Agenda

Emily's ESIP Strategic Plan and agclim items (currently, one on enhancing the spreadsheet on remote sensing data useful for agriculture)
How to enhance the spreadsheet and how to solicit and engage others to help
Preparation for July ESIP - agclim session related to the spreadsheet as a resource (?)

 Minutes:<br>
-**linking people to datasets/tools - example: SAR
-***'''Nancy will explore the opportunities with AIP8 to see whether they could help with the issue brought up by Liping and give us an opportunity to further define a use case, and possibly an opportunity for a Products & Services testbed proposal to bring SAR data into the tool Liping is using'''
-*Bring in people from conservation efforts - landuse, farming and conservation to broaden the base - as ESIP members or potential collaborators
-**CRP - Conservation Reserve Program - potential involvement with ESIP, interest in Ag, Water and Climate and may be a good collaborator. **Possible intersection with South Central Climate Center.
-***'''Bill will send information in a brief write up to Justin Goldstein for CRP connection.'''
-'''DONE'''
-*The cluster could explore the question and pull information together for guidelines and recommendations for practices on data ownership - public vs private data.
-**Possible google doc could be created for developing information about guidelines.
-*Citizen Science thoughts: An interesting conversation to continue.
-**Many people get enthusiastic, but lots of potential error.
-**Citizen Science workshop in Boise, Idaho - possibly follow up with that
-**Quality of information vs. having more information
-**Recording observations (and is that even “science”)
-**Natural disaster related use of citizen science
-**How social media/tweets might be used to augment the validation of satellite data
-**Steve Kelling - Ebird, network of bird observers. Establishing authority of people doing the observations, internal ranking/rating system.
-**Also working with tool developers - data inputs into tools that farmers might be using, where does that input information go and could it be useful for research?
-*Thoughts on questions of resolution:
-**Wade Crow
-**Bring more narrow/focused/technical aspects of resolving resolution issues
-**Potential speaker or short guest talk or potential collaborator
-*Follow up with Molly Jahn
-<br />
-*More of an FYI - SWAT hydrological model has (new) capabilities for easy integration of climate data - good for agricultural use. Long Term Crop Management Processes.
-*July ESIP page is already up - think about the theme and what this cluster can focus on for the upcoming session
