Research data
Unrestricted access to data helps advance science. An important part of research at sea is the collection of data, both ship's data and research data. Given the large amount of data collected during cruises, proper data management is essential. International research requires that data is stored in specific formats in specialized international data centers. We maintain and contribute to a number of online data portals.
NIOZ offers research data in a number of data portals. We also contribute to numerous national and international data portals. We take an active part in organisations for data management, including the National Oceanographic Data Committee of the Netherlands (NODC), the European SeaDataNet and European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODNet), and the global Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCADM).
