While the literature is full of definitions, provided in blogs, articles, and official organizations, of data analytics, data scientists, big data, etc., most address common themes, but none address Earth science, specifically.  The significance in doing so, is that we, the ESIP community, can better associate meaningful techniques that are particularly useful to Earth science data analytics users, and, in partnership with Earth science data users, develop tools and services that support their advancing research.  A win for everybody.
