- Develop efficient approaches and methods (forms, surveys, tabulation, etc.) for tracking and reporting performance metrics and program outcomes, gathering information on our data users, and tracking data downloads and usage.
- Implement these approaches in coordination with technical and data management teams, and data repositories.
- Work with technical and data teams to ensure short and long-term data preservation in reliable repositories.
- Develop and implement approaches and methods for standardizing the way in which data is cleaned and how instrumentation is cared for across basins and universities. This needs to be well-documented.

- Develop and lead, or host, training courses on best practices for technical and DM teams.
- Lead technical, DM, and outreach and KM teams to work on an effective data strategy for managing real time and near-real time data, getting our data out to user groups in a timely and useful manner, and ensuring the long-term preservation of data.
