Dear Colleague, We are writing to call your attention to a special session at the AGU Fall Meeting titled, "Big Data in the Geosciences: New Analytics Methods and Parallel Algorithms". This session will focus on large scale data analytics as applied to Earth science domains with an emphasis on parallel algorithms and use of high performance computing resources. Please consider submitting a contributed abstract to this session from the AGU Fall Meeting website at http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2014/. The deadline for abstract submissions is August 6, 2014.
*Session ID#:* 3292 *Big Data in the Geosciences: New Analytics Methods and Parallel Algorithms* Earth and space science data are increasingly large and complex--often representing high spatial/temporal/spectral resolution and dimensions from remote sensing or model results--making such data difficult to analyze, visualize, interpret, and understand by traditional methods. This session focuses on application and development of new geoscientific data analytics approaches (statistical, data mining, assimilation, machine learning, etc.) and parallel algorithms and software employing high performance computing resources for scalable analysis and novel applications of traditional methods on large geoscience data sets. Analysis methods that operate in-situ with parallel simulations to reduce output data volumes are also of interest. Abstracts focused on analysis, synthesis and knowledge extraction from large and complex Earth science data from all disciplines are invited. *Confirmed Invited Presenters:* * <mailto:yan...@ornl.gov> Jay Hnilo, U.S. Department of Energy * Bill Howe, University of Washington * Doug Nychka, National Center for Atmospheric Research * Dean Williams, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm14/webprogrampreliminary/Session3292.html Please forward this message to others who might be interested in participating in the session. We hope to see you in San Francisco in December!
