The ESIP Discovery Cluster proposes to host a plenary panel discussion on how to enable discovery of earth science data that support socioeconomic value and benefit of Earth science data. In this session, we will investigate the use of high value data sets that are incorporated into economic impact assessments with particular emphasis on severe weather events. This moderated discussion will focus questions to the panel on what earth science datasets are used to in their analyses, search techniques and tools used to locate relevant datasets, shortcomings with existing tools and potential solutions to improving the discoverability and accessibility of the data.
Takeaways:

 

  1. Insight into how key datasets sourced from across a diverse landscape are used to mitigate against the impacts of natural disasters
  2. Understand, from a discovery and accessibility perspective, how IT infrastructure supports prevention and reaction scenarios
