| Description: | The primary mission of the GeoSpatial Data and Climate Services (GDCS) group is to provide a cross-cutting service to all of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) regarding data, information, and other services needed to support data management activities within the National Environmental Data and Information Service (NESDIS), across all NOAA Line Offices, with other federal agencies, as well as with international organizations on matters of data and information management. Data management deals with acquiring, quality controlling, preserving, storing, and providing user access to data holdings. GDCS planning and liaison functions stress cooperative efforts across NOAA and among agencies and international partners for facilitating environmental information exchange and user access.
