The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) recently issued a “Dear Colleague” letter (DCL) to stimulate the use and reuse of long-term environmental data sets, such as that generated by the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI). Other examples of multidisciplinary data sets/projects include:
- Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT)
- Arctic Observing Network (AON)
- Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS)
- Centers for Transformative Environmental Monitoring Programs (CTEMPs)
- Critical Zone research (CZ)
- National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON)
- Long-Term Research in Environmental Biology (LTREB)
- Long-term Ecological Research (LTER)
To learn more about this DCL opportunity (NSF 24-081), its goals and how to respond, please visit the NSF website.
