Community for Data Integration (CDI)

Join us this fall for a unique community-driven process for building USGS capabilities in data integration and management.

The September 2020 Monthly Virtual Meeting will have a presentation on structured data on the web for earth science: emerging best practices and remaining challenges, and a CDI pop-up lab where CDI Coordinator Leslie Hsu and other CDI members will answer questions from the CDI community.

Find out more recent CDI Collaboration Area activity on the topics of machine learning, data curation tools, fire science, communicating hazard and risk science, and more! 

The August 2020 Monthly Virtual Meeting will have a presentation on integrating a short-term climate forecast into a restoration management support tool, and a CDI pop-up lab where CDI Coordinator Leslie Hsu and other CDI members will answer questions from the CDI community.

The July 2020 Monthly Virtual Meeting will have presentations from USGS Science Analytics & Synthesis on Tools for USGS Science Data Management and from the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) on the Mobile Awareness GEOINT Environment (MAGE) and MapCache mobile apps.
