*(2) Unmanning Data Mondays - Getting the human out of unmanned aerial
systems data*

On Monday Jane, Andrea, and I presented for this webinar series hosted by
institutions involved with UPSiE and the Midwest Data Hub. The presentation
was recorded (most recent on the website), so please take a look - and do
check out the other presentations as well, there are some great sUAS data
relevant ones!

Opportunities, Challenges, and Progress in Managing the sUAS/RPAS Data
<https://digitalag.org/unmanning_data.php> - We give an overview of our
experience with sUAS, why sUAS data challenges are international and
cross-disciplinary, and how discussions and technologies relating to data
management and sharing are so important. We highlighted our ESIP events and
workshops, RDA work, and discuss progress on ESIP Lab funded Minimum
Information Framework, which we also showcased as a poster
<https://figshare.com/articles/Minimal_Information_Framework_for_Scientific_Data_Collection_from_Remotely_Piloted_Aircraft_Systems_RPAS_/6145739>
during
RDA P11.



We're looking forward to catching up with you all during our Telecon on
Thursday, details below.

all the best,
Lindsay Barbieri (Bar) & Jane Wyngaard
