Technological advances in Earth observation and science have enabled the collection of vast quantities of data at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Managing the data and making data sets openly accessible to researchers not only can help to reduce redundancy in data collection and ensure the longevity of existing data, but also can lead to new insights as datasets are compared and interwoven.
