Sharing & Sustaining Ecosystem Data
1 like1,706 views
TERN is a network that enables data sharing and collaboration on ecosystem science across Australia. It collects and stores ecosystem data through various programs and sites, and makes data accessible through online portals. This allows researchers to access and integrate diverse data sources to address important questions about ecosystems and inform management. Going forward, TERN aims to establish open data standards and make all Australian ecosystem research data findable, accessible and citable to advance scientific understanding.
Sharing & Sustaining Ecosystem Data
