Dear GALEON Partners,

This note is to make sure you are aware of the new AGU permanent focus group on 
Earth and Space Science Informatics (ESSI). The AGU created it after the 
success of last year's special focus sessions on cyberinfrastructure topics

I encourage you to consider submitting abstracts to one of the many subsessions 
that have been proposed for this year's Fall (December) AGU
meeting:

1. Earth and Space Science Informatics General Contributions 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/AGU-ESSI/AGU-ESSIsessions.htm#SS1>

2. Intelligent and Adaptive Systems for Data Collection, Processing, and Knowledge 
Discovery 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/AGU-ESSI/AGU-ESSIsessions.htm#SS2>

3. Emerging Better, or Best, Practices for Distributed Data Systems and Virtual 
Observatories 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/AGU-ESSI/AGU-ESSIsessions.htm#SS3>

4. Frontiers in Remote Sensing and Space-Based Earth System Observations 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/AGU-ESSI/AGU-ESSIsessions.htm#ss4>

5. Emerging Technology for Environmental Sensor Networks 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/AGU-ESSI/AGU-ESSIsessions.htm#ss5>

6. Advances and trends in Biogeophysical, Ecological, and Related Data Collection, 
Analysis, Archiving, and Distribution 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/AGU-ESSI/AGU-ESSIsessions.htm#ss6>

7. Building a Global Geoscience Cyberinfrastructure: International Collaboration in 
Geoinformatics 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/AGU-ESSI/AGU-ESSIsessions.htm#ss7>

8. Transforming Geoscience Access Through Standards Implementation 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/AGU-ESSI/AGU-ESSIsessions.htm#ss8>

9. Web-based Service Oriented Earth Science 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/AGU-ESSI/AGU-ESSIsessions.htm#ss9>

10. Ontologies for Earth and Space Sciences 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/AGU-ESSI/AGU-ESSIsessions.htm#ss10>

11. Community Approaches to Data Sharing 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/AGU-ESSI/AGU-ESSIsessions.htm#ss11>

12. Statistical Treatment of Analytical and Synthetic Data in Earth Sciences: Moving 
From the Qualitative to the Quantitative 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/AGU-ESSI/AGU-ESSIsessions.htm#ss12>

13. Analysis and Representation of Geophysical Data on the Sphere 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/AGU-ESSI/AGU-ESSIsessions.htm#ss13>

14. Data Fusion 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/AGU-ESSI/AGU-ESSIsessions.htm#ss14>

15. Multidisciplinary Global Modeling -- Moving Towards the Really Big Picture 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/AGU-ESSI/AGU-ESSIsessions.htm#ss15>

16. Visualization of Large Data Sets in Earth Space Sciences 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/AGU-ESSI/AGU-ESSIsessions.htm#ss16>

It's clear that GALEON work is relevant to several of these sessions.  There's 
a general description of the ESSI with more detail about the sessions at: 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/AGU-ESSI/AGU-ESSIsessions.htm


The deadline for online abstracts is September 8th. Abstracts can be submitted 
at the AGU web site: http://submissions4.agu.org/submission/entrance.asp

This would be a good place to let our colleagues know about the work going

on in the GALEON interoperability experiment.
