Join us for the next ESIP Meeting!
ESIP is a home for Earth science data and computing professionals. Our sessions bring together the community for hands-on, interdisciplinary deep dives.
Innovation to Impact
We believe in people, science, and the use of data for good in the world. Our collaborative spirit infuses our community with a sense of optimism and purpose — even in the face of immense challenges.
What does innovation look like? Where and who does our work impact?
We aim to have immediate impact in the ESIP community by unlocking solutions for our fellow data professionals. And we hope for impact in broader communities: To forge innovations that help scientists explore new and more complex questions and to connect with communities and individuals who need data, especially when they weigh critical decisions.
Innovation to impact is not a straight line.
There is a push, pull, and twist between the precision of binary code, the rush of build-it-as-we-fly technology, and the gray areas of being human. In ESIP, we welcome the tensions. A willingness to learn prompts questions that encourage us to expand our collective knowledge.
Those include:
- Who are the end users? Where in the process can they help us innovate?
- How does Earth science data empower communities?
- What fields are evolving? Where is innovation happening?
- Why does our work need to demonstrate real value? How do we better explain that value?
For these questions and more, join the discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on tool explorations at the next ESIP Meeting.

Find your people
ESIP Meetings are open to anyone interested in Earth science data, computing, and technology.
There are about 300 attendees from the Earth, space, and environmental sciences.
Dive into #EarthScienceData
Each meeting has a theme, ranging from the big-picture impacts of data to the nitty-gritty of new tools and information quality.
Many sessions are interdisciplinary and may cover specific tools or broad concepts.
Interactive session formats
Our meetings cover current trends, problems, and emerging issues in Earth science data and information. There is a mix of plenary talks, breakout sessions, poster presentations, technical workshops, networking, and special events.
ESIP meetings are open to anyone interested in Earth science data.
Many attendees are information technology professionals, teachers, and researchers. Their scientific fields include atmosphere, ocean, solid earth, ecology, data science, and social sciences.
Some attendees join monthly calls in ESIP’s Collaboration Areas.
