The information and integration component of the Global Change
Research Program provides the scientific interface through which technical
information can be obtained, evaluated, quality-assured, documented, and
distributed; the exchange of data can be promoted and facilitated; and high-quality
analyses of complex data can be performed to synthesize information used
in evaluating environmental issues. Specific objectives of the information
and integration component include promotion of networking among members of
the global-change community, preparation of technical and informational reports,
and sponsorship of scientific conferences. The
Carbon
Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) produces quality-assured
and fully documented numeric data and provides access to current global change
data and information. CDIAC distributes technical publications and produces
newsletters. CDIAC also responds to inquiries from an audience representing
broad interests for information on a wide variety of global-change topics.
