| Description |
The mission of eLTER is to facilitate high impact research and catalyse new insights about the compounded impacts of climate change, biodiversity loss, soil degradation, pollution, and unsustainable resource use in terrestrial, freshwater, and transitional water ecosystems.
The pan-European, in-situ research infrastructure will serve multiple scientific communities with high-level central facilities and distributed well-instrumented eLTER Sites. At socio-ecological eLTSER Platforms we combine our socio-ecological approach in studying integrated human-nature systems and our commitment to integrating stakeholder knowledge. Novel data services and products will result from combining harmonized standard observations at the sites with information from a wide range of other sources. These and other services will be accessible to a broad diversity of users from local to continental scales.
DEIMS-SDR (Dynamic Ecological Information Management System - Site and dataset registry) is an information management system powered by eLTER. It allows you to discover long-term ecosystem research sites around the globe, along with the data gathered at those sites and the people and networks associated with them. DEIMS-SDR describes a wide range of sites, providing a wealth of information, including each site’s location, ecosystems, facilities, parameters measured and research themes. It is also possible to access a growing number of datasets and data products associated with the sites.
DEIMS-SDR is accessible at https://deims.org/. Genereal information about ELTER is found at https://elter-ri.eu/
DEIMS-SDR belongs to the service components of the emerging eLTER Research Infrastructure. While being used as eLTER site registry it also offers services to European peers and the global user communities. |
