	National Snow and Ice Data Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		NSIDC is part of the University of Colorado Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), and is affiliated with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Geophysical Data Center through a cooperative agreement.
		The National Snow and Ice Data Center, or NSIDC, is a United States information and referral center in support of polar and cryospheric research.
		In 1982, NOAA created the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) as a means to expand the WDC holdings and as a place to archive data from some NOAA programs.

	National Geophysical Data Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) provides scientific stewardship, products and services for geophysical data describing the solid earth, marine, and solar-terrestrial environment, as well as earth observations from space.
		The NGDC, located in Boulder, Colorado, is a part of the US Department of Commerce (USDOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS).
		NGDC's data holdings currently contain more than 300 digital and analog databases, some of which are very large.

	MGD77Readme.doc
		INTRODUCTION In January of 1977, a group of 24 geophysical data managers from academia, government, industry and foreign countries participated in a workshop at the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) in Boulder, Colorado.
		Geophysical data (bathymetry, magnetics, and gravity) and seismic identification (shot-point identification) are presented with a corresponding time and position.
		Data may be exchanged on via the Internet or on various mass storage devices such as 8mm or 9 track tapes, removable disks.

	WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE NATIONAL GEOPHYSICAL DATA CENTER IN GEOINFORMATICS?
		In 25 years the center has seen data distribution evolve from printed data catalogs and mailing of tapes, through online catalogs and FTP distribution, to the present state where new tools and technologies provide superb means to search for and obtain data via the Internet.
		NGDC’s goal is to serve the nation by providing access to geophysical data and information.
		Another challenge is to determine appropriate ways to describe and document the data with sufficient information so that the data can be discovered by users searching across distributed computer networks, and successfully used by both specialists and scientists from other fields.

	Thematic Approach to Enhanced Data Rescue at the National Geophysical Data Center
		Geophysical databases archived at NGDC contain measurements of the Earth's, and near-Earth space, physical properties that can be used to investigate the occurrence frequency of extreme and disastrous events as well as their causes and consequences.
		NGDC and its affiliated Snow and Ice Data Center are involved in studies and compilations for all these issues.
		NGDC has made substantial inroads in rescuing and archiving data from the Former Soviet Union, China and numerous other countries through cooperative projects, investments in infrastructure, and through bilateral agreements, Most of the successful efforts are related to data capture or rescue.
