Workshopping Earth Science Knowledge Rescue
Wednesday July 29, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm CDT
Location TBA
Sign-in & Notes
Recent workforce disruptions and grant cancellations have separated hundreds of earth scientists from their research and institutions. While raw data may remain on servers, the vital undocumented context — methodological workarounds, interrupted longitudinal data, negative results — is at immediate risk of permanent loss. This interactive session workshops an Earth Science Knowledge Living Library framework operating on three levels: The Living Library (a dynamic accessible repository for sharing undocumented knowledge); The Knowledge Trust (a steward of intellectual property using Creator-Controlled Licensing); and The Seed Vault (a secure embargoed preservation space). Participants will validate licensing principles, map knowledge-at-risk scenarios, and identify pilot advisory board members.

Audience
Researchers whose work has been disrupted; anyone interested in knowledge preservation; broad relevance across the Earth science informatics community
