The 2019 AGU Fall Meeting abstract submission deadline is one week from
today (7/31)! To avoid an overload of individual messages to the ESIP-All
Mailing List, we have compiled the following list of sessions that ESIP
Community Members suggest you consider submitting to. Click links below to
see full session abstracts and conveners.
- ED022 <https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/prelim.cgi/Session/77196>* - *Dirty
Stories of Data Rescue: Sharing Successes and Learning Opportunities to
Improve Workflows*; How often have we heard a story about old research
notes, found by chance, that made a study possible, or changed the course
of a project? How often have we heard someone lament the passing of a
colleague and the loss of their records, or the discovery of a trove of old
magnetic tapes or digital files? What other close calls of data loss have
been averted by the efforts of data rescuers and conservators? By
encouraging scientists to share their stories, we can create deeper
engagement with data rescue and conservation efforts. Storytellers in this
session will present their efforts as a narrative, and participants can
then engage with the storytellers at their eLightning posters to encourage
discovery of additional data rescue and conservation pathways.
- ED023 <https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/prelim.cgi/Session/80339>* - *Earth
Data Science Education: Training Earth Scientists for Interdisciplinary
Work on New and Emerging Approaches*; this session will focus on

- *Advances
in uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) use for Earth and planetary
observation;* this
session will focus on new methodologies enabled by uncrewed (or unmanned)
aerial vehicles in multiple domains, and new platforms, sensors,
operational approaches, and data-analysis techniques that drive these
approaches. We especially encourage submissions describing new tooling and
workflows to manage UAV mission planning and data analysis.
- H029 <https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/prelim.cgi/Session/76602> -
*Artificial
Intelligence and Remote Sensing Enabling The Next Generation of Global
Applications for Sustainable Development*; As we partake in this
fast-paced golden age for earth observations and AI, we have to be mindful
in realizing the potential of these innovative technologies where it
matters the most: improving the wellbeing of humanity and planet Earth.
This session solicits presentations 1) showcasing promising use-cases of AI
and EO in sustainable development, 2) addressing the main technological
challenges left to solve, and 3) exploring the next generation of
applications in this domain.
- IN003 <https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/prelim.cgi/Session/82801>
- *Advancing
Capabilities to Enable Current and Future Use of Earth and Space Science
Data*; Data centers, repositories, archives, and other data facilities
and systems strive to offer trustworthy capabilities and services that
enable sharing and long-term use of open data. Upon acquiring data from
various missions, projects and/or studies and in diverse formats, data
product and service developers assess, manage, curate, process, integrate,
package, organize, describe, and disseminate data, to facilitate widespread
and continuing data sharing and use. Providing capabilities for sharing
open data fosters new studies and new data products and services. The TRUST
Principles (Transparency, Responsibility, User Community, Sustainability,
and Technology), certification, and policy development can contribute to
system improvements as well as increased user expectations. Presentations
describe approaches and opportunities to improve systems, capabilities, and
services for enabling current and future uses of Earth and space science
data products and services.
- IN006 <https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/prelim.cgi/Session/80361>
- *Scalable
Cloud Optimized Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) for Earth Science Big
Data and Analytics*; this session will focus on Earth observations that
are service oriented and distributed via geographic information systems
(GIS) in the cloud, especially as coupled with 3D/4D visualization/analysis
and machine/deep learning.
- IN007 <https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/prelim.cgi/Session/80511>
- *Airborne
Data are Unique: Methods and Ideas for Improving Policies, Metadata
Standards, Data Storage, Discovery, and Use*; Users and data producers
often find the rules don't easily apply when working with airborne data.
The problems span all areas of data handling - from measurement to data
production, archival, data product distribution and discovery, and user
support. The unique characteristics and complexity of airborne data make it
difficult to use many of the formats, tools, and services that were
designed primarily for satellite data. This session aims to highlight
airborne data issues of concern and examine various solutions, either
existing or under development. The intent is to bring together the airborne
data community to encourage cooperation and support as we seek a path
forward towards a more unified and improved airborne data handling process.

