Also need to access data sources that are not “Web-ready”.

MissionEstablish and continuously improve science-based end-to-end processes that increase the quality and value of scientifically sound Earth science information provided in a timely manner by a federation of partners collaborating to improve their collective services

Strategic Goals 1. Serve as facilitator and advisor for the Earth science information community. 2. Promote efficient flow of Earth science data from collection to end-use. 3. Improve quality and usability of Earth science data and information systems. 4. Expand the use of Earth science information – get it to the decision-makers.5. Educate the public about Earth science and science information systems.

ESIP Federation Clusters Clusters are formed by a group of ESIP members to address a particular problem of interestIntended to promote informal, easy exchange of information among partners
