MEaSUREs
The NASA Making Earth Science Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) project aims to develop consistent global and continent scale data records related to Earth science, or Earth System Data Records (ESDRs). The program supports individual scientists and groups in data product generation, using proven algorithms and input data sets. In effect, MEaSURES projects function as additional processing facilities for NASA, and are subject to rigorous standards for data quality, validation, algorithm description, documentation, and delivery.

SEARISE
Sea-level Response to Ice Sheet Evolution (SeaRISE) is a community organized effort to estimate the upper bound of ice sheet contributions to sea level in the next 100--200 years. SeaRISE objectives include
developing a set of common input data, designing and executing a set of numerical experiments employing a wide range ice sheet models, and refining details of rapidly responding areas in particular experiments with ice stream/ice-shelf or ice-shelf/ocean regional models.
