Kerstin Lehnert
Doherty Senior Research Scientist, Columbia University
AGU member since 1993. I develop and operate research data infrastructure for the Earth, Ocean, and Planetary sciences. I am passionate about working with international communities to advance the open sharing of science-ready data and samples in the geosciences to galvanize data-driven research and discoveries. I am Doherty Senior Research Scientist at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and director of the NSF-funded IEDA2 Data Facility and NASA's Astromaterials Data System.
