This session will bring speakers in from the Earth science community to discuss their work involving data analytics within the process of turning data into knowledge. Talks will focus on specific projects involving earth science data analytics, and will address the data to knowledge process from multiple perspectives, including data management, data integration, data transformation and end-user application. The session will also provide perspective from the tools and data infrastructure that enable, and indeed are integral to Earth science data analytics. We will have presentations from these two vantage points (1) management/applications and (2) tools/infrastructure, with the goal of showcasing a selection of specific applications, and architectures in use for earth science data analytics.

In addition to the community presentations in these areas, this session will also help to identify and activate a network of organizations working on all parts of data analytics in the earth sciences, and may serve to launch the formation of an ESDA Summer ESIP session surrounding “Open Data Analytics” - bringing interoperability to data analytics, and interoperability of data analytics platforms across organizations that serve data.
