[ESIP-all] AGU Special Session IN10: Data Fusion

[David Arctur]

Dear Colleague,

Please consider submitting an abstract to the 2008 Fall AGU meeting,  
Dec. 15-19, 2008, San Francisco, CA. The abstracts deadline is 10  
September, midnight UTC or 7:59pm EDT.

IN 10, Data Fusion: Issues, Barriers and Approaches.

It is increasingly urgent and possible to merge disparate data sources  
and models for multidisciplinary study. Key drivers motivating this  
direction of research include the need to improve situational  
awareness, preparedness and response to natural and manmade disasters,  
global climate change, and a wide range of other societal and  
environmental contexts. However, cultural and institutional issues can  
impede our ability to apply the rapidly improving technology  
available. We welcome submissions describing multidisciplinary  
settings in which integrative data analysis has been achieved, the  
barriers to cooperation and coordination found, and specific  
approaches which overcame these barriers.

Conveners:
David Arctur, Open Geospatial Consortium
Peter Fox, NCAR/UCAR
