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.

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.

-===Center for Spatial Analysis, University of Oklahoma (Type II - Research)===
-:Application excerpt:
-::The mission of the EOMF is to monitor and forecast the dynamics of the terrestrial biosphere.  Our approaches are primarily (1) to integrate in-situ, airborne and space-borne observations and advanced models; and (2) engage citizen scientists for community remote sensing.  The EOMF actively pursues and promotes community remote sensing through establishing cyberinfrastructure that enables science communities and citizens to participate in geo-referenced field photo data collection, archive, data exploration, visualization and analysis. We have used global satellite image data (e.g., MODIS, Landsat, and PALSAR) to map and track agriculture (e.g., cropping intensity, crop calendar, and irrigation), forests (e.g., forest area, deforestation, and degradation), and gross and net primary production.  The EOMF currently has a data center of 500 terabytes and we are in the process to expand it into a Peta-scale data center for Earth observation and Modeling at OU.

-::DataONE is designed to be the foundation of new innovative environmental research that addresses questions of relevance to science and society. DataONE will ensure preservation and access to multi-scale, multi-discipline, and multi-national data. Operationally, DataONE encompasses a distributed global network of Member Nodes (i.e., data repositories) that provide open and persistent access to well-described and easily discovered Earth observational data. In addition, a smaller number of Coordinating Nodes (i.e., metadata repositories and service centers) support network-wide services such as data replication and access to an array of enabling tools.

-:Application excerpt:
-::The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), or the Observatory, is a NSF funded national investment in physical and information infrastructure.  NEON, Inc. is a 501c(3) corporation charged with building and operating the Observatory.  The Observatory’s goal is to enable understanding and forecasting of the impacts of climate change, land use change and invasive species on continental-scale ecology by providing physical and information infrastructure to support research, education and environmental management in these areas.  NEON provides data and information to scientists, educators, decision makers and the general public on how land use, climate change and invasive species affect biodiversity, disease ecology, and ecosystem processes. NEON is a continental scale system that will collect consistent, calibrated data from 60 sites in the continental US, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico over 30 years. The Observatory will produce basic calibrated data and synthetic products.  NEON data products will be freely and openly available to scientists, educators, students, decision makers, and the public. The NEON infrastructure is a means to enable transformational science and to promote broad ecological literacy.

-===USA National Phenology Network (USA-NPN) (Type II - Research)===
-:Application excerpt:
-::The USA National Phenology Network (USA-NPN) monitors the influence of climate on the phenology of plants, animals, and landscapes. Phenology is the study of seasonal life cycle events in plants and animals. The USA-NPN monitors phenology by encouraging people to observe phenological events like leaf out, flowering, migrations, and egg laying, and by providing a place for people to enter, store, and share their observations. We also work with researchers to develop tools and techniques to use these observations to support a wide range of decisions made routinely by citizens, managers, scientists and others, including decisions related to allergies, wildfires, water, and conservation.
