Climate Change & Environmental Data Science and Systems
Objective: Advance environmental research and policy by developing and providing leading-edge, integrated environmental data management and delivery systems, particularly in the areas of:
- Carbon Cycle and Carbon Sequestration
- Climatic Change Research
- Atmospheric Radiation Measurements
- Biogeochemistry of Terrestrial Ecosystems
- Biodiversity
We provide value-added data and analysis tools used to:
- Enable an objective assessment of the potential for, and consequences of, global change
- Improve the treatment of cloud and radiation physics in global climate models in order to improve the climate simulation capabilities of these models
- Understand the complexity of the carbon cycle and the linkages to physical, biogeochemical and ecological processes and human influences
- Harvest, index, and search metadata for the discovery and delivery of spatiotemporal data