and developments in the structured metadata developer tool chain for
Schema.org and associated extensions*; This session will look at: the
range of tools needed to increase the simplicity, efficiency and
connectivity of data provider and research workflows; advances in Linked
Data and vocabularies, including versioning; and community recommendations
on or extensions to Schema.org.
- IN017 <https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/prelim.cgi/Session/81049>
- *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.
*IN019 <https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/prelim.cgi/Session/78783>*
- *Data
and Information Services for Interdisciplinary Research and Applications in
Earth Science;* this session seeks presentations to describe current
Earth science data and information service activities for interdisciplinary
research and applications, including tools or data services, existing or in
development. Presentations addressing specific needs and challenges of
handling big data with machine-learning or natural language processing,
including access to findable and relevant data for training purposes and
service development, are highly encouraged.
- IN020 <https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/prelim.cgi/Session/81984> - *Data
Integration: Enabling the Acceleration of Science Through Connectivity,
Collaboration, and Convergent Science*; this session explores the
challenges and successes repository managers and communities have in
providing support and services to researchers interested in accessing and

identifying and communicating best practices and challenges in this diverse
data environment.
- IN026 <https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/prelim.cgi/Session/72626>
- *Environmental
Sensor Networks;* Climate study related experiments and observational
stations are getting bigger and number of sensors and instruments involved
is growing very fast. Experiments like SPRUCE, NGEE-Arctic, NEON have to
deal with hundreds of sensors and instruments. The most effective way to
manage such large installations is to incorporate all equipment into a
network. At this session we would like people to share their experience in
establishing, maintaining, and managing a fixed environmental sensor
networks on or near surface measurements (will not include remotely sensed
data - satellite imagery, aerial photography, etc.). This session is open
for all works about an existing system, planning a completely new network,
upgrading an existing system, improving streaming data management, and
archiving data.

- IN043 <https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/prelim.cgi/Session/82482>
- *Standards
for the Benefit of Science and Society*; Standards can help to ensure
the F.A.I.R.ness of data, reduce the barriers to adoption of new
technologies within local and regional cultures, and help close the digital
divide between less economically developed countries and advanced
societies. But the development de jure standards takes time and effort, and
adoption of the end product is not guaranteed. This session consists of
presentations highlighting the practical aspects, including sociological
factors, involved in development and adoption of standards and best
practices. Presentations describing specific use cases and outcomes
involving standardization efforts are also being solicited.
- IN047 <https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/prelim.cgi/Session/76137> - *Tracks
across the Ocean, Sky, and Land*; Many different types of projects
collect track data, which describes the time and location where Earth
science measurements were made along the path traversed by a ship,
airplane, drone, vehicle, or hiker. This session is an opportunity to
explore and share approaches for storing, discovering, visualizing, and
analyzing track data, in an effort to identify recommended practices and
opportunities for further collaboration across science domains.
- IN048 <https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/prelim.cgi/Session/77565>
- *Transforming
Earth and Planetary Science with Mixed Reality and Other Innovative
Visualization Solutions*; this session seeks presentations describing
current and ongoing work exploiting the power of immersive technologies as
leading-edge visual frameworks, providing scientists and researchers with
platforms to broaden their understanding of geophysical/geospatial science
data and natural phenomena by leveraging the distinctive characteristics of
VR, AR and MR.

Works -- and How(!?): Sharing Successful Approaches to Educating Research
Teams on Research Data Management and Related Data Skills;* In this
session, educational and training resource creators and adaptors are
invited to share their success stories in educating scientific researchers
(including students) at different phases of their education or professional
career. We’d like to hear answers to the questions: What works? Do you have
experience with a pedagogical approach that has proven particularly
effective? Have you engaged in collaborative teaching partnerships, and if
so, with whom and what has made them effective? Have you developed or used
interesting hands-on activities, demonstrations, simulations, or other fun
and engaging teaching tools or methods? We welcome and encourage educators
from all levels and settings to participate in this session.

- *Bringing
Science Down to Earth: Using Creative Storytelling and Multi-Channel
Outreach to Advance Awareness and Use of Earth Science in Communities
Worldwide;* Creative storytelling helps showcase the many ways that
Earth science provides societal benefits and improves decision making in
myriad sectors and communities. Multimedia-rich stories, interactive
websites, social media and media outreach deliver tailored stories that
make Earth observations and data relatable to new audiences, and to
potentially inspire new users. This session explores creative approaches
that make clear the value and relevance of Earth observations to specific
geographic locations or communities of interest through a range of
channels, engaging communications techniques, and content. This session
invites papers that address storytelling and content development that
tailors or translates Earth science concepts, systems, and projects to
communities or particular audiences.

- *Profiles
in Science: Using Relatable Stories and Personal Narratives to Spark
Scientific Intrigue;* From a young age, stories are how we understand
new concepts and navigate the world around us. In particular, personal
narratives help connect audiences to the story of science and its impact on
the economy, society, and our health. Stories that blend the human
experience with technical explanations told across written, oral, and
visual platforms spark interest and emotion among global audiences. They
are relatable and memorable. This session provides both a range of
approaches for crafting personal narratives in scientific pursuits and a
forum for attendees to present or appreciate such blended stories. The
session invites papers that present tools, models, and techniques on this
practice as well as instances of personal profiles with lessons for
composing and delivering them.
