[iris-bulk] Fall AGU session IN19 - From Data to Synthesis

[IRIS]

Please consider submitting an abstract to Fall AGU session IN19 -
 From Data to Synthesis: Next-Generation Science Applications.

The research community has made great strides in assembling and
publicizing a living compilation of scientific data. As we continue to
move toward greater interoperability and improved data access and
visualization, the final and most difficult challenge is building tools
that enable quantitative analyses and lead to new scientific insight. We
seek to highlight efforts underway in numerous multi-disciplinary
research communities (e.g. Ridge 2000, MARGINS, IODP, EarthScope, OOI,
IPY, OCB, GLOBEC) that aim to meet this challenge. As many of these
large-scale research initiatives move toward synthesis and integration
phases, there is a particular need for tools that are powerful,
flexible, and broadly useful across disciplines. We encourage
contributions that describe existing tools and science applications,
lessons learned, and directions for future development.


We expect this to be an exciting session, and hope you can be a part  
of it!
