AGU Fall Meeting-Special Focus Session on Cyberinfrastructure

[Steve Hankin <steven.c.hankin@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello LAS-users,

I'd like to draw your attention to a session at this Fall's AGU that is
relevant to LAS as well as OPeNDAP, NVODS and all of their associated
components and partners:

----

American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting
San Francisco-13-17 December
Abstract Solicitation - Due 9 September 2004

Unidata and several other co-convenors are conducting a session
entitled, "Cyberinfrastructure for Earth Systems Science" at the AGU
Fall meeting in December. The goal of the session is to explore the need
for interoperable data systems that
support the Earth systems approach to issues cutting across the
traditional  sub-disciplines of the geosciences as well as societal
impacts (i.e., atmospheric,  oceanographic, hydrologic and solid Earth).
Abstracts should address scientific
areas that require integrated observational data and forecasting systems
from these disciplines.

Examples might include the interoperable data systems needed to
understand flash  flood or landslide conditions in drainage basins.
Datasets needed to study these  processes include digital elevation,
land use, moisture saturation, radar,  precipitation forecasts, stream
flow, local citizen observations, demographics, and  infrastructure.
Similar needs for integrated data systems could be documented for
coupled ocean/atmosphere modeling, climate studies related to El Nino/La
Nina, as well as a wide variety of plume dispersion issues in the
atmosphere and hydrosphere.

If you are interested in participating, see
