Spatial Data Infrastructure and GIS for Earth and Space Sciences: Analyzing, Visualizing, and Sharing Spatiotemporal, Cloud-Optimized Earth Science Data I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 60535

Session Description:
Scientists and system engineers use geospatial data to manage organizational infrastructure, quantify the need and risk associated, and plan future development. The diversity and complexity of scientific data pose challenges in how it is stored, accessed, managed and shared, visualized, and fused for answering scientific questions. Spatial data infrastructure (SDI)  is built on frameworks that support Earth Observations such as satellite imagery, climate-weather observations, and forecasts that are service oriented and distributed. Such frameworks allow us to store and manage data, generate science products, develop users' need based applications. In addition, GIS provides critical bridge between large and diverse data sets and broad communities from scientists to decision makers.   This session explores critical components of cloud-optimized SDIs, including systems and workflows for spatio-temporal data ingest, archive, storage, and distribution, as well as the use of GIS, machine/deep learning, and HPC as applied in big Earth data exploitation.
