The U.S. Department of Energy?s (DOE) Environmental Systems Science Data Infrastructure for a Virtual Ecosystem (ESS-DIVE) is a data repository for Earth and environmental science data. ESS-DIVE is funded by the Data Management program within the Climate and Environmental Science Division under the DOE?s Office of Biological and Environmental Research program (BER), and is maintained by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
ESS-DIVE archives and publicly shares data obtained from observational, experimental, and modeling research that is funded by the DOE?s Office of Science under its Subsurface Biogeochemical Research (SBR) and Terrestrial Ecosystem Science (TES) programs within the Environmental Systems Science (ESS) activity.
The mission of ESS-DIVE is to preserve, expand access to, and improve usability of critical data generated through DOE-sponsored research of terrestrial and subsurface ecosystems in support of the DOE?s efforts to address some of society?s most pressing energy and environmental challenges.
