Abstract - The Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Long-Term Ecological Research (GCE-LTER) program is committed to broadening participation within our ranks. We seek to create an inclusive environment where all persons are welcome and respected.
In accordance with new NSF guidance about broadening participation (April 18, 2025, https://www.nsf.gov/updates-on-priorities), we have sunset our past GCE Diversity Implementation Plan and DEI committee.
With the GCE-V award, we have established a Broadening Participation Committee and developed a Broadening Participation Plan and BP Implementation plan. These plans will seek to ensure that GCE activities are open and available to all Americans, and that we do not prefer or exclude any individuals or groups. The GCE-LTER Broadening Participation Plan will lay out broad goals for the project in terms of broadening participation in GCE activities so that they are available to all. The Implementation Plan will be a companion document that describes in detail what the project has already done, and what specific actions we plan for the coming years to broaden participation in our program.
The past DEI committee did not receive any direct funding, and the Broadening Participation Committee will not either.

Abstract - This PDF file contains an annotated database schema image (entity-relationship diagram) for the refactored GCE Metadata Database (GCE_Metabase2) as implemented using SQL Server 2000. The diagram lists all tables and attributes as well as attribute data types and foreign key relationships between tables. This database is used to manage metadata for all GCE-LTER data sets as well as GCE personnel and tabular geographic information. This database can be queried on the WWW at http://gce-lter.marsci.uga.edu/public/app/data_catalog.asp.

Abstract - This PDF file contains an annotated database schema image (entity-relationship diagram) for the research project management tables in the GCE Submissions Database (GCE_Submissions), as implemented using SQL Server 2000. The diagram lists all tables and attributes as well as attribute data types and foreign key relationships between tables. This database is used to manage research project information linked to personnel, publications, study sites, data sets and other resources managed in GCE databases. Registered research projects can be viewed at http://gce-lter.marsci.uga.edu/public/research/projects.asp, and also from links on GCE research question pages and data set summary pages.

This database was designed to comply with the LTER Projects Database schema (http://intranet.lternet.edu/im/project/LTERProjectDatabase), and project-eml XML documents are dynamically generated using database views and a web application.

Abstract - This PDF file contains an annotated database schema image (entity-relationship diagram) for the file archive tables in the GCE Submissions Database (GCE_Submissions), as implemented using SQL Server 2000. The diagram lists all tables and attributes as well as attribute data types and foreign key relationships between tables. This database is used to manage the GCE document and imagery archive, which is cross-referenced to the GCE Bibliographic Database and GCE Taxonomic Database to provide integrated searching for public and private file resources. This database can be queried on the WWW at http://gce-lter.marsci.uga.edu/public/app/resource_search.asp.

Abstract - This PDF file contains an annotated database schema image (entity-relationship diagram) for the GCE Bibliographic Database (GCE_Biblio) as implemented using SQL Server 2000. The diagram lists all tables and attributes as well as attribute data types and foreign key relationships between tables. This database is used to manage all bibliographic citations for the GCE-LTER project as well as the Georgia Rivers LMER project and University of Georgia Marine Institute (UGAMI). This database can be queried on the WWW at http://gce-lter.marsci.uga.edu/public/app/biblio_query.asp.

Abstract - This PDF file contains an annotated database schema image (entity-relationship diagram) for a prototype GCE Cruise Database as implemented using SQL Server 7. The diagram lists all tables and attributes as well as attribute data types and foreign key relationships between tables. This database is under development and is not fully populated.

Abstract - This PDF file contains an annotated database schema image (entity-relationship diagram) for the GCE Taxonomic Database as implemented using SQL Server 2000. The diagram lists all tables and attributes as well as attribute data types and foreign key relationships between tables. This database is used to manage taxonomic information for all organisms listed in GCE-LTER species lists and data set metadata. This database can be queried on the WWW at http://gce-lter.marsci.uga.edu/public/app/all_species_lists.asp.
