a. Shea - talk about thoughts on the intro material

b. Talk about Overlap with the GeoSemantics Symposium (Beth & Bar)

c. Panel Discussion During the Session: what might that look like? should we scope the ESDA group?

2. Talk about Earth Science Data Analytics education program // some thoughts on the bigger picture in ESDA Learning


Notes:

As I (Steve) bow out, I wish to thank all who have participated in the ESIP ESDA Cluster, and contributed to the difficult task, of literally, defining this new subject discipline. Especially, much thanks goes to Tiffany, my partner in crime, for all her enthusiasm in co-seeing this through. I am extremely thankful and confident that the ESIP ESDA Cluster is in excellent hands, those of Bar (aka Lindsay Barbieri), Shea, and of course Tiffany, in moving ESDA in new and very interesting ways. These folks are movers and things are going to get very exciting, fast.


Regarding this telecon:

We spoke briefly of the communications that Bar and Steve had with Leah Wasser, who is building Earth Systems Analytics programs for college level students. Bar and Steve both participated in her survey, but have not heard back. ESIP ESDA participation would be a huge contribution we can make to advancing ESDA studies at the university level, to better prepare students for the ESDA discipline. Perhaps we can even partake in developing curriculums.


The remainder of the telecon discussion hammered out our agenda for the ESIP ESDA Cluster face to face in Bethesda. Bar provides thew following notes (also found at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17GcUjNrNsv2dpTLhNET4SferuH_dSGWg_FzvEOjhhwc/edit .
