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.

-===Tropical Ecology Assessment and Monitoring (TEAM) Network (Type II - Research)===
-:Application excerpt:
-::The Tropical Ecology Assessment and Monitoring (TEAM) Network was designed to address questions that are fundamental to understanding the dynamics of biodiversity, ecosystem services and human well-being as they interact from local to global scales in the context of multiple changing drivers (e.g., climate change and land cover change). The TEAM Network is currently a partnership among Conservation International, The Missouri Botanical Garden, The Wildlife Conservation Society and the Smithsonian Institution. The TEAM Network monitors biodiversity and a set of ecosystem services using a relatively small suite of standardized protocols implemented at TEAM Sites. These protocols include: Climate, Carbon Stocks, Tree Species Diversity, Liana Species Diversity, Bird and Mammal Species Diversity and the Zone of Human Dynamics and Ecosystem Change (ZoHDEC). The protocols facilitate comparisons among sites and continents using metrics that quantify changes in climate, land use/land cover, biodiversity and carbon sequestration.  The protocols were designed and vetted through a series of workshops involving more than 200 scientists from around the world and are freely available on the web. Multi-disciplinary data is collected from technician collected field measurements, mobile devices, ground based sensors and satellite sensors. As a result the TEAM Network has worked extensively to develop one of the first operational cyberinfrastructure that supports a global observatory network.  Our main cyberinfrastructure partner is the San Diego Supercomputer Center at UC San Diego.

-::AZGS is an independent state agency with objectives to:  (1) Serve as a primary source of geologic information in this state to enhance public understanding of the state's geologic character, geologic hazards and limitations and mineral resources. (2) Inform, advise and assist the public in matters concerning the geological processes, materials and landscapes and the development and use of the mineral resources of this state. (3) Encourage the wise use of the lands and mineral resources of this state toward its development. (4) Provide technical advice and assistance in geology to other state and local governmental agencies engaged in projects in which the geologic setting, character or mineral resources of the state are involved. (5) Provide technical advice and assistance in geology to industry toward the wise development and use of the mineral and land resources of this state.

-::The Ozone and Air Quality Processing Team (OAQPT) develops and operates data processing systems that flight projects and individual scientists use to produce data sets from spacecraft sensors in an automated production system.  We developing approaches that will enable Earth Science Community Members to search for and retrieve selected data products and to automatically stage them for further processing through user supplied scientific algorithms.  Our system currently supports data from the Backscattered UltraViolet sensor, BUV, from Nimbus 4 from 1970 to 1976, The Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet and Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer from Nimbus 7 from 1978 through 1993, the Ozone Monitoring Instrument flown on EOS Aura from 2004 onward, and will support the Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite, OMPS to be flown on the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System Preparatory Project to be launched in 2011.
