Partnership Vote

The following applications have been submitted for the Spring/Summer 2015 ESIP New Member Class.

Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies, Florida State University (COAPS) - ESIP-II (primarily a research center)

The Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) is a center of excellence performing interdisciplinary research in ocean-atmosphere-land-ice interactions to increase our understanding of the physical, social, and economic consequences of climate variability. COAPS hosts a marine data center specializing in underway observations from research vessels and remotely-sensed data from satellites. The data center actively collects, quality evaluates, and distributes data in delayed-mode to the marine climate community.

US Global Change Research Program GCIS Team (USGCRP GCIS) - ESIP-II (primarily a research center)

The US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP), a confederation of 13 agencies active in global change research, has established the Global Change Information System (GCIS) to better coordinate and integrate the use of federal information products on changes in the global environment and the implications of those changes for society. The GCIS is a web-based resource for traceable, sound global change data, information, and products. Designed for use by scientists, decision makers, and the public, the GCIS provides coordinated links to a select group of information products produced, maintained, and disseminated by government agencies and organizations.

University of California Natural Reserve System (UCNRS) - ESIP-II (primarily a research center)

The UC Natural Reserve System is a network of protected natural areas throughout California. Its 39 sites include more than 756,000 acres, making it the largest university-administered reserve system in the world. Most major state ecosystems are represented, from coastal tidepools to inland deserts, and lush wetlands to Sierra Nevada forests. The reserves also serve as a gateway to more than a million acres of public lands. Founded in 1965 to provide undisturbed environments for research, education, and public service, the Natural Reserve System contributes to the understanding and wise stewardship of the earth.
