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.

-:Application excerpt:
+=== World Data System - V ===
-::"The Southeastern University Research Association (SURA) is leading an initiative called the SURA Coastal Ocean Observing and Prediction (SCOOP) program. This multi-institution collaboration, funded by ONR and NOAA, brings together a diverse group of scientists with expertise in coastal and computer sciences. The SURA Coastal & IT Committees are leveraging SURA strengths in coastal and computer-science research, and SURA experience with IT infrastructure projects (SURAnet, NLR, etc).  The SCOOP vision is to provide a community infrastructure that will advance the science of environmental prediction and hazard planning for our nation’s coasts.  The system involves a service-oriented architecture for predicting and visualizing coastal response to extreme atmospheric events, including the damaging and catastrophic effects of storm surge, inundation, and wind waves.

-:Application excerpt:
-::"CREW's mission is to quantify and predict water cycle and environmental consequences of earth system variability and change through focused research investments in observation, modeling, and application.
-::CREW aims to quantify and predict the energy sources and sinks that feed baroclinic weather systems, the general circulation of the atmosphere, global water transport, rainfall, and the renewal of fresh water resources.
-::The Center: CREW integrates research across traditional disciplines in an end-to-end program that transitions theoretical research to academic/public education and real-world application, through partnerships with universities, government, and international agencies. The center goal of improved and applicable predictions of the water and energy cycles will require decisive progression from observations to improved understanding and modeling, and eventually to better prediction and application. The center can not possibly hope to achieve this objective alone, but rather conducts focused activities aimed at improving existing partner capabilities."
