Welcome to the Earth Science Data Analytics Cluster

Mission:

To promote a common understanding of the usefulness of, and activities that pertain to, Data Analytics and more broadly, the Data Scientist; Facilitate collaborations between organizations that seek new ways to better understand the cross usage of heterogeneous datasets and organizations/individuals who can provide accommodating data analytics expertise, now and as the needs evolve into the future; Identify gaps that, once filled, will further collaborative activities.

Objectives

- Provide a forum for ‘Academic’ discussions that allow ESIP members to be better educated and on the same page in understanding the various aspects of Data Analytics

- Bring in guest speakers to describe overviews of external efforts and further teach us about the broader use of Data Analytics.

- Perform activities that:

--- Compile use cases generated from specific community needs to cross analyze heterogeneous data (could be ESIP members or external)

--- Compile experience sources on the use of analytics tools, in particular, to satisfy the needs of the above data users (also, could be ESIP members or external)

--- Examine gaps between needs and expertise

--- Document the specific data analytics expertise needed in above collaborations

- Seek graduate data analytics/ Data Science student internship opportunities


ESIP has adopted the following definition for Earth Science Data Analytics:

The process of examining, preparing, reducing, and analyzing large amounts of spatial (multi-dimensional), temporal, or spectral data using a variety of data types to uncover patterns, correlations and other information, to better understand our Earth. This encompasses:

---Data Preparation – Preparing heterogeneous data so that they can be jointly analyzed

---Data Reduction – Correcting, ordering and simplifying data in support of analytic objectives

---Data Analysis – Applying techniques/methods to derive results


In addition, ESIP has adopted the following Goals of Earth Science Data Analytics:

ESDA Goals (read: Earth science data analytics needed ...)

---To calibrate data

---To validate data (note it does not have to be via data intercomparison)

---To assess data quality

---To perform coarse data preparation (e.g., subsetting data, mining data, transforming data, recovering data)

---To intercompare datasets (i.e., any data intercomparison; Could be used to better define validation/quality)

---To tease out information from data

---To glean knowledge from data and information

---To forecast/predict/model phenomena (i.e., Special kind of conclusion)

---To derive conclusions (i.e., that do not easily fall into another type)

---To derive new analytics tools
