Earth Observation (EO) technologies, such as satellites and remote sensing, provide a comprehensive view of the Earth's surface, enabling real-time monitoring and data acquisition. Within the environmental domain, EO facilitates tracking land use changes, deforestation, and biodiversity,   thereby   supporting   evidence-based   conservation   efforts.   Social   factors, encompassing population dynamics and urbanization trends, can be analyzed to inform inclusive and resilient development strategies. EO also assumes a crucial role in policy formulation by furnishing accurate and up-to-date information on environmental conditions, thereby supporting informed decision-making. Furthermore, technical aspects, like infrastructure development and resource management, benefit from EO's ability to provide detailed insights into terrain characteristics and natural resource distribution. The integration of Earth Observation across these domains yields a comprehensive understanding of the intricate interplay between environmental, social, policy, and technical factors, fostering a more sustainable and informed approach to development initiatives. In this presentation, I will discuss our lab's work in Bangladesh, Angola, and other countries, covering topics such as coastal erosion, drought, and air pollution.

Welcome to the Information Technology and Interoperability Committee Wiki
Committee Chair: Dave Blodgett

Get Involved

The IT&I committee provides a venue for a monthly community webinar on current Information Technology and Interoperability topics. In early years, the webinar series was known as the "IT&I Rants and Raves" a title the committee is bringing back starting in 2023.

Rants and Raves are designed to get smart people to share insightful, provocative views of what's great and what's not about technology and interoperability in modern Earth science. We welcome, high energy talks on personal pet peeves: topics that you can't believe in this day and age we're still dealing with, or solutions that you can't believe that in this day and age more people aren't using.

February 15th: "Creating Great Data Products in the Cloud" (Jed Sundwall)

Competition within the public cloud sector has reliably led to reduction in object storage costs, continual improvement in performance, and a commodification of services that have made cloud-based object storage a viable solution to share almost any volume of data. Assuming that this is true, what are the best ways to create data products in a cloud environment? This presentation will include an overview of lessons learned from Radiant Earth as they’ve advocated for adoption of cloud-native geospatial data formats and best practices.

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.

Information Technology and Interoperability Committee

The Information Technology and Interoperability Committee of the ESIP Federation is a standing committee created to:

  • ensure that data, information and services can be readily exchanged and integrated to improve Earth science data, information, products and services; and
  • encourage the use of standards and protocols relevant to interoperability;
  • encourage the use of best information technology practices to ensure the quality, usability and breadth of standards and protocols relevant to interoperability.
