BCO-DMO curates a database of research-ready data spanning the full range of marine ecosystem related measurements including in-situ and remotely sensed observations, experimental and model results, and synthesis products. We work closely with investigators to publish data and information from research projects in accordance with F.A.I.R. (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reuseable) data principles.
