There remains a need for the Earth Science Community to be supported in determining the most appropriate repository for submission of their data for sharing, reuse and long term preservation. There are several criteria of importance to data creators in addition to specific funder, institutional and/or publisher guidance and multiple education, outreach and catalog resources have been developed in support of this challenge (e.g. re3data.org, FAIRsFAIR, repository finder decision tree, DataSeer). In this session we will briefly discuss existing resources in order to understand gaps and opportunities. Through a facilitated discussion we will identify opportunities for unique contribution to this space in support of the Earth science community, and next steps. The remainder of the session will be run as a working activity to begin to forward these activities.
