- Careers
Research increasingly requires working with both large amounts of data as well as diverse types of data. Additionally, data reuse is being encouraged as a means to build on previous research and to enable answering larger and more complex problems through combining data sources. So, how can data producers make their data more openly available and reusable? And how can generating data and providing open access to it be an engagement opportunity?
The Ocean Observatories (OOI) is a major facility fully funded by the National Science Foundation under Cooperative Agreement No. 1743430 to gather, distribute, and preserve real-time data of the world’s oceans. Their effort is an exceptional example of a project that makes immense amounts of data openly available in understandable ways as well as actively engages users of these data to further reuse potential.
Dr. James Edson is a Senior Scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering and the Lead PI of the Program Management Office (PMO) of the National Science Foundation’s Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI).
Jeffrey Glatstein is the Senior Manager of Cyberinfrastructure and Data Delivery Lead at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the National Science Foundations' Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI).
Craig Risien is the Project Manager for the National Science Foundations' Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) Cyberinfrastructure data center.
