The Data Curation for Discovery (DCD) project focuses on design and implements a systematic plan to assist other agencies in incorporating NASA Earth observation data into their workflows. The DCD team improves the discoverability of NASA Earth science data and other curated Earth observation data in trusted catalogs and on platforms, such as data.gov and geoplatform.gov.
To support the accurate publication of NASA Earth observations in these platforms, the DCD team routinely monitors and updates Data.gov’s climate collection and Geoplatform’s Resilience Community. Additionally, DCD creates a profile of agency needs captured through the federal-civil satellite needs survey conducted by the United States Group on Earth Observations (USGEO) Satellite Needs Working Group (SNWG). The team publicizes the outcomes of SNWG surveys through Earthdata. The DCD team also gathers training resources and workshop information for select SNWG solutions to address the training needs of users and support the Stakeholder Engagement Program (SEP).

The DCD team maintains several web pages and data portals to ensure that SNWG data products and associated capacity-building resources are available to SNWG stakeholders and user communities.
