Earth Intelligence: Infographics Contest
Draft:
In the Winter of 2013, the Federation announced the theme of moving from climate assessment, to intelligence and action.
This move is signaled by a shift from earth data displays to earth data infographics and earth data public awareness and policy.
To promote the development of earth data-rich infographics on the topic of understanding natural disasters through the use of earth data resources, the Federation is now proposing a contest for the best earth-data infographic about natural disasters.
The goal of this contest is to encourage and support visualizations that enable the public to access earth science data and to realize how these data can help us understand natural disasters and our vulnerability to these.
The contest will include two tracks: students and open. The student track is available to any student from high-school through university (and post-docs too). The open track is available to any submission, including corporations.
Prizes: ???? The winning infographic will be displayed at the ESIP Summer meeting and ????
Deadlines:
Rules: ???? [should be clear and specific]
The submitted infographic must be original and not have been made public prior to this event.
The Foundation for Earth Science will receive a non-exclusive right to use all submissions. bruce c (talk) 12:13, 6 February 2013 (MST)
