GoMRC Project Team
The Gulf of Mexico Regional Collaborative (GoMRC) is a partnership of Battelle, The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), and Oregon State University. Together these institutions bring strong expertise in coastal and marine sciences, information technology, and earth observation systems, as well as experience with regional-scale collaborations that address critical resource management challenges.
The project team builds on the work of state and federal agencies, NGOs and academic institutions in the Gulf region. In the northern Gulf, GoMRC is working closely with the Gulf of Mexico Alliance member organizations to ensure a broad understanding of resource management issues, information availability and information needs. Resource managers and academic institutions in Mexico are also participating to help provide a regional ecosystem-scale perspective of Gulf of Mexico
Project Sponsors
Initial funding for GoMRC was provided by the NASA Applied Sciences program. Additional support was provided by the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) through the NASA Infomart program.
End User Advisory Committee
To ensure that the GoMRC system and tools are aligned with what decision makers need, an End User Advisory Committee was formed to provide input on user requirements, to provide linkages to existing programs and data sources, and to review the GoMRC system at each step in its development.
Advisory committee members come from federal, state, and local agencies, non-governmental organizations, academic institutions, and private industry, and span the U.S. and Mexico. The following organizations are represented on the GoMRC End User Advisory Committee:
