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.
Thursday July 30, 2026 11:00am - 12:30pm CDT
NOAA's National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) provides public access to data and data products from NOAA-operated environmental satellites, oceanographic and atmospheric observing systems, and mission programs supporting understanding of our climate, weather, oceans, and coasts. This session focuses on generating awareness and discussion on Federal data technology and infrastructure, featuring talks by individuals and teams with moderated discussion and interactive elements. Topics include AI capabilities at NESDIS, integrating legacy marine data into the cloud enterprise data system, algorithm transition to operations within the NCCF, and cloud migration strategies.

Moderators: Jessica Morgan and John Relph.
