The following seven applications are up for review and comment. The comment period will close November 27, 2010.
City of Chicago (Type III - Applications)
- Application excerpt:
- The Chicago Climate Action Plan establishes mitigation goals and adaptation strategies. Dozens of partners have contributed to the development of the strategies, and the City of Chicago has been implementing changes and adaptations under a no regrets policy to improve our resiliency, flexibility and quality of life. We have completed a risk analysis due to climate change, downscaled GCM models to Chicago region, and aggressively pursuing many adaptation changes from ordinances to infrastructure, behavior to built environment.

DataONE (University of New Mexico) (Type I - Data Center)
- Application Excerpt:
- 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.

Information Technology and Systems Center (ITSC) - (Type II – Research)
- Application excerpt:
- The ITSC performs research and development in the areas of distributed information systems, next generation internet, data mining and knowledge discovery, information system interoperability, image processing and data security. The ITSC has worked with researchers at Marshall Space Flight Center, other NASA centers, state and federal agencies and industry for over 30 years. We provide stewardship of Earth science data and information for numerous missions including NASA’s Earth science missions and field campaigns. ITSC researchers team with scientists to develop new technologies and applications that promote the broad use of Earth science data.
