NASA’s Earth Observing System (EOS) Data and Information System (EOSDIS) manages the data from EOS satellite instruments and other Earth science measurement systems. Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs) process, archive, and distribute EOSDIS data products. Each DAAC specializes in one or more of the Earth science disciplines that collectively constitute global change science. The data centers of the DAAC Alliance cooperate to provide a full range of support to meet the needs of their user communities.

The DAAC Alliance provides many products and programs that are valuable teaching and learning resources. These products are available through the Web and/or on physical media, including CD-ROMs, videocassettes, and printed materials. The programs include interactive online activities and even classroom participation in mission activities. The hands-on programs are learning and skill-building assets for enriching the educational environment and enhancing student interest in the Earth sciences.
