Thank you for your interest in linking to the ORNL DAAC Regional and Global Environmental Data (RGD) Collection. Some pertinent information for linking to our site follows:

URL to RGD (Link): http://daac.ornl.gov/daacpages/mercury.html
Suggested Label: Regional and Global Data for Global Change Research from ORNL DAAC.
Suggested Link Description: Comprehensive metadata catalog for data sets and models on the biogeochemical dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems. Metadata contain links to data and models held by other data centers. Included in the database are climate, gas exchange, hydroclimatology, land use and land cover change, soil, and vegetation data, as well as data from networks of field sites. In addition, RGD contains links to models used to assess biogeochemical dynamics and terrestrial ecology.

Please kindly send an email to: ornldaac@ornl.gov when the link is established.
