Lter Cyber-Infrastructure Plan External Review, Long Term Ecological Research Jan 2010

Lter Cyber-Infrastructure Plan External Review, Long Term Ecological Research

Long Term Ecological Research Network

The Cyber-infrastructure/Networked Information System external advisory panel conducted a review of the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network Office (LNO) Network Information System (NIS) Operational Plan.

This summary conclusion is that the operational plan is sufficiently comprehensive, organizes the sixteen major project tasks coherently, and scopes the effort at a generally appropriate level of detail.


Stream Organic Matter Budgets, J.R Webster, Judy L. Meyer Jan 1997

Stream Organic Matter Budgets, J.R Webster, Judy L. Meyer

Long Term Ecological Research Network

This analysis of organic matter dynamics in streams has 3 objectives: 1) to explore the relationships between physical characteristics of streams and their watersheds (climate, geomorphology) and steam organic matter dynamics using data from a broad geographic area; 2) to compare steam organic matter dynamics in a diverse array of steams in order to suggest determinants of observed patterns; and 3) to reveal deficiencies in currently available data on organic matter dynamics in steams. Streams were included in this analysis not to represent the global diversity of stream types but because organic matter data were available. In the introductory chapter …

1994 Ieee Computer Society Press Reprint, James W. Brunt Sep 1994

1994 Ieee Computer Society Press Reprint, James W. Brunt

Long Term Ecological Research Network

Effective management of ecological research data can insure the security and accessibility of data that cannot be collected again under the same conditions and plays a key role in every aspect of the research project from experimental design to publication. Commercial relational database management software, developed an adequate solution for long-term scientific data management. An archive file format provides the standard around which a data file management system is implemented. The system works within the parameters of existing components of the operating system software. Data filters and data engines are used to communicate data to and from applications. This paper …

Integration Of Scientific Information Management And Environmental Research, Susan G. Stafford, James W. Brunt, William K. Michener Jan 1994

Integration Of Scientific Information Management And Environmental Research, Susan G. Stafford, James W. Brunt, William K. Michener

Long Term Ecological Research Network

A new dynamic between science and technology is changing the management and analysis of environmental information. As a result of the expanding scope of environmental research, developers of environmental databases must now address difficult and diverse issues: the wide variety of data being considered for inclusion, the size and complexity of databases being collected; their design, development and utilization, the different scales of data collection; increasingly sophisticated analytical requirements; and the integration of data from various sources and disciplines. Increased attention to spatial variability, scale and the integration of basic and applied research to address societal issues has several implications …
