Phenology at the Deutscher Wetterdienst deals with the periodically recurring growth and development phenomena of plants during the course of a year. The beginning of characteristic vegetation stages (phases) are observed and recorded. These are closely connected to the weather and climate and are thus suited for the most varied areas of application and for manifold scientific studies. ... [Information of the supplier]

Understanding both the climate and the functioning of the earth as a system is one of the largest challenges of our time. In this context, polar regions play a pivotal role. Melting ice caps at the poles will cause sea levels to rise and, consequently, will make many coastal areas uninhabitable. Thawing of permafrost regions will release enormous quantities of the greenhouse gas methane. Hence, what happens to the polar regions has a direct effect on our lives. In the past, three large-scale international initiatives were aimed at studying the polar regions. These extensive scientific events, with numerous expeditions, establishment of new research stations and internationally coordinated observation programmes, significantly enhanced our knowledge of the polar regions. The International Polar Year 2007/08 intends to continue this tradition. Large-scale measuring campaigns and field studies will facilitate our understanding of the earth and its climate. This will be the only way to prepare for upcoming changes of our environment. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]

GeoCASe (Geosciences Collection Access Service) is an extended version of BioCASE (Biological Collection Access Service), which is a transnational network of biological collections of all kinds, using an XML-based ABCD ("Access to Biological Collection Database") schema. For our purpose the ABCD schema was extended to ABCDEFG ("ABCD Extended for Geosciences"). Making geosciences collection data openly and universally available to foster scientific research development internationally and to support the public use of these data are the goals and principles of GeoCASe. ...
