Deep Insight for Earth Science Data

ESS-DIVE is a game changer…

by

A recent news article mentions ESS-DIVE as a game changer for environmental research.

“Now accessing archival data generated by environmental field, experimental and modeling activities has gotten much easier with the April 1 launch of ESS-DIVE (Environmental System Science – Data Infrastructure for a Virtual Ecosystem)—a digital archive that serves as a repository for hundreds of U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)-funded research projects under the agency’s Environmental System Science umbrella, which includes the Subsurface Biogeochemical Research and Terrestrial Ecosystem Sciences programs. The digital library also serves datasets that were previously stored in DOE’s Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center archive..”

ESS-DIVE at the ESS PI Meeting

by

ESS-DIVE played an active role at the ESS PI and Cyberinfrastructure working group meetings, held on Apr 29-May 2, 2018 in Washington DC. The focus of ESS-DIVE activities was on outreach and training following the launch of the ESS-DIVE data portal on April 1, 2018.

ESS-DIVE activities at the PI meeting included:
– A plenary talk “ESS Data Archive Update”
– Posters titled “ESS-DIVE
– A hands-on demonstration and tutorial.
– An engaging discussion with the ESS Cyberinfrastructure working groups

ESS-DIVE visits SLAC SFA/Stanford

by

ESS-DIVE visited Stanford in December 2017 to meet with the SLAC SFA team, and the DOE university project “A Multiscale Approach to Modeling Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling within a High Elevation Watershed” led by Kate Maher. The ESS-DIVE team briefed the two projects on their latest developments and plans, and had an in-depth discussion on their data needs and plans.

ESS-DIVE@AGU 2017

by

Deb Agarwal presented a talk on ESS-DIVE at the AGU Fall Meeting, 2017 in New Orleans USA. The talk was titled “Environmental System Science Data Infrastructure for a Virtual Ecosystem (ESS-DIVE) – A New U.S. DOE Data Archive” in the session “Earth and Environmental Data Repositories: Considerations for Choosing the Most Appropriate II.”

The abstract can be viewed at the AGU scientific program.
