Back to Partnership -- The following applications have been posted for review by the Partnership Committee

Fall 2020 Class

Airborne Snow Observatories - ESIP-III

Building on a 7-year legacy with the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Airborne Snow Observatories Inc. provides basin-scale inventories of mountain snow water resources using industry-leading airborne remote sensing techniques and modeling. ASO collaborates with many academic research organizations, including NCAR, and distributes data to academics for research purposes.

Scenarios Network for Alaska and Arctic Planning (SNAP) - ESIP-II

Since 2007, SNAP has used climate data to create and share ideas of what a future Northern climate could look like. Because climate projections can be misleading and potentially misused, interpretation that recognizes uncertainty is needed. We work with climate data every day and know how to display a specific trend or pattern in the most unbiased manner. SNAP scenarios are not forecasts based on probabilities. Instead, they use data to ask "What if ...?" and consider multiple divergent, challenging, and possible future events. Combining these scenarios with stakeholder knowledge fosters informed dialogue and planning.

We help partners and clients of varying needs and technical experience choose the best ways to visually communicate climate research information by creating maps, websites, interactive tools, diagrams, and print publications. Some examples include the Historical Sea Ice Atlas website and custom maps created for an Arctic management report to the President of the United States. SNAP also applies dynamical and statistical (delta) downscaling methods to climate data to create locally accurate climate information.

-We are supporting capacity development in Tanzania by helping train community activists and youthmapper chapters to use technology to develop their communities. We are mapping rural Tanzania into OpenStreetMap and supporting rural groups and universities with remote sensing. We are working with organizations such as Selian Agricultural Research Institute (SARI, http://www.erails.net/TZ/sari/sari) in Arusha, Tanzania, and Africa Soil Information Service project (AfSIS, http://africasoils.net) to help farmers groups and others to access and use their data.

-===Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research - ESIP-III ===
-Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research is one of seven New Zealand Crown Research Institutes (CRIs) formed in 1992. CRIs
-function as independent companies but are owned by, and accountable to, the New Zealand Government.
-We are responsible for four National Outcomes, to: 1) Achieve the sustainable use of soil and land resources and their ecosystem services across catchments and sectors; 2) Improve the measurement and mitigation of greenhouse gases from the terrestrial biosphere; 3) Improve the measurement, management and protection of New Zealand's terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity, including those in the conservation estate; and 4) Increase the ability of New Zealand industries and organizations to develop within environmental limits and meet market and community requirements.
-We have 7 science portfolios that work closely with central and local government, private sector businesses and
-organizations, and Māori organizations. We collaborate extensively with other research organizations in New Zealand and
-around the world.

-===Metadata Game Changers - ESIP-III ===
-Many ESIP members rely on metadata as a primary mechanism for describing data and other research objects in a
-way that facilitates discovery and use. Our role is to help provide advice and analysis to scientists and data managers
-on documentation, metadata and data management. We bring extensive experience with NOAA, NASA, DataOne,
-DataCite, CrossRef, and other metadata repositories to this work.
