Margaret O'Brien

University of California
Data Specialist
Santa Barbara Coastal LTER, Environmental Data Initiative

My academic background is in biological oceanography. Today, I am a data specialist working with the Environmental Data Initiative (EDI) plus ecosystem-level projects conducting primary research, like the LTER network, and a marine Biodiversity Observation Network. My primary data management interests are repository operations, metadata and vocabulary development and usage.
