"The Encyclopedia of Earth (EoE) is an electronic reference about the Earth, its natural environments, and their interaction with society. The EoE is a free, expert-reviewed collection of content contributed by scholars, professionals, educators, practitioners and other experts who collaborate and review each other's work."

The NODC provides ocean data management and ocean data services to researchers and other users in the United States and around the world.

National Coastal Data Development Center "...is tasked to build the long-term coastal data record to support environmental prediction, scientific analyses, and formulation of public policy." Find interactive maps for coastal habitats, ocean exploration and environmental monitoring.

"The CISL Research Data Archive (RDA) contains a large and diverse collection of meteorological and oceanographic observations, operational and reanalysis model outputs, and remote sensing datasets to support atmospheric and geosciences research."

"PetDB contains and provides on-line access to data for sub-oceanic igneous and metamorphic rocks generated at mid-ocean ridges including back-arc basins, young seamounts, and old oceanic crust. PetDB is a project funded by the National Science Foundation."

This data portal now incorporates the former NOAA World Data Center for Oceanography.
