The Environmental System Science Data Infrastructure for a Virtual Ecosystem (ESS-DIVE) is a data repository for Earth and environmental sciences. We collect, store, manage, and share Earth and environmental systems data created through research sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy. The volume, complexity, and heterogeneity of earth and environmental science data makes information difficult to capture, store, verify, analyze, and share.
