Thank you all for attending. Making progress...

At this telecon, we continued our discussion on locating ESDA Use Cases.
Brand provided several links from which we can glean use cases specific to
Earth science. This led to a discuss regarding the various ways 'Data
Analytics' is used. On one level it is used as an abstract term that
encompasses situations that demonstrate concepts and thus, needed
capabilities to examine/analyze datasets, and/or co-analyze heterogeneous
datasets. On another level, the term data analytics is refers to the actual
implementation of specific tools (logic) to solve a particular problem to
provides results that yields a better understanding towards solving the
problem. Whereas the former interpretation addresses more strategic
questions like 'Return of Investment', and whip gets the most value for
efforts expended on Big Data Initiatives, the latter interpretation, in
terms of Earth science data analytics, would be one of greater interest to
information tool developers, providers, and users (users=researchers). Other
discussion inputs include: Need to find best ways to use data; Need ways to
create datasets tools that work with all data; Need to communicate and share
available tools.

Summer Cluster Planning

We will have two cluster session at the summer meeting:

1. Teaching Science Data Analytics Skills, and the Earth Science Data
Scientist ( <http://commons.esipfed.org/node/7999>
http://commons.esipfed.org/node/7999)

We will have 4 speakers, who will provide their experiences in being, or
needing, a Data Scientist in their work. The goal of this session is to
discuss and extract real project data scientist/analytics experience needs,
initiated by presentation and discussed by session participants. Of special
interest is bringing together people who have needs for data scientists
(data analytics) and will be able to articulate those needs by the end of
the session, and/or; stir ideas: for the use of data analytics in their
research or to build tools/services for others. 

Presenters:

Wade Bishop, School of Information Sciences, University of Tennessee

Peter Fox, Earth & Environmental Sciences, Tetherless World Constellation,
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Lewis McGibbney, Computer Science for Data Intensive Systems Group, Jet
Propulsion Laboratory

Karen Stocks, Director, Geological Data Center, Scripps Institution of
Oceanography 

2. The Need for Earth Science Data Analytics to Facilitate Community
Resilience (and other applications) ( <http://commons.esipfed.org/node/7998>
http://commons.esipfed.org/node/7998)

This cluster session will review our current work (for new participants),
followed by discussion on the extent of social, economic, and environmental
issues, as well as science research, in which the advancement of Earth
science data analytics have had an impact. The goal of this discussion is to
gain sufficient information to categorize how Earth science data analytics
has come to be used in our society, and identify use cases that exemplify
this

FYI:

As of this moment, the following Data Analytics related session abstract
have been proposed to the AGU:

*  Advanced Information Systems to Support Climate Projection Data Analysis

Gerald L Potter, Tsengdar J Lee, Dean Norman Williams, and Chris A Mattmann

*  Big Data Analytics for Scientific Data

Emily Law, Michael M Little, Daniel J Crichton, and Padma A
Yanamandra-Fisher

*  Big Data in Earth Science - From Hype to Reality

Kwo-Sen Kuo, Rahul Ramachandran, Ben James Kingston Evans. and Mike M Little

*  Big Data in the Geosciences: New Analytics Methods and Parallel
Algorithms

Jitendra Kumar and Forrest M Hoffman

*  Geophysical Science Data Analytics Use Case Scenarios

Steven J Kempler, Robert R Downs, Tiffany Joi Mathews, and John S Hughes

*  Partnerships and Big Data Facilities in a Big Data World

Kenneth S Casey and Danie Kinkade

*  Towards a Career in Data Science: Pathways and Perspectives

Karen I Stocks, Lesley A Wyborn, Ruth Duerr, and Lynn Yarmey
