Use the DOE Data Explorer (DDE) to find scientific research data - such as computer simulations, numeric data files, figures and plots, interactive maps, multimedia, and scientific images - generated in the course of DOE-sponsored research in various science disciplines. The DOE Data Explorer includes a database of citations prepared by the Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) based on the information found at data-hosting websites. It is intended to be particularly useful to students, the public, and to researchers who are new to a field or looking for experimental or observational data outside their normal field of expertise.
EarthTrends: The Environmental Information Portal - NATURAL COASTAL FEATURES
More Information
Here, the general distribution of natural characteristics in tidal and near-shore areas is illustrated. The characterization of the world’s shoreline is based upon the occurrence of habitat types, such as coral reefs, mangroves, other tidal wetlands, barrier islands, estuaries, and sea ice. It also integrates information on continental shelf width and the slope of nearby terrestrial areas. As shown in Map 1, the world’s coastlines are quite diverse in terms of physiographical characteristics. A mountainous, narrow shelf and some estuarine systems dominate the Mediterranean coastline, coral reefs and mangroves are predominant in the Middle East and Insular Southeast Asia, while East Africa has a varied coastline with coral reefs, mangroves, and coastal plains along a narrow shelf.
Galveston Bay Information Center
More Information
The Galveston Bay Information Center's (GBIC) mission is to serve as a repository for information and as a resource for research on Galveston Bay, its watershed, and the coastal region for all members of the Galveston Bay Community and anyone interested in the coastal community. GBIC provides a clearinghouse for information about this vital resource.
GulfBase - Resource Database for Gulf of Mexico Research
More Information
GulfBase is a database of resources about the Gulf of Mexico. The goal of this website is to regroup, synthesize, and make freely available Gulf of Mexico research information. Our vision is that GulfBase will help researchers, policy makers, and the general public work together to insure long-term sustainable use and conservation of the Gulf of Mexico.
Marine Realms Information Bank

Access to free online scientific information about oceans, coasts, and coastal watersheds
National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII)
More Information
The National Biological Information Infrastructure <NBII> is a broad, collaborative program to provide increased access to data and information on the nation's biological resources. The NBII links diverse, high-quality biological databases, information products, and analytical tools maintained by NBII partners and other contributors in government agencies, academic institutions, non-government organizations, and private industry. NBII partners and collaborators also work on new standards, tools, and technologies that make it easier to find, integrate, and apply biological resources information. Resource managers, scientists, educators, and the general public use the NBII to answer a wide range of questions related to the management, use, or conservation of this nation's biological resources.
National Coastal Condition Reports | National Coastal ...
More Information
The National Coastal Condition Reports describe the ecological and environmental conditions in U.S. coastal waters. They summarize the condition of ecological resources in the coastal waters of the United States and highlight several exemplary federal, state, tribal, and local programs that assess coastal ecological and water quality conditions.

Global climate change is arguably the most far-reaching challenge of this century. A free-access web resource from Nature Publishing Group, Nature Reports Climate Change is dedicated to authoritative in-depth reporting on climate change and its wider implications for policy, society and the economy.
NOAA :: National Marine Fisheries Service
More Information
NOAA Fisheries Service is dedicated to the stewardship of living marine resources through science-based conservation and management, and the promotion of healthy ecosystems.
As a steward, NOAA Fisheries Service conserves, protects, and manages living marine resources in a way that ensures their continuation as functioning components of marine ecosystems, affords economic opportunities, and enhances the quality of life for the American public.

As part of the federal government’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Coastal Services Center works with private and public sector partners to address coastal issues. Many of the Center's products, services, and initiatives are profiled on this website.
NOAA Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management : Programs Division
More Information
The National Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Program is a voluntary partnership between the federal government and U.S. coastal states and territories authorized by the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972. The Coastal Programs Division, within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, administers the program at the federal level and works with state coastal zone management partners to balance coastal development with resource conservation.
More Information
NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) is the nation's premier science agency for oceans and coasts.
NOS delivers the tools and services needed to understand, predict, and respond to the challenges we face along America's 95,000 miles of shoreline and 3.5 million square miles of coastal, Great Lakes, and deep-ocean waters.
NOAA's National Weather Service
More Information
The National Weather Service (NWS) provides weather, hydrologic, and climate forecasts and warnings for the United States, its territories, adjacent waters and ocean areas, for the protection of life and property and the enhancement of the national economy. NWS data and products form a national information database and infrastructure which can be used by other governmental agencies, the private sector, the public, and the global community.

sciencefriday.com - making science user-friendly
More Information
Website for Science Friday, a weekly science talk show, broadcast live over public radio stations nationwide from 2-4pm Eastern time as part of NPR's 'Talk of the Nation' programming. Each week, we focus on science topics that are in the news and try to bring an educated, balanced discussion to bear on the scientific issues at hand. Panels of expert guests join Science Friday's host, Ira Flatow, a veteran science journalist, to discuss science - and to take questions from listeners during the call-in portion of the program.
ScienceResearch.com - The World's Science, All in One Place
More Information
ScienceResearch.com is a free, publicly available deep web search engine that uses advanced "federated search technology" to return high quality results by submitting your search query - in real-time - to other well respected search engines then collating, ranking and dropping duplicates of the results.
Scientific Commons | A Community for Scientific Information
More Information
The major aim of the project is to develop the world's largest communication medium for scientific knowledge products which is freely accessible to the public. A key challenge of the project is to support the rapidly growing number of movements and archives who admit the free distribution and access to scientific knowledge. These are the valuable sources for the ScientificCommons.org project. The ScientificCommons.org project makes it possible to access the largely distributed sources with their vast amount of scientific publications via just one common interface. ScientificCommons.org identifies authors from all archives and makes their social and professional relationships transparent and visible to anyone across disciplinary, institutional and technological boundaries.
United States Global Change Research Program
More Information
The U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) coordinates and integrates federal research on changes in the global environment and their implications for society. The USGCRP began as a presidential initiative in 1989 and was mandated by Congress in the Global Change Research Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-606), which called for "a comprehensive and integrated United States research program which will assist the Nation and the world to understand, assess, predict, and respond to human-induced and natural processes of global change."
