The Earth System Atlas is a Data Publication, Visualization and Analysis Portal under development in the Environmental Initiative at Lehigh University in collaboration with colleagues at the University of Bristol, the Complex Systems Research Center at the University Of New Hampshire, and at the e-Science Centre at the University of Reading.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Earth System Atlas is to acquire, peer-review and publish data from the entire spectrum of Earth System research, to standardize metadata information as far as possible, and to offer statistical and visualization tools that will allow these data to be combined and manipulated in meaningful ways.
