Terrapop aims to lower barriers in interdisciplinary human-environment research by providing interoperable data across various scientific domains, focusing on integrating population and environmental data. The initiative plans to expand its data collection and establish protocols for scholars to deposit their data, while upcoming activities include the beta release of a user interface and participation in multiple conferences. It serves as a cyberinfrastructure for analyzing and preserving critical demographic and environmental datasets.

- 2. TerraPop Goals Lower barriers to conducting interdisciplinary human- environment interactions research by making data with different formats from different scientific domains easily interoperable Provide an organizational and technical framework to preserve, integrate, disseminate, and analyze global- scale spatiotemporal data describing population and the environment.
- 3. TerraPop in Context Collaborating Organizations • Data integration expertise • Large census and survey data collections & expertise • Institutional foundation • Human-environment interactions research expertise • Environmentally-oriented data collections & expertise • Data preservation and sustainability expertise • Social science data collections & expertise • Major producers and distributors of data on both humans and their environment • Major producers of tools for integrating and transforming data across formats • Leaders in preservation and sustainability
