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.
While we increasingly rely on AI and agents to bridge data divides, the development of these tools depends entirely on human connection and intuition. This interactive session addresses the challenges of navigating Earth science careers as the technical landscape shifts, focusing on social science aspects involved in building AI tools and professional survival. A panel of early, mid, and senior-career professionals from academia and industry will share transparent roadmaps and advice for the next generation. Beyond technical skills, the session uses group coaching techniques rooted in Energy Leadership and self-awareness to help participants move from survival mode to thriving. Leaders will share current job openings and the human insights they look for in candidates.
Audience Early-career and mid-career professionals balancing family and work; participants from all levels of experience across public sector, private sector, and program management
