Geosciences Open Science Ecosystem (GEO OSE)

The Geosciences Open Science Ecosystem (GEO OSE) program seeks to realize the benefits of open science practices toward advancing research and education in the geosciences. The program encourages efforts to foster adoption of open scientific practices across geoscience domains, supporting development of innovative open science approaches that advance geosciences research and education through leveraging expanding information resources and computing capabilities. GEO OSE projects may pursue a variety of activities including community building around defining a shared vision for open science, development and implementation of open science approaches that accelerate research discovery via seamless workflows connecting data, software, physical collections, and computing, and educational activities that instill open science practices and broaden adoption of cyberinfrastructure resources to reduce barriers to geoscience research and education. The program supports initiatives to strengthen the capacity of current and future geoscientists to access, utilize, and collaborate within the growing ecosystem of open science resources.
