2021 ESIP Summer Meeting

For over 20 years, ESIP meetings have brought together the most innovative thinkers and leaders around Earth observation data, thus forming a community dedicated to making Earth observations more discoverable, accessible and useful to researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and the public. The theme of this year’s meeting is Leading Innovation in Earth Science Data Frontiers.
ALL SESSION RECORDINGS CAN NOW BE FOUND ON THE ESIP YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

I am currently a Research Scientist at North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies, affiliated with NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information. My current research at NCICS focuses on generating a blended near-surface air temperature dataset by integrating in situ measurements and satellite observations via innovative statistical models. I was an ESIP Community Fellow during 2018-2020 for the Machine Learning Cluster and am the co-chair of the Data Readiness Cluster.
