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

February 2024 Class

NASA Science Explorer - Type II

In 2023, NASA invited the Astrophysics Data System (ADS) to expand it's focus into the Earth sciences, heliophysics, planetary science, biological sciences, and physical sciences, giving rise to the digital library portal known as NASA Science Explorer (SciX). Crafted to be as invaluable to Earth science as ADS is to astrophysics, SciX efficiently cross-links diverse bibliographic and data sources, fostering inclusivity and comprehensive scientific exploration. Offering researchers unparalleled access to a wealth of knowledge, SciX actively embraces Open Science principles, indexing NASA's PubSpace, Earth Science journals, preprints, meeting abstracts, theses, data sets, software, and more. Beyond being a comprehensive library resource, SciX empowers researchers with advanced citation metrics and data visualizations to pinpoint potential collaborators, establishing itself as a dynamic resource capable of supporting accessible and collaborative scientific research across all NASA science mission directorate areas.

East Tennessee State University Department of Geosciences - Type II

East Tennessee State University's Center for Rural Health Research and Department of Geosciences are dedicated to promoting geosciences as a unifying interdisciplinary science, focusing on the earth and societal and health challenges and opportunities through education and research. Their mission is to educate students and community in geosciences with hands-on experiences and interdisciplinary learning, explore the world, develop innovative solutions for societal problems, produce exceptional geoscientists, advance career opportunities, and further scientific knowledge.

-:Application excerpt:
+===East Tennessee State University Department of Geosciences - Type II===
-::"The HDF Group (THG) is a not-for-profit “spin-off” company from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. The THG staff are the same group that created the “Hierarchical Data Format” or HDF, in 1988. Two HDF formats exist, and both are among the premier scientific data formats in the world, and serve as the standard for many large projects and organizations."

-:Application excerpt:
+:Website: https://www.etsu.edu/cas/geosciences/
-::"NASA Earth Observations (NEO) dramatically simplifies public access to georeferenced imagery of NASA remote sensing data. NEO targets the unsophisticated, non-traditional data users who are currently underserved by the existing data ordering systems. These users include formal and informal educators, museum and science center personnel, professional communicators, and citizen scientists and amateur Earth observers."

-===Virtual Solar-Terrestrial Observatory (VSTO) (Type II Research)===
-:Application excerpt:
-::"The overall goal of our projects and activities is to integrate a balance of data/model holdings, portals and client software, and a semantically rich, ontology-enabled framework that provides an environment that researchers can use without undue effort as if all the materials were available on their local computers. Our work includes the conception, design, development and deployment of production data frameworks built on semantic web technologies and methodologies. We focus on user-centric data search, query, access and use with the goal of enabling data integration virtual data product generation, data fusion, analysis and visualization. In conjunction with our collaborators, we develop and deploy inter-disciplinary Virtual Observatories. We also develop and deploy high performance data access and transport mechanisms (OPeNDAP). We actively participate in community outreach activities, working groups and international professional associations, and standards organizations."
