Organizers announce calls for abstract submissions for the following
session to be convened during the Arctic Change 2014 conference being
held 8-12 December 2014 Ottawa, Canada.
Session T25, entitled "From Data to Knowledge: Enabling
Cross-Disciplinary Science Through Data Archives and Online Access
Tools."
Session Organizers:
Julie Friddell, Scott Tomlinson, Benoit Pirenne, and Dieter Piepenburg.
Session Description: As the diversity and volume of Arctic data
increase, the opportunity for collaboration and discovery across and
between disciplines also grows. This session invites presentations on
activities related to improving access to, and understanding of, the
data being collected and archived from current and past Arctic research
and observation. Contributions are encouraged which describe existing or
planned interactive data visualization, mapping, or other online tools
for enhanced access and analysis, including examples of integrating
disparate datasets and supporting a diversity of science disciplines and
data types. Examples from researchers or data portals of transforming
data into useful information and knowledge are particularly welcome.
Information is sought on the needs and requirements of researchers,
northern residents, northern organizations, policy makers, and others
who generate, use, or need Arctic data and information. Additionally,
recommendations on standards or best practices related to data
stewardship, access, and display, including experiences in managing
large or (quasi) real-time streaming datasets as well as specialized
datasets contributed by individual researchers, are welcome. Oral and
poster presentations may be accompanied by a panel discussion on these
and related topics, including upcoming technological trends to support
use of data for advancement of cross-disciplinary and integrative
science.
Submission deadline: Friday, 3 October 2014.
