Abstract:

Data, Spatial, and Earth Science are increasingly interconnected, providing new paradigms and opportunities to advance scientific inquiry and research.  However successfully integrating these disciplines is not defined by a single, set framework.  Successful integration originated from a scientific question and the development of a hypothesis, then moving forward to find the sweet spot at the intersection of Data, Spatial, and Earth Science.  This seminar presents case-specific examples from an Earth Scientist's perspective on how to succeed (and fail) in these efforts.
