Other Science Data Management Resources

Other sites are available to researchers to help manage their data.
Not all NSF-funded projects are supported free of charge by BCO-DMO. Some other recommended data centers include:

• For NSF-sponsored Physical Oceanography projects, investigators are encouraged to archive their data directly with the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC).
• For marine geology, contact the Interdisciplinary Earth Data Alliance (IEDA) group hosted at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University.
• For projects supported by NSF Arctic Sciences Program (ARC) investigators, the newly formed Arctic Data Center which succeeds the Advanced Cooperative Arctic Data and Information Service (ACADIS), should be contacted. The Arctic Data Center is supported by NSF and is led by the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) at the University of California Santa Barbara, to develop and curate the NSF Arctic Data Center, an archive for Arctic scientific data as well as other related research documents.
• Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI) funded projects can submit data to their regional GoMRI location. See https://data.gulfresearchinitiative.org/about for additional information including their data management plan under the "Design and Management" menu option.
