Past Fellows
The ESIP Community Fellows are graduate students and postdoctoral researchers interested in bridging the gap between informatics and Earth science.
Visit the Student Opportunities page to learn more about the fellowship and how to become a fellow. Check out ESIP's Merge blog with Community Fellow guest posts to discover more about our current fellows and their research. (You can catch them flexing their behind-the-scenes muscles on Collaboration Area calls on ESIP's YouTube, too.)

Community Fellow Blogs
Droning the Castle Hill Rock Formation and Building 3D Models with Photoscan & Drone2Map
This is my second blog post in a short series on my research trip to New Zealand. You can find Post #1 here. This is also cross-posted with a post on my github-pages blog. Find it here. Intro Some of the predominant challenges in using an off-the-shelf drone for...
ESIP Data Stewardship Committee Student Fellow Summer Updates
On Wednesday, June 15th, I got an opportunity to attend the Data Science Credentialing Editorial Board meeting at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) headquarter in Washington, D.C., and it was a wonderful opportunity for me to meet the Board members...
Using a drone to build 3D Structure-From-Motion models in New Zealand, Part 1: Evangelizing drones for science
This blog entry is part one of a short series on my recent research trip to New Zealand. Here I show a rough test case of building Structure-From-Motion models using imagery from a DJI Phantom. Come back soon a post on using Structure-From-Motion on the Castle Hill...
ESIP Data Stewardship Committee Updates: Applying Usability Practices & Principles to Data Archives/Repositories
During the first year of my student fellowship with ESIP Data Stewardship Committee, I was introduced to the Data Stewardship Maturity Matrix (DSMM) by Committee member, Ge Peng. The DSMM is a unified framework for measuring stewardship practices applied to individual...
Detecting tree species with Landsat imagery
How has the composition of forests in Vermont changed over the past 30 years, and how will it change in the next 30? Can we detect these changes using Landsat imagery? And if we can, what implications does this have for land cover change analyses worldwide? UVM...
Time to Accelerate: Moving Technology by Looking at Innovation Systems
As a Masters student studying Sustainable Business and Innovation, I tend to have more of a policy and social sciences perspective compared to my other student fellows. I see this as a complement to their important work. Many of those engaged with ESIP are interested...
