ESS-DIVE visited the Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL) in July 2017 to meet with the CDIAC team, and several of the ESS projects. The trip provided an opportunity for the ESS-DIVE team to brief ORNL personnel on the archive, discuss the transition of CDIAC data and services in depth, and discuss needs and plans with ESS project teams at ORNL. The ESS-DIVE team also met with the DOE Office of Science, Technology and Innovation (OSTI) to discuss strategic partnership opportunities for improved citation and search of ESS-DIVE data and code.
