Dear fellow GO-ESSPer's<br>
<br>
I would like you to consider attending the Spring Meeting at AGU- a
meeting that is still quite manageable in size, unlike it's Fall
cousin, and this year it is being conducted at the Greater Fort
Lauderdale-Broward County Convention Center (1950 Eisenhower Boulevard,
Fort Lauderdale, Florida) May 27 through the 30th, 2008. <br>
<br>
I would like to invite you and your colleagues to participate in the
<u>Earth and Space Science Informatics </u>(ESSI) session entitled:<br>
<span class="main"><span class="header"><b><i><big><br>
"Data, Tools, Distribution and Forecast Systems for International
Collaboration</big><big>"</big></i></b></span></span><br>
<br>
I'm excited to report that our co-sponsor's are Atmospheric Science;
Education and Human Resources; Ocean Sciences; and
Hydrology-Land-Atmosphere Interactions. <br>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Description:</b> <span style=""> </span>The
impetus for this session is the building of a stronger and broader
space and
Earth science cyberinfrastructure community through international
collaboration.
We encourage papers on biogeophysical, meteorological, ecological,
remote
sensing, and related intelligent and adaptive systems. These may
include data
collection, processing, and knowledge discovery. Of particular interest
will be
presentations on data, tools, and forecast systems that foster
collaborations
among research and education communities, and those that represent
efforts
aimed at advancing GEO-related tasks and activities, especially in the
Western
Hemisphere.<o:p> </o:p>We strongly encourage the participation of
Latin American
scientific and higher education organizations in this session.<o:p></o:p></p>
I think this will be an exciting collection of individuals in this
highly relevant session. The deadline for online submissions for
abstracts is March 5, 2008. Please contact me or any of the other
conveners posted on the AGU site should you have any questions at:<br>
