. We have dedicated Earth science technology services such as SageMaker Geospatial, which is a managed Jupyter notebook environment with access to a STAC catalog of geospatial datasets from the AWS Open Data program.

Amber Biology LLC - Type III

Amber Biology has begun to provide coding, data analytics and research consulting services in the earth sciences community, building on a decade-long experience with data science in the biotechnology communities and beyond.

Howard University CORE Futures Lab - II

The CORE Futures Lab embodies the principles of "Community-Centered," "Openness," "Research," and "Equity," guiding our inclusive approach to address challenges, unlock potential, and reimagine a more enriched future. Despite the belief that data alone holds all the answers, we recognize the expansion of data gaps layered on existing issues. While we acknowledge the abundance of available data, we are also mindful of the complexities arising from a singular white, male, and cisgender perspective dominating the data and tech realms. Our main focus such far has been in dealing with earth science (air, heat, water and soil) data.

Stroud Water Research Center - II

Since 1967, Stroud Water Research Center has been leading the effort to produce innovative solutions for preserving and restoring fresh water. We believe in an independent, unbiased voice — and in adventure, inspiration, perseverance, and integrity. Our mission is to advance knowledge and stewardship of freshwater systems through global research, education, and watershed restoration. As such, we produce the trusted science needed for successful stream and river conservation while fostering people's passion for water in their lives. While conducting discovery-oriented research on rivers and watersheds is the focus of the Stroud Center, we also develop innovative environmental education tools and curriculum and provide watershed restoration services to landowners and farmers. As part of all these efforts, the Stroud Center has developed a suite of hardware and cyberinfrastructure tools for the Earth science community. These tools are used by scientists, educators, and environmental practitioners around the world, and they are our impetus for seeking partnering with ESIP.

University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill, Department of Genetics - II

UNC-Chapel Hill Department of Genetics is interested in how genes interact with environments to result in phenotypes and disease. In our discipline, this is referred to as the effect of the exposome. Investigating this at scale requires development of data infrastructure for linking geo data and patient data. We are looking to expand our role in the earth science community so that we can collaboratively develop this data infrastructure.

World Data System - V

The World Data System is an international membership organization comprised of data repositories and data related organizations and services, many of which are Earth science related. Our mission is to enhance the capabilities, impact and sustainability of our member data repositories and data services by creating trusted communities of scientific data repositories, strengthen the scientific enterprise and advocating for accessible data and transparent and reproducible science.

-===Earth System Grid Center for Enabling Technologies (ESG-CET) (Type I Data Center)===
+==October 2024 Class ==
-:Application excerpt:
+=== Amazon Web Services - Type III ===
-::"The Earth System Grid Center for Enabling Technologies (ESG-CET), a Department of Energy project and world-class source for climate modeling data, is building a multi-institutional cyberinfrastructure to advance a federated system of “science gateways and portals”. In order to meet the growing global demand for climate resources, ESG-CET aims to provide tens of petabytes of data, information, models, analysis, visualization, and computational capabilities needed by a variety of stakeholders including scientists, policy-makers, and the general public. Since its production beginnings, in 2004, the ESG has housed and distributed notable data collections for well-known science endeavors such as the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP), the Community Climate System Model (CCSM), and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4).
-The ESG-CET is a collaboration of seven U.S. research laboratories and a university working together to identify and implement key computational and informational technologies for advancing climate change science.  In addition, ESG-CET is working with other universities in areas of data management and mining, visualization, and workflow analysis.
+AWS provides scalable storage, compute, and tooling in the cloud for high performance workloads needed for climate change
+analysis. We have dedicated Earth science technology services such as SageMaker Geospatial, which is a managed Jupyter
+notebook environment with access to a STAC catalog of geospatial datasets from the AWS Open Data program.
-The ESG-CET project’s goals are (1) to make data more useful to climate researchers by advancing Grid technology that enhances data usability; (2) to meet specific needs of national and international climate projects for distributed database, data access, and data movement; (3) to provide secure web-based data access portals to broad-based multi-model data collections; and (4) to provide a wide-range of Grid-enabled climate data analysis tools and diagnostic methods to international climate centers and U.S. government agencies."

+=== Stroud Water Research Center - II ===
-::"Our vision is to be the world’s finest educators supporting science, technology, engineering, and math learning for pre-kindergarten to post-graduate students using real-world applications from satellites and satellite data. Our mission is to enhance the education environment to excite students about science, technology, engineering, and math through space-based technology – satellites and satellite data. We accomplish this through our website with monthly newsletters, our annual Satellites & Education Conference that brings together NOAA, NASA, the aerospace industry and teachers to provide information, training and resources to improve STEM education in K-16 thus promoting careers that use satellites and satellite data, and our M.Y. S.P.A.C.E. Program which trains and facilitates global research by local schools, their teachers and students. The conference has been supported by NOAA for over 20 years and by NASA for more than 15 years."
