Open Science and Data Help Desk
2022 AGU Fall Meeting
December 12-15, 2022 – Chicago, Illinois
The Open Science and Data Help Desk held at the AGU Fall Meeting is hosted by Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) with support from the American Geophysical Union (AGU).
Join us in the Exhibit Hall (Booth #1901) and connect with experts to enhance Earth science research and make data and software more open and FAIR. Follow @EarthDataHelp on Twitter along with #DataHelpDesk #AGU22.

Earth and Space Sciences for the Future – Perspectives from Journals
Dr. Peter Fox, titan in the informatics community and Editor-in-Chief of AGU Earth and Space Science who passed away in March 2021, recorded this presentation for the Virtual Data Help Desk held in conjunction with the EGU General Assembly in 2020. Dr. Fox made significant contributions to both domain science and informatics. He started or championed numerous international organizations aimed at advancing the field of Earth science information and was an outstanding mentor and colleague for so many.
