OR&R’s Spatial Data Branch at NOAA's Environmental Data Management Workshop

JANUARY 8, 2016--OR&R’s Spatial Data Branch participated in the NOAA 2106 Environmental Data Management Workshop in Washington, D.C. on January 4-5, 2016. The workshop included scientists and data managers from all of NOAA’s line offices, and presented an excellent forum for discussion of data management successes and challenges. This workshop also provided OR&R with an opportunity to provide an update on how our office is addressing mandates and plans for environmental data management and sharing. Ben Shorr, a physical scientist with the Spatial Data Branch, gave a presentation on OR&R’s work developing the DIVER (Data Integration, Visualization, Exploration and Reporting) data warehouse and query tools in support of the Deepwater Horizon Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration efforts. Ben’s presentation also highlighted the Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA Gulf Response) and DIVER’s role in providing public access to the unprecedented amount of NRDA data, and our efforts to build a National DIVER application to support OR&R’s on-going and future cases.
