Finalize Our ESIP Winter Meeting Sessions

Session I: Climate Resilience Toolkit Case Study Workshop

• 90 Minute Session: Workshop
  

Introduction:

• Overview of how the Workshop will run
• Quick Introduction to the CRT - (Bar will contact LuAnn)
  
• Presenters (Paul Stackhouse and Jason Barnett) will introduce Web Tools and Data (availability and uses) - Overview

Breakout into Workshop:

• Look at the current work and transform it into a CRT Case Study with the Template (very general outline - narrative/storyline)
• Energy - Paul Stackhouse “leads” -- Could do many narratives - maybe choose one or do two if schedule/timing allows
• Agriculture - Jason Barnett “leads” -- Narrative from Africa and Crop Modeling

Look more closely: Both areas of CRT might be appropriate for Use Cases:

• Case Study - “Taking Action”
• Tools - Can map back to the “Taking Action” narrative

Session II New Frontiers in Ag/Energy Data Session

• 90 Minute Session: Breakout Session: ~4 speakers
  

Introduction:

• Bar could introduce?

4 Speakers:

• Maxwell Messinger - UASs (Confirmed)
• Courtney Hammond Wagner - Webtools / Mobile Apps (Mostly Confirmed)
• Lindsay Barbieri - UASs (Confirmed)
• Ray Hunt - USDA UASs (Bill will contact?)

Based on the speakers, the focus of the session has narrowed down:

• Will not include data management specifically
• Will focus on Ag, not energy

Bar will update this in the Session Description

We also briefly discussed:

• Coordination with the other two drone-related sessions: Drone Cluster and Education Committee sessions
• Changing of Student Fellows from Lindsay Barbieri to Christopher Beltz in January
