Integrated Data System
We are working with other CZOs to develop cross-CZO capabilities for sharing, integrating, analyzing, and preserving CZO data.
Wide ranging data
CZO datasets are a powerful resource for developing and testing Earth system models. We produce a large volume of data from a wide range of physical, chemical, and biological disciplines as well as spatial and temporal scales. This "flood" of disparate observational data partly reflects a new generation of integrated measurements. For example, we are using LIDAR imagery, copious isotopic samples, and low-cost sensors; others are also using eddy correlation and embedded sensor networks.
Partners
The Boulder Creek CZO is working with the Niwot Ridge Long-Term Ecological Research site (NWT-LTER) to share data, including environmental datasets in the Boulder Creek watershed collected by LTER for decades.
