CIESIN, a research unit of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, works at the intersection of the social, natural, and information sciences. The unit specializes in online data and information management, spatial data integration and training, and interdisciplinary research related to human interactions in the environment. CIESIN designed and created the interactive website, online database, and mapping tools for the NYBD. The development of NYBD at CIESIN was funded by generous support from the Center for Environmental Research and
Conservation (CERC) at Columbia University, and the
NBII Northeast Node and its parent program, the
Center for Biological Informatics
of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). CIESIN Project Personnel Information Technology Team GIS Team Information Services
