[Data-Mongers] Fall AGU 'Big Data' Session Reminder

[Danie Kinkade]

Dear Colleagues,
As the Fall AGU abstract deadline draws near, we'd like to remind you of 
the session: Earth and Space Science Data Facilities in a Big Data 
World.  We are excited to have the following speakers, and hope you'll 
consider contributing:

Ruth Duerr (National Snow and Ice Data Center)
Kerstin Lehnert (Integrated Earth Data Applications)
Stefano Nativi (National Research Council, Institute for Atmospheric 
Pollution)
Steven Petersen (National Environmental Satellite Data and Information 
Services)

Session ID# 3699
Session Description:
For years, Earth and space science data facilities around the world have 
been managing digital data assets and making the information available 
to their designated communities.  These facilities, defined loosely as 
organizations whose primary mission includes the receipt and 
dissemination of digital data, have adapted themselves to manage the 
changing data-driven demands and meet the evolving requirements of their 
users. These challenges can be more effectively met in today's data 
rich, yet often budget-limited world through sharing of experiences, 
knowledge, and solutions. This session solicits abstract submissions 
from Earth and space science data facilities on how they have approached 
the Big Data challenges of volume, velocity, veracity, and variety; from 
users on their requirements for and experiences with data facilities; 
and from the entire community on their actionable thoughts and 
recommendations on how to effectively manage digital assets for current 
and future generations.

Session Conveners:
Kenneth Casey (NOAA/NESDIS/NODC)
Danie Kinakde (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
Veronica Guidetti ( European Space Agency)
