[Esip-sample-curation] Call for abstracts on samples for AGU Fall Meeting (abstracts due Aug 3rd)

[Sarah Ramdeen]

Hello all,

Apologies for cross posting - please find below a call for abstracts for
the American Geophysical Union's 2022 Fall Meeting.  We are soliciting
submissions from all domains to highlight global efforts on making samples
FAIR/CARE compliant.

The abstract submission deadline is 3 August (23:59 EDT/03:59 +1 GMT).

Thank you,
Sarah Ramdeen

****IN013*-*Global community efforts to make Samples, Specimens, and
Sampling Features (as well digital information about them) comply with the
FAIR and CARE principles****
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm22/prelim.cgi/Session/161625

Billions of samples have been acquired, and are considered cornerstones of
research in the Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences. Where
catalogs of sample collections exist they are heterogeneous: few are online
making it difficult for researchers to find and reuse samples, as well as
locate any derived data (images, observations, analytical data, etc).
Increasing costs of field campaigns and sites that can no longer be
accessed mean the value of existing collections as reusable resources is
evolving; multiple stakeholders are now trying to ensure samples comply
with the FAIR and CARE principles.

This session seeks papers on any part of the samples ecosystem from
collection/creation to ultimate preservation/destruction, including those
working on creating a global network of FAIR samples and data derived from
them. Submissions are welcome from:

   - Researchers who collect/work with samples;
   - Professionals who manage samples (museums, repositories, etc.);
   - Cyberinfrastructure providers who support tools and services for
   samples.
