- *Scalable
Cloud Optimized Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) for Earth Science Big
Data and Analytics*; Scientists and engineers use geospatial data to
manage organizational infrastructure, quantify the need and risk
associated, and plan future development. The diversity and complexity of
scientific data pose challenges in how it is stored, accessed, managed,
shared, visualized, and fused for answering scientific questions. SDI for
Earth and Space Sciences is built on frameworks that supports to enable
Earth Observations such as satellite imagery, climate-weather observations,
and forecasts that are service oriented and distributed via Geographic
Information System (GIS). Such frameworks allow us to interoperate with
systems of systems such as cloud computing, analysis ready data; analytics
that can integrate with Artificial Intelligence to generate science
products based on users need. This session explores critical components of
cloud-optimized SDIs, workflows for spatio-temporal data ingest, archive,
storage, visualization and distribution, and the use of GIS, spatial
machine/deep learning, HPC as applied in big Earth data exploitation, 3D,
4D Earth Science Data.

- *Communities,
Tools and Policies that Enable Integration of Earth, Space and
Environmental Science Data and Cyberinfrastructures;* In recent years
there has been rapid growth in online datasets, vocabularies, tools and
compute resources for Earth, space and environmental science researchers.
Most are coordinated by separate communities and range from major
international/national initiatives down to notable efforts by much smaller
communities. There are social, scientific and technological challenges that
each is trying to solve in isolation, but there are sufficient differences
that make it hard to leverage common developments across them. The time is
ripe to synchronize efforts and create globally connected networks of
Earth, space and environmental Science data, software, compute resources
and researchers. Presentations are solicited ranging from those building
community specific systems to those trying to resolve the challenges of
internationally linking multiple communities to create globally networked
environments that share common solutions for more efficient and effective
use of limited funding.
