Dear Colleague, We want to bring to your attention the session entitled "Big Data in the Geosciences: New Analytics Methods and Parallel Algorithms" at the AGU Fall Meeting 2013. This session will focus primarily on novel and parallel/distributed methods for large scale data analytics across geoscience disciplines.
IN006. Big Data in the Geosciences: New Analytics Methods and Parallel Algorithms Co-conveners: Jitendra Kumar (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) Robert Jacob (Argonne National Laboratory) Don Middleton (National Center for Atmospheric Research) Forrest Hoffman (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) Earth and space science data are increasingly large and complex, often representing long time series or high resolution remote sensing, making such data difficult to analyze, visualize, interpret, and understand. The proliferation of heterogeneous, multi-disciplinary observational and model data have rendered traditional means of analysis and integration ineffective. This session focuses on development and applications of data analytics (statistical, data mining, machine learning, etc.) approaches and software for the analysis, assimilation, and synthesis of large or long time series Earth science data that support integration and discovery in climatology, hydrology, geology, ecology, seismology, and related discipline. Confirmed Invited Presenters: Gary Geernaert, Director, Climate and Environmental Sciences Division, US Department of Energy Matt Hancher, Senior Software Engineer, Google Earth Engine Jeff Daily, Scientist, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/scientific-program/session-search/sessions/in006-big-data-in-the-geosciences-new-analytics-methods-and-parallel-algorithms-2/ Please consider submitting an abstract to this session. Abstract submission is now open at http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/. The deadline for receipt of abstracts is 6 August 23:59 EDT. Please feel free to forward this message to others who might be interested in participating in this session. We hope to see you in San Francisco in December!
