Earth and Space Science Informatics Workshop

The American Geophysical Union (AGU), a conglomerate of 50,000 Earth and space science researchers, has developed a focus group “concerned with issues of data management and analysis, large-scale computational experimentation and modeling, and hardware and software infrastructure needs, which ultimately provide the capability to change data systems into knowledge systems that support the range of Earth and space science interests.”

An important component of this focus group is the students who will serve as the next generation implementers and problem solvers. The Earth and Space Science Informatics (ESSI) focus group, and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County Department of Information Systems, would like to invite students and established researchers to a three‐day workshop. We aim for a discussion of current research topics with an emphasis on future needs and challenges. The workshop is open to everyone; however, we strongly encourage graduate student participation and involvement.
