ESIP Update: Community resilience in Earth science data

ESIP News and Events

New Guest Blog on Community Resilience

In their new article published in the Frontiers in Climate journal, the Community Resilience Cluster explores how communities that are equipped with actionable Earth science data can make impactful resilience decisions based on the best information available. 

A key part is making sure that researchers and organizations gathering and analyzing data also have the tools they need to weave community resilience into their work. Check out the Cluster’s new blog on esipfed.org/merge with resources and inspiration written by ESIP Community Fellow Morgan Wofford.
