Connecting Data to Science: Innovations bridging disparate samples, field-based data, and satellite observations to advance discovery
Session ID#: 251252
Session Description:
Field-based observation of our planet is crucial for advancing understanding within and across Earth science disciplines. Connecting measurements from physical samples, Earth-based sensors, and observations from airborne and sea-based platforms has been fundamental to Earth sciences for decades. This session highlights connections between data stewardship professionals, who help enable such multi-faceted studies, and science practitioners, who analyze multi-scale, multi-venue observations. We welcome submissions on: current and evolving motivations, methodologies, and workflows integrating multifarious data; data repository curation, management, and storage practices (e.g., cloud, on-prem) and transitions/combinations of multi-location resources; and how innovative technical architectures can deliver accelerated analysis capacity. Presentations demonstrating impactful science results from syntheses of samples, field-based, and/or space-based observations from a variety of disciplines are especially encouraged. Such illustrative examples provide a practical lens for ongoing discussions of challenges, lessons learned, and avenues for improving data systems to advance the scientific process, bolstering FAIRness and reproducibility.
