Dear Colleague,
We are writing to call your attention to a special session at the AGU
Fall Meeting titled, "Big Data in the Geosciences: New Analytics Methods
and Parallel Algorithms". This session will focus on large scale data
analytics as applied to Earth science domains with an emphasis on
parallel algorithms and use of high performance computing resources.
Please consider submitting a contributed abstract to this session from
the AGU Fall Meeting website at http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2014/. The
deadline for abstract submissions is August 6, 2014.
*Session ID#:* 3292
*Big Data in the Geosciences: New Analytics Methods and Parallel
Algorithms*
Earth and space science data are increasingly large and
complex--often representing high spatial/temporal/spectral
resolution and dimensions from remote sensing or model
results--making such data difficult to analyze, visualize,
interpret, and understand by traditional methods. This session
focuses on application and development of new geoscientific data
analytics approaches (statistical, data mining, assimilation,
machine learning, etc.) and parallel algorithms and software
employing high performance computing resources for scalable analysis
and novel applications of traditional methods on large geoscience
data sets. Analysis methods that operate in-situ with parallel
simulations to reduce output data volumes are also of interest.
Abstracts focused on analysis, synthesis and knowledge extraction
from large and complex Earth science data from all disciplines are
invited.
*Confirmed Invited Presenters:*
* <mailto:yan...@ornl.gov> Jay Hnilo, U.S. Department of Energy
* Bill Howe, University of Washington
* Doug Nychka, National Center for Atmospheric Research
* Dean Williams, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Please forward this message to others who might be interested in
participating in the session. We hope to see you in San Francisco in
December!
