Abstract:

The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee EVOSTC (EVOSTC) requires a data management approach composed of methods covering the entire data lifecycle, from immediately after data collection, to long-term preservation, to discovery and reuse. Since 2012, the Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS) and its technical partner, Axiom Data Science (Axiom), have provided data management services for both the “Long-Term Monitoring of Marine Conditions and Injured Resources and Services” Program (i.e., Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA)) and the ”Herring Research and Monitoring” (HRM) Program. These two programs have leveraged the existing data management capacity of AOOS, and have also helped inform and improve the overall AOOS data management, access, and visualization tools. Beginning in FY20, AOOS and Axiom also began providing data management services for individual EVOSTC-funded Non-Program Projects (NPP) using the same approach and infrastructure that leverages the existing data management capacity of AOOS. Going forward in 2022-2031, the EVOSTC requested that a single program proposal be submitted for data management services to support the GWA and HRM Programs (now combined into a single program - the Gulf Watch of Alaska Long-term Research and Monitoring (GWA LTRM) Program), the continuing NPPs, and any newly-funded NPPs funded under the FY22-31 Invitation for Proposals. The AOOS-Axiom team and mature infrastructure remain best situated to continue providing data services to EVOSTC-funded programs and projects to maintain continuity and build upon the ongoing data management efforts. AOOS and Axiom Data Science propose to continue providing access to the tools and services for which the principal investigators (PIs) of the GWA LTRM Program and the continuing NPPs depend. Among these are the Research Workspace, a web-based data management platform; the AOOS Gulf of Alaska (GOA) Data Portal, where project data will be shared publicly; and the DataONE Member Node where final data sets will be archived for long-term preservation and broad access across multiple data repositories. Building upon these prior efforts, the AOOS-Axiom team is well poised to deliver continued success in facilitating the access and curation of EVOSTC data to support decision-making related to Spill affected ecosystems.

The FY23 proposal includes funding for FY23 data management services for project 23120114-N Long-term killer whale monitoring project.

This project was approved for the FY22-FY26 funding cycle.

The FY23 proposal amendment adjusted the FY23-FY31 budget to reflect the termination of project 22220203.

The FY24 proposal amendment adjusted the FY24-FY26 budget to reflect the addition of approved work described in the FY24 budget reallocation request for project 2422LTRM.
