Dates:
June 17th – 21st 2019

Location:
NCAR
3450 Mitchell Lane, Boulder, CO 8030

The next IS-GEO Workshop will be hosted June 17-21, 2019 in Boulder, Colorado at NCAR. There is an optional “Adaptive Sensing Workshop” being held June 17th-19th at the Sparkfun Maker Space where a full kit (~value $260.00) plus additional funds for installation/expansion of the project is included in the cost. Field installation locations will be announced in the coming month (April 2019). If you have an idea for a project, now is the time to jot them down for a “rapid prototyping and deployment” experience!

2017 IS-GEO Summer Institute

The IS-GEO Summer Institute will take place July 24-28, 2017 in the Texas Advanced Computer Center of Austin. The institute will consist on a series of introductory tutorials and follow up hands-on sessions.  Each tutorial will provide an introductory overview to concepts in a particular research area, which will be applied to a concrete problem in the follow up hands-on session.  Evenings will be devoted to brainstorming projects of interest to participants, and drafting papers based on the work done during the day.

IS-GEO RCN Kickoff Meeting

The IS-GEO RCN kickoff meeting will happen Wednesday, January 18, 2017 – Friday January 20, 2017 at UT Austin.

We would like all attendees to organize sessions and lead RCN activities, and have already assigned some of the participants to chair and organize some of the sessions.

Remote access is available via a Zoom meeting all 3 days.

You will need to ‘register’ the first time you access the meeting: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/8f8b37ee0cc51bef4ac87b605f06faf5 

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting and this information should be the same for all three days.

The IS-GEO community is active and growing!

A result of the initial workshop in March 2015 was a comprehensive report with findings from the workshop.  In the subsequent months the report was presented at multiple meetings and venues as outreach to the community.

Please submit contributions and items you would like share with the group to: sawpierce at gmail.com

IS­-GEO: Intelligent Systems Research to Support Geosciences

Please submit your abstracts for GSA 2015 to the IS-GEO Session

Session Description: This session will present advances in our understanding of the Earth system through innovative cyberinfrastructure that pushes the envelope on information systems research. Presentations will explore approaches that leverage Intelligent Systems (IS) to tackle heterogeneous data integration and visualization problems, as well as ontological reasoning with scientific metadata and mathematical models. Specific examples are expected to incorporate the current state of Intelligent Systems for Geosciences (IS­GEO) projects with forward­looking summaries from the IS­GEO community of practitioners and researchers. Addressing Intelligent Systems for Geosciences (IS­GEO) challenges requires collaboration among researchers from geosciences and information systems. Presentations in the ISGEO session are expected to merge ongoing efforts of the EarthCube initiative with technological advances across the geosciences.
