Science Data Mobile Apps and Other Mobile Technologies to Improve Data Access and Usability

• Description:

Mobile devices (smart phones and tablets) are commonplace among Earth science data users. This provides opportunities and challenges for bringing new capabilities to users via apps that go beyond what can be achieved with traditional computer applications This session focuses on the innovative use of mobile device unique capabilities (their mobility and ubiquity; location awareness; photo, video, and sound recording; accelerometers, networking, etc.) for apps that bring new data access capabilities to users and broaden the number of users using EO data.
