Cyber Infrastructure Research and Development Lab for the Earth Sciences (CIRDLES) - ESIP-III

CIRDLES collaboratively and continuously develops open source software systems and cyber infrastructure to support the scientific workflows of geo-chronologists engaged in isotope-based dating of rock samples. This mission includes discovering ways to ensure sustainability within our working definiton of cyber infrastructure - "a collaboratively and sustainably evolving socio-technical system of systems including humans, software, computing devices, and electronic storage intended to support and advance open science and ensure reproducibility."

Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) - ESIP-III

The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is an international industry consortium of over 519 companies, government agencies and universities participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available interface standards. OGC® Standards support interoperable solutions that "geo-enable" the Web, wireless and location-based services and mainstream IT. The standards empower technology developers to make complex spatial information and services accessible and useful with all kinds of applications.

EarthCube - ESIP-IV

EarthCube broadly supports the geosciences by building capacity and capabilities to meet the challenges of scientific discovery. EarthCube membership is completely open. EarthCube hosts the Council for Data Facilities that represents the NSF Funded Earth Science data facilities who are very strongly connected to their user communities across the earth sciences.

The focus of EarthCube is primarily on academic geoscientists (due to NSF funding) but the benefits expand to all geoscientists and potential data users. ESIP is largely comprised of earth scientists from US Federal agencies. We believe there is a strong synergy in bringing these 2 communities with strongly aligned missions together to work on common issues and share capabilities.
