Current Projects

Network Information System (NIS)

The LTER Network Information System (NIS) exposes and merges heterogeneous data from the 26 LTER sites into a standard format available for the Network and broader community to perform synthetic analysis. The development of the NIS is guided by the Network Information System Advisory Committee (NISAC) and the NIS Strategic Plan. [see details]

Cyberinfrastructure Team Project

Cyberinfrastructure attempts to connect data, computers, and people so they may combine their knowledge and expertise to solve problems and develop new scientific theories. Progress in this field depends on workforce development both within computer science and across many scientific disciplines. The goal of this University of New Mexico project (http://www.scidesign.org) is to train and distribute a group of interdisciplinary scientists who can employ cyberinfrastructure-enhanced approaches in their work.
