ESIP Update 🍂 Will you be at AGU?

Susan and Annie will be at the AGU Fall Meeting. Ping them to meet up, find ESIP at the Data Help Desk, and join in at Ignite@AGU.

ESIP UPDATE: 11.22.21

ESIP,

It is that time of year to give thanks! I am especially thankful for the hard work of the ESIP community and staff and the great work we are accomplishing together.

In the last month:

Over 30 people have proposed engaging and exciting sessions for the ESIP January Meeting that will be held virtually January 18-21. Have you registered?
12 new and returning ESIP leaders have raised their hand to run for ESIP leadership in 2022. More information on the ballot and voting coming soon.
We have added eight amazing early career professionals to the ESIP Community Fellow Program.
And speaking of Community Fellows, I have loved seeing our Fellows go on to great things. This month Eleanor Davis Pierel accepted a NOAA Knauss Fellowships with Ko Barrett, NOAA Senior Advisor for Climate, and I had coffee in person with former fellow Douglas Rao who is also doing great work with NOAA and NC State!

Looking forward I am thankful that travel is back on the agenda again and I will be traveling to AGU next month. There are so many of you I want to meet. If you will be at AGU, please let me know so we can catch up, and join #esip-agu on Slack. It will be especially helpful to connect and coordinate as this is my first AGU! I hope to see you there and especially at Ignite@AGU on Wednesday night at Central City BBQ.

Susan Shingledecker
Executive Director, ESIP

Exploring a Dynamic Soil Information System: Proceedings of a Workshop

Soil plays a major role in farming, forestry, and environmental remediation. Optimizing those activities requires a clear understanding of different soils, their function, their composition and structure, and how they change over time and from place to place. But monitoring soil properties over time remains a challenge.

Kathe Todd-Brown (Soil Ontologies and Informatics Cluster) was on the organizing committee for a workshop dedicated to exploring the topic, now compiled into a National Academies Press book.
