• IN017 – Communities, Tools and Policies that Enable Integration of Earth, Space and Environmental Science Data and Cyberinfrastructures; In recent years there has been rapid growth in online datasets, vocabularies, tools and compute resources for Earth, space and environmental science researchers. Most are coordinated by separate communities and range from major international/national initiatives down to notable efforts by much smaller communities. There are social, scientific and technological challenges that each is trying to solve in isolation, but there are sufficient differences that make it hard to leverage common developments across them. The time is ripe to synchronize efforts and create globally connected networks of Earth, space and environmental Science data, software, compute resources and researchers. Presentations are solicited ranging from those building community specific systems to those trying to resolve the challenges of internationally linking multiple communities to create globally networked environments that share common solutions for more efficient and effective use of limited funding.
  

  IN019 – Data and Information Services for Interdisciplinary Research and Applications in Earth Science; this session seeks presentations to describe current Earth science data and information service activities for interdisciplinary research and applications, including tools or data services, existing or in development. Presentations addressing specific needs and challenges of handling big data with machine-learning or natural language processing, including access to findable and relevant data for training purposes and service development, are highly encouraged.

• IN020 – Data Integration: Enabling the Acceleration of Science Through Connectivity, Collaboration, and Convergent Science; this session explores the challenges and successes repository managers and communities have in providing support and services to researchers interested in accessing and using data from multiple sources and scientific domains with unfamiliar formats, and unknown quality and uncertainty. We seek methods for identifying and communicating best practices and challenges in this diverse data environment.
• IN029 – Exploration and Importance of Data Usage Metrics and Altmetrics; this session invites presentations on various data-usage metrics and altmetrics for research studies and/or applications, including community adoption of usage-based metrics, standards for recording and exchanging usage data, uncertainties for compilation of usage data sets, and  understanding of the whole concept of usage metrics.
• IN035 – Making Data Uncertainty Information FAIR: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable; this session seeks to discover solutions (from conceptual prototype to operational) that intend to make uncertainty information for all varieties of Earth science data FAIR and targets open-source solutions of varying types, e.g., web tools/services, documented practices/policies, metadata standards, data recipes, software packages, community repositories/hubs, cloud-based analytics, etc.
• IN038 – Near Real-Time/Low Latency Data for Earth Science and Space Weather Applications; this session seeks contributions that demonstrate the benefit of near real time/low latency scientific or social media data, discuss innovative real time analysis approaches including machine learning and big data strategies, decrease data delivery latency, or identify gaps in current capabilities.
• IN047 – Tracks across the Ocean, Sky, and Land; Many different types of projects collect track data, which describes the time and location where Earth science measurements were made along the path traversed by a ship, airplane, drone, vehicle, or hiker. This session is an opportunity to explore and share approaches for storing, discovering, visualizing, and analyzing track data, in an effort to identify recommended practices and opportunities for further collaboration across science domains.
• IN048 – Transforming Earth and Planetary Science with Mixed Reality and Other Innovative Visualization Solutions; this session seeks presentations describing current and ongoing work exploiting the power of immersive technologies as leading-edge visual frameworks, providing scientists and researchers with platforms to broaden their understanding of geophysical/geospatial science data and natural phenomena by leveraging the distinctive characteristics of VR, AR and MR.
• IN050 – What Works — and How(!?):  Sharing Successful Approaches to Educating Research Teams on Research Data Management and Related Data Skills; In this session, educational and training resource creators and adaptors are invited to share their success stories in educating scientific researchers (including students) at different phases of their education or professional career. We’d like to hear answers to the questions: What works? Do you have experience with a pedagogical approach that has proven particularly effective? Have you engaged in collaborative teaching partnerships, and if so, with whom and what has made them effective? Have you developed or used interesting hands-on activities, demonstrations, simulations, or other fun and engaging teaching tools or methods? We welcome and encourage educators from all levels and settings to participate in this session.
• PA007 – Bringing Science Down to Earth: Using Creative Storytelling and Multi-Channel Outreach to Advance Awareness and Use of Earth Science in Communities Worldwide; Creative storytelling helps showcase the many ways that Earth science provides societal benefits and improves decision making in myriad sectors and communities. Multimedia-rich stories, interactive websites, social media and media outreach deliver tailored stories that make Earth observations and data relatable to new audiences, and to potentially inspire new users. This session explores creative approaches that make clear the value and relevance of Earth observations to specific geographic locations or communities of interest through a range of channels, engaging communications techniques, and content. This session invites papers that address storytelling and content development that tailors or translates Earth science concepts, systems, and projects to communities or particular audiences.
• PA015 – Creating Harmony: Enabling the Composition of Science and Applications through Promoting Data Access and Sharing in Developing Regions; this session seeks presentations that highlight experiences, lessons learned, and innovative technologies for filling data gaps and acquiring closed-source data through building relationships to incentivize data sharing in developing regions. Efforts highlighting regional engagement, capacity building, collaborative research, and tools to help increase data access are welcome.
• PA043 – Profiles in Science: Using Relatable Stories and Personal Narratives to Spark Scientific Intrigue; From a young age, stories are how we understand new concepts and navigate the world around us. In particular, personal narratives help connect audiences to the story of science and its impact on the economy, society, and our health. Stories that blend the human experience with technical explanations told across written, oral, and visual platforms spark interest and emotion among global audiences. They are relatable and memorable. This session provides both a range of approaches for crafting personal narratives in scientific pursuits and a forum for attendees to present or appreciate such blended stories. The session invites papers that present tools, models, and techniques on this practice as well as instances of personal profiles with lessons for composing and delivering them.
• G012 – Plate Motion, Continental Deformation, and Interseismic Strain Accumulation; This session seeks studies examining the take up of plate motion in deforming zones and the buildup and release of elastic strain along major faults and in subduction zones using space geodetic measurements, geologic observations, and geophysical data such as seismicity, marine magnetic anomalies, and transform fault azimuths.
