How NASA, NOAA, and the USGS Increase the Use and Value of Earth Science Data and Information

The Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) 2019 Webinar Series explores activities within and outside of ESIP that contribute to increasing the use and value of Earth science data and information by addressing three main questions: How do these activities contribute to increasing the use and value of Earth science data and information? What are quantitative and qualitative ways that can be used to assess and measure this use and value? And, what are the challenges and opportunities that currently exist in further increasing the use and value of Earth science data and information?

In this first webinar of the series, ESIP's sponsor representatives from NASA, NOAA, and the USGS give updates on their efforts to increase the use and value of Earth science data and information.
