Easy Resources for Managing Marine Data

Managing marine data can feel as bottomless as the ocean, but the ESIP Marine Data Cluster and Deep Ocean Observing Strategy (DOOS) help oceanographers stay afloat with a handful of data management tools and resources.

Check out the new blog on Merge with the team's quick dips and deep dives. 
 

Volunteer at the EGU Data Help Desk

Volunteer as a data or software expert for the Open Science & Data Help Desk during the 2023 EGU General Assembly (24-28 April 2023).

Join in-person at the booth, teach a demo or tutorial, answer Earth science data and software questions virtually over Twitter and Slack, or share a tool through a recorded demo or one-pager. Fill out our volunteer form by April 5. 

Support #EarthScienceData Grad Students

Raskin Scholarship – Applications Due March 25

Founded in honor of Rob Raskin, this scholarship helps support graduate students in the Earth or computer sciences with an interest in community evolution of Earth science data systems. The awardee presents at the July ESIP Meeting (remember last year's inspiring presentation with Colette Brown?)

Learn more and share the link: esipfed.org/raskin. Applications are due by March 25.

IT&I Tech Dive is co-hosted by the USGS Community for Data Integration (CDI).

Collaboration Area Highlights

SWEET Working Sessions

Join the ESIP Semantic Tech Committee to work on enhancing the SWEET Ontology — semantic web for Earth and environmental terminology. The group is specifically looking to review candidate term definitions from multiple vocabularies as well as bug fixes. Everyone is welcome to attend; the next session is Wed, March 15 at 4 p.m. EDT. Join via the ESIP Community Calendar.
 

Eclipse Kits and the Summer Teacher Workshop

The ESIP Education Committee will hold a workshop in Burlington, Vermont this summer with a focus on the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse, plus additional Earth science topics.

Every participating G6-14 educator will receive an “eclipse kit” with enough safety glasses for students in a typical size classroom to safely experience the eclipse.

Share the early sign up list with interested teachers!
