Welcome to the NCEAS Data Repository. This repository contains information

about the research data sets collected and collated within or under the
50 
auspices of NCEAS' funded activities.  Some of the data are synthetic
51 
data sources that originated from the efforts of many contributors, while
52 
others might have originated from a single investigator.  Credit for the
53 
datasets in this repository goes to the investigators who collected the data,
54 
and also to the NCEAS working groups and scientists who compiled the data
55 
for synthetic purposes. See each data package for a list of the people and

institutions involved.
