Data + Community = Action
Science funders around the world both federal and private are spending millions of dollars on large scale, data-intensive collaborative science projects. After all, the wicked challenges facing us in all fields from energy to food security to climate mitigation strategies are not solved by a single person, institution or domain. They take all of us working together. This talk will explore the relationship between data-intensive science and collaborative, community efforts like the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) and USGS CDI move science forward. Together, if we are better collaborators, we will make data matter, more interoperable, actionable and move science beyond where we thought possible!

Let's Play: How the ESIP Lab is supporting innovation and ingenuity around Earth science technology development
Not all researchers, developers, and data providers have the resources or expertise to experiment with, and deploy, new data systems or analysis techniques that push the bounds of the current technology landscape. This is a problem ESIP’s Lab is working to solve. Through small grant funding and community input, the ESIP Lab supports projects working towards adoption of community-accepted best practices in scientific data management and analysis, and experimentation with emerging technologies.
