Many know of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) as among the world’s most well-respected Earth science scholarly organizations, and its annual fall meeting has dwarfed the Esri UC by well over 10,000 attendees. In 2019 the AGU Fall meeting was held, face-to-face, in San Francisco's newly-renovated Moscone Center. It attracted 28,000 attendees from 113 countries, maintaining its status as the largest Earth and space science meeting in the world. With this year's pandemic, AGU is following the lead of many other organizations in holding its meeting completely in virtual space, while extending the length of the conference from 7 days to 17. This will allow it to accommodate over 1000 hours of virtual content and to minimize conflicts over all the world's time zones. Within this virtual mode, Esri is a PREMIUM-level exhibitor with a virtual booth presence under the theme of Next Generation Science Entails WHERE: The Analysis Ecosystem That Facilitates Scientific Discovery. It will feature a bevy of rich content, messaging and demos on multidimensional scientific data and analysis, imagery, big data geoanalytics, The Living Atlas, ArcGIS Pro, R and Python integration, ArcGIS Hubs, GeoPlanner, Insights, ArcGIS StoryMaps, Learn ArcGIS, raster analytics, Ecological Land Units, Ecological Marine Units, the entire web GIS pattern, our commitment to open/interoperable, and more. Throughout the entire conference, Esri will have virtual booth staff available each day should any AGU attendee have questions, wish to speak with Esri experts, or request a science demo. AGU attendees may make such a request via this Survey123 link. In addition, a variety of science books from Esri Press will be available to AGU attendees at significant discount. Be sure to take advantage of this opportunity by visiting https://go.esri.com/AGUbooks. Many thanks to Esri Earth Sciences Solution Director Lorraine Tighe for coordinating the participation of over 20 Esri virtual booth staff in this important scientific conference. Beyond the virtual booth, we are also pleased to share the lineup of presentations that will be made by Esri staff at the 2020 AGU Fall Meeting. AGU is making all such content live, but also available on-demand, with pre-recorded oral presentations and virtual posters available for attendees to view even outside the scheduled live Q&A sessions during the meeting. You’ll see in the list below of scientific papers, posters, and entire sessions that Esri is leading or contributing on a wide variety of interesting and important projects. Many of these are in collaboration with our federal partners at NASA, NOAA, US Forest Service, Department of Energy, EPA, and the USGS, as well as several universities and national laboratories. This showcases how Esri not only enables great understanding of the world with our products and services, but also performs good science, and contributes well as a member of the scientific community, sharing and inspiring others as to The Science of Where.

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles of GIS data collection have opened an exciting new realm of geospatial applications and job opportunities (e.g., for a certified drone pilots). The demand for GIS skills is growing and will continue to grow. In this session you will hear from GIS experts about enhancing your research and accessing relevant training resources to develop your applied skills. Presenters: Dan Pisut; Joseph Kerski, and Kathy Cappelli. Living Atlas Services Used in Hurricane Preparedness and Response on AGU TV "The GEOGloWS ECMWF Streamflow Service is a worldwide application of the global runoff forecasts from the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) that transforms runoff into river discharge forecasts for every river of the world. Led by Brigham Young University (BYU) and Esri, it grew out of an effort to build a U.S. National Water Model National in 2015 by NOAA. This GEOGloWS ECMWF Streamflow Service is now fully running on ECMWF cyberinfrastructure. The hydrologic data service consists of the same 40-year historical simulations from ECMWF's ERA5-Land reanalysis and 15-day ensemble forecasts produced daily for the Copernicus Emergency Management Service Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS)." -- from a GEO press release. Additionally, these services have been used in recent weeks in operational response mode by emergency managers at Cepredenac in Guatemala.

Esri, as the world's sixth largest privately-owned technology company, a world leader in geographic information system software, spatial data science research and development, and a strong record of supporting thousands of environmental conservation initiatives since our founding in 1969, holds a vision to conduct business in harmony with the environment. This embodies Esri’s core values in the way we function, and spurs us on toward our mission of continually embedding sustainability in our internal operations (e.g., www.esri.com/en-us/about/sustainability-statement). As part of our values we acknowledge that everyone and everything in this world is connected. One does not have to lose profits by conserving – everyone needs clean air, clean water, everyone has a sense of place. It does not have to be good vs evil. We care about the same things no matter what business sector we represent or where we fall on the POLITICAL spectrum: we want a safe place to live, clean water, clean air for our families, safe food, gainful employment; good health for our family, friends, loved ones, our community, city, country, world. Science-based land and ocean conservation serve to ensure this. Esri’s ongoing sustainability initiative, includes a new strategic plan, a host of performance reporting and employee community networking and sustainability improvement projects, all in keeping with the #TogetherWithNature principles. This plan includes: Continuing to Reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) Footprint by identifying our current scope of emissions and working to reduce our net GHG emissions. Quantifying Sustainability in Esri Operations by following policies and practices to reduce our environmental impact, exceed environmental standards where practicable (such as Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards and the GHG Corporate Standard), and measuring our success. We currently deploying our own host of company-wide sustainability performance dashboards, built with our own GIS technology, that tracks pounds of CO2 emissions avoided, pounds of e-waste and hazardous waste recycled, gallons of water saved, kilowatt hours saved, pounds of particulate emissions saved, and annual car CO2 emissions avoided. Increasing Environmental Stewardship: as sustainability lies deep in our company’s values, we aim to foster sustainable practices within our organization and among our employees, distributors, and partners, including the conservation and protection of existing ecosystems on our campuses, within our vast communities, and at the global level through deep participation in initiatives such as the EO Wilson Biodiversity Foundation’s Half-Earth, Microsoft’s AI for Earth and Planetary Computer, National Geographic’s Earth Pulse, Nature Serve’s Map of Biodiversity Importance, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network, and more. Enabling Sustainability Solutions: The largest impact we can make in creating a sustainable world is through our users. We work to enable our user community of 350,000 organizations worldwide to build sustainability solutions with our location intelligence technology. To make careful and consistent decisions on issues such as fair and sustainable economic models that create new employment opportunities; where to engage underserved customers; where a company’s carbon footprint is rising or falling; where employees’ income levels fail to match the local cost of living or reveal discrepancies like a gender pay gap, companies need a way to monitor, manage, and report on their activities. One way to do this is to focus on the element that grounds nearly every social responsibility issue: its geographic dimension—the whereof what happens. For a holistic view of where an organization’s work supports its broader social duties—and where improvements are needed—companies are moving toward the idea of smart mapping to create a corporate responsibility map. In smart maps, organizations have a powerful tool to plan, track, and manage efforts toward responsible practices in every geography they touch. Many have already harnessed location intelligence generated by smart maps to grow their businesses profitably. Now, they’re finding this geographic guidance indispensable in the era of stakeholder value. Esri is proud to be among the 120 Signatories that have committed to the four #TogetherWithNature principles for investing in #NatureBasedSolutions. For more information, see TogetherWithNature.com.

