ESIP Vision
To be a leader in promoting the collection, stewardship and use of Earth science data, information and knowledge that are responsive to societal needs.
2015-2020 Strategic Plan Goals
- Increase the use and value of Earth science data and information.
- Strengthen the ties between observations and user communities (e.g. technologies, research, education and applications).
- Promote techniques to articulate and measure the socioeconomic value and benefit of Earth science data, information, and applications.
- Position ESIP to play a major role in Earth science issues (e.g. addressing effects of climate change mitigation, adaptation and supporting sustainable science data infrastructure).

Agriculture & Climate Plan
Agriculture & Climate Objective:
Things we may do to fulfill our objectives:
- Establish "pipeline" for identification, documentation, and support of Earth Science researchers to develop case studies for the Climate Resiliency Toolkit in conjunction with CRT staff.
- Assist Earth Science researchers focused on Agriculture & Climate, and Energy & Climate issues in learning how to describe some aspects of their research questions and resulting data for broader public communication and understanding. Activities might include, for example, formulating questions that a researcher can answer and in so doing, develp in the development of additional resources to help researchers learn how to transform their research into stories by, for example,
- Work with CRT to develop (semi-)automated generation of case studies, with answers to questions as inputs.
- Explore methods to provide incentives for other ESIP or non-ESIP participants to develop case studies that would go into the pipeline. Incentives could be monetary or non-monetary (TBD).
- Sponsor session(s) at Summer'16 and Winter'17 Meetings ...
- Collaborate with Energy & Climate ...
- USDA ARS LTAR, Climate Hubs ...
Things our collaboration area needs to deliver our objectives?
(e.g. Partnerships, in-kind support, staff support)
How will we know we are on the right track?
- Re: CRT "pipeline" - Other ESIP groups initiate use of "pipeline" ...
How will others know what we are doing in & out of ESIP?
Cross-collaboration area connections
(Identify other areas that you consider cross collaboration. Are there things that you need us to provide in support the cross collaboration?)
- With Drone Cluster ...
