I am pleased to share the lineup of oral talks and posters that will be presented this December at the 2016 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting in San Francisco. Many know of AGU as among the world’s most well-respected Earth science scholarly organizations, and its annual fall meeting dwarfs our UC by over 10,000 attendees. AGU 2016 expects 24,000 attendees, making it the largest Earth and space science meeting in the world.
You’ll see in the list below of papers, posters and sessions that Esri is leading or contributing on a wide variety of interesting and important projects, many with our federal partners at NASA, NOAA, and the USGS, as well as several universities. This showcases how we are an organization that not only enables great understanding of the world with our products and services, but also performs good science, and contributes well as a member of the scientific community. In addition, we will have a 20′ x 20′ exhibit booth presence, #623 (led by Research & Sciences Industry Manager Drew Stephens) with messaging and demos on multidimensional scientific data and analysis, imagery, big data geoanalytics, The Living Atlas, ArcGIS Pro, Ecological Land Units, Ecological Marine Units, GeoPlanner, Insights, story maps, the web GIS pattern, our commitment to open/interoperable, and more.
I thank the many colleagues who have worked so hard to make all of this happen. All in all, we are sending 12 Esri staff *to participate at AGU, and will share the exhibit booth space with 2 representatives of our long-standing business partner, QPS.
AGU and Related EVENTS/WORKSHOPS*with Esri Participation
Dawn Wright representing Esri at all-day meeting of NSF-funded OceanObs Research Coordination Network , Sunday, December 11, all day, San Francisco Marriott Marquis, Nob Hill A/C – will be presenting*Ecological Marine Units
Dawn representing Esri at AGU “Sharing Science in Plain English” panel, Tuesday, December 13, 12:30-2:00,*Moscone North 123-124
The panel is a 1.5-hour discussion and Q&A intended for 100-150 scientists with little to no communications experience who want to learn the basics of communicating science effectively to lay audiences, including during media interviews, meetings with policymakers, giving public talks (at civic functions, etc.), or on social media.*The*target audience member is a graduate student, who has spent the last 7 years studying science and has forgotten how to use more elementary terms to explain his/her research.* However, any Fall Meeting registrant may attend this panel.
David DiBiase, Tom Baker, and contractor Roger Palmer will present a 1.5-hour workshop on ConnectED/GeoInquiries for teachers as part of the joint AGU/National Earth Sciences Teachers Association Geophysical Information for Teachers*workshop, Tuesday, December 13, 7:30-3:30, San Francisco Marriott Marquis, Golden Gate A*
Dawn representing Esri at AGU “Communicating Your Science: Ask the Experts” panel, Wednesday, December 14, 10:30-12:30,*Moscone*West 2001A
Dawn representing Esri at the Earth Science Women’s Network Opportunities Beyond Academia Workshop, Wednesday, December 14, 4:00-6:00, San Francisco Marriott Marquis, Golden Gate B
Thinking about a career outside of academia? It can often be difficult to get help finding a job in a non-profit or government agency, within industry, or as a consultant – after all your advisor is an academic and most likely doesn’t have “first-hand knowledge.” Maybe you want to stay in academia but are interested in working as a consultant or even starting your own business. A panel of scientists with experience outside of academia will share their “lessons learned” and answer your questions about how to find and apply for jobs in policy, federal research labs, state agencies, NGOs, industry, and private enterprise. Geared towards graduate students and post-docs who are considering options outside of academia, as well as faculty who are interested; all are invited. This workshop is a partnership between the Earth Science Women’s Network and AGU Education.
Dawn representing Esri at the ENVRIplus Project Workshop, Thursday, December 15, 9:00-2:00,*San Francisco Marriott Marquis, Salon 2
This workshop, which is being run as part of the EU-funded ENVRIplus project, aims to identify and explore the barriers that currently exist between research institutes and private companies that prevent them from forming*mutually beneficial partnerships.*
Dawn representing Esri at an evening scientific storytelling event co-sponsored by AGU and StoryCollider: Springer Nature Storytellers, Thursday, December 15, 8:00-10:00 pm, Rickshaw Stop, 155 Fell St., San Francisco
Sudhir Shrestha is an AGU Earth & Space Science Informatics (ESSI) Outstanding Student Paper Award Coordinator throughout the week.
AGU SESSIONS with Esri Participation
1: IN51C, IN53E:*Spatial Data Infrastructure for Earth and Space Sciences: Analyzing, Visualizing, and Sharing Multidimensional Earth Science Data (Oral and Posters)
Session Description:
Governments and businesses use geospatial data to manage*organizational infrastructure, quantify hazard risk, and plan future development. The volume, variety, and complexity of multidimensional scientific data pose challenges with how it is shared with a diverse community, visualized intuitively, or fused for answering scientific questions. Spatial data infrastructure for Earth and Space Sciences is built atop frameworks that support satellite images, airborne data, climate and weather observations, simulations, and forecasts. Such frameworks allow us to manage data, publish metadata, generate science products, and develop tools that support the needs of an end*user. This session seeks papers describing operational systems and workflows for deploying multidimensional scientific data for reuse by the broader Earth science community. Topics of interest include: operational systems and best practices for creating and managing geospatial data services, spatial data infrastructure frameworks for processing, analyzing, or visualizing temporal, 3D, 4D Earth science data, and sharing geospatial data.
Conveners:
Sudhir*R*Shrestha, ESRI, Redlands, CA, United States
Rahul Ramachandran, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, AL, United States,
Manil Maskey, University of Alabama in Huntsville, Huntsville, AL, United States
