National Center for Earth-Surface Dynamics Data Repository

In its 10-year tenure, NCED has made major contributions to the growth of Earth-Surface Dynamics (ESD) through direct research in three Integrated Programs (IP) of Streams, Watersheds and Deltas. These contributions include: Establishment of experimental geomorphology and stratigraphy as a major source of insight in ESD, Integration of quantitative methods from engineering, physics, and applied math into ESD, Advances in the coupling of life, especially vegetation, and landscape dynamics, Integration of a variety of novel methods from stochastic hydrology, including nonlocal transport and multifractal spatial signatures, into ESD, Advances in providing the scientific basis for restoring streams, and Integration of subsurface structure and stratigraphic records into understanding present-day delta dynamics. All data created or compiled by NCED-funded scientists is archived here.

在过去的十年间，NCED通过对河流、流域和三角洲三个综合项目（IP）的直接研究，对地表动力学（ESD）的发展做出了重大贡献。这些贡献包括：将实验地貌学和地层学确立为ESD领域洞察力的主要来源，将工程、物理和应用数学的定量方法整合到ESD中，生命（尤其是植被）与景观动力学的耦合研究取得进展，将随机水文学的各种新颖方法（包括非局部传输和多分形空间特征）整合到ESD中，在为河流恢复提供科学依据方面取得进展，以及将地下结构和地层记录整合到对现代三角洲动力学理解中。所有由NCED资助的科学家创建或汇编的数据均存档于此。
