Rockstar Science: Ignite@AGU

This year, our Ignite@AGU presenters will take the stage at the Great American Music Hall in San Fransisco. Will you be one of them?

Here is inspiration: 2022 Ignite speaker Kyungsoo Yoo recently wrote a guest blog for ESIP building off his talk about earthworm invasions and Olivia Sanderfoot wrote one last spring about Earth science data collaborations to help birds.

Applications are due by Friday, October 27. Save the date for the event: Wednesday, December 13 starting 6 p.m. during the AGU Fall Meeting.

ESIP Peer Recognition and Awards

Collaboration Areas

Cluster Opportunties

Changes in a Collaboration Area's focus, format, and leadership are part of the healthy life cycle of collaboration. Some projects wind down — a process we call going on hiatus — while others shift under a new direction.

These evolutions are opportunities for participants in the ESIP community to pick up leadership experience or explore new topics.

Currently, three Clusters are seeking new leadership:

Community Resilience Cluster (many thanks to current chair Arika Virapongse)
Open Science Cluster (kudos to Jenny Hewson and Cynthia Hall for their leadership)
Research Artifact Citation Cluster (we appreciate all that Madison Langseth has done as well as current chair Diana Ma)

If you are interested in joining one of these groups or stepping up as a co-chair, then email ESIP Community Director Megan Carter Orlando: megancarter@esipfed.org
