[ESIP-all] Next Innovation Webinar: NASA Research Program Turned Private Enterprise - Airborne Snow Observatories, Inc. (6/23 at 1 pm ET)

[Megan Carter]

The Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP <http://esipfed.org/>) present
the 2021 webinar series sponsored by SAIC <http://saic.com/>:


*Leading Innovation in Earth Science Data Frontiers  *
*Data System & Software Development Challenges in a NASA Research Program
Turned Private Enterprise: Airborne Snow Observatories, Inc. (Wednesday
6/23 at 1 pm ET/10 am PT)*
Airborne Snow Observatories Inc. (ASO), a start up born out of a NASA JPL
research program, aims to provide inventories of mountain snow water
resources worldwide with unprecedented precision. Evan Burgess, Lead Data
Scientist at ASO, will discuss the data system and software development
challenges in transitioning research-focused code and data into an
operational system in the AWS cloud. Rapid data turnaround, the fast pace
of innovation at ASO and complexities inherent in airborne remote sensing
data have forced ASO to rethink its approach to processing and data
distribution.

*More about the speaker*
Evan Burgess is a software developer and data scientist with an academic
background in glaciology. Evan has worked with radar and lidar data, UAVs,
atmospheric and land surface models, in-situ data, and more. Through this
work, Evan has developed innovative software, visualization tools, and
cloud computing solutions that can accelerate data-driven discovery. Evan’s
PhD used synthetic aperture radar to discover widespread interactions
between wintertime glacier flow speeds and climate. His postdoc distilled
decades-worth of airborne lidar data to understand glacier mass loss in
Alaska in ways that were not possible previously. As ASO’s Lead Data
Scientist, Evan works to advance ASO’s processing pipelines, data
analytics, and decision support systems. Evan holds a BA from University of
Colorado, and a MS/PhD from University of Utah.
