We are a home for Earth science data and computing professionals. Our sessions bring together the community for hands-on, interdisciplinary deep dives as we explore "Bridging Divides: Data, Technology, Community" this year. Learn more about this theme on the ESIP Meetings page.
Session and plenary recordings will be published on the ESIP YouTube Channel.
The session organizers are building communities of practice around ICESat-2 datasets by convening disciplinary-related data user groups to share pain points and solutions. This session invites the ESIP community to share experiences with building or participating in similar CoPs to create guidance for replicating and sustaining these human connection spaces. Organizers will share lessons learned from ICESat-2 Inland Water and Forestry/Biomass/Canopy communities, covering how to find participants, what training attendees desire, and successes seen so far. The session then workshops best practices for a community of practice.
Audience People who have a stake in how communities of practice are set up and conducted; those who want to build their own CoP around a specific discipline, mission, or topic