Many thanks again to those who attended the Science Symposium as part of the 2020 virtual Esri User Conference. Your participation made for the greatest event ever, with 1183 attending from at least 20 countries.... ... and the amazing keynote address by Katharine Hayhoe generated 140 audience questions and comments within Slido, as well as some great audience responses in terms of polls and word clouds within Poll Everywhere! We, of course, were not able to get to all of the questions, and Katharine and I recorded a second podcast between us (Climate Change is Here and Now) as a way to answer a few more of the remaining questions and take on related issues. This podcast was released in mid-November and was also announced via @khayhoe, @deepseadawn and @GISandScience on Twitter, as well as LinkedIn. See also our first podcast, Climate Change: Science, Solutions, Hope, released in June. We are pleased to share with you these items by way of Science Symposium followup: a recording of the entire session is available within the UC 2020 platform for those of you who were officially registered for the UC. If you log in again, you can re-watch the session as many times as you would like at uc2020.esri.com/live-stream/15346311/Science-Symposium. October 1st update! The full recording is now available on YouTube ! the introductory slide deck of Esri Chief Scientist Dawn Wright is still available at this link; the slide deck of keynote speaker Prof. Katharine Hayhoe is now available at this link; a Wakelet social media compilation featuring your own notes, impressions, and screen shots is now available at wakelet.com/wake/gg4HggQjJtP26BECndRws or as a pdf. there are some additional photos by yours truly on Flickr beginning here.

We are pleased to share the lineup of oral talks, panels, and posters that will be presented December 9-13 at the 2019 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting in San Francisco's newly renovated Moscone Center, as well as the Esri Booth Demo Schedule, the most comprehensive and exciting ever. Many know of AGU as among the world’s most well-respected Earth science scholarly organizations, and its annual fall meeting dwarfs our UC by over 10,000 attendees. AGU 2019 expects 28,000 attendees from 113 countries, making it the largest Earth and space science meeting in the world. In addition, AGU's Centennial Celebration will culiminate at this year's Fall Meeting. As part of the celebration, AGU will be featuring Story Maps at their AGU Central booth, which will be at the base of the escalators in Moscone North, and then online afterward. The story maps will showcase AGU's public engagement projects for the Centennial and to map their Thriving Earth Exchange work. You’ll see in the list below of scientific papers, posters, and entire sessions that Esri is leading or contributing on a wide variety of interesting and important projects. Many of these are in collaboration with our federal partners at NASA, NOAA, US Forest Service, Department of Energy, EPA, and the USGS, as well as several universities and national laboratories. This showcases how Esri not only enables great understanding of the world with our products and services, but also performs good science, and contributes well as a member of the scientific community, sharing and inspiring others as to The Science of Where. In addition, we will have a large theater-style exhibit booth (coordinated by Research & Sciences Industry Manager Drew Stephens) with messaging and demos (as organized by Dan Pisut) on multidimensional scientific data and analysis, imagery, big data geoanalytics, The Living Atlas, ArcGIS Pro, Imagery, Ecological Land Units, Ecological Marine Units, GeoPlanner, Insights, story maps, the web GIS pattern, our commitment to open/interoperable, and more.

As we begin both the Esri Ocean and Atmospheric Forum as well as the Seabed 2030 Map the Gaps Symposium, here is a Wakelet (essentially my notes and pictures) of last month's Nippon-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Vision-to-Action event in London. This includes a recap of the panel that I was asked to serve on with Andy Hoggarth of Teledyne CARIS, Almar Hollaar of QPS, and Wetherbee Dorshow of Earth Analytic. This meeting, which took place at the historic Royal Society on Tuesday 22 October, was convened to mark the progress made in the two years since Seabed 2030 was launched, and to look ahead to the remaining challenges of mapping the gaps in our understanding of the seafloor. In the short time that it has been operational, Seabed 2030 has already seen a doubling of the bathymetric data available to produce the definitive map of the world’s oceans – an increase equivalent in size to the landmass of the entire African continent. The invitation-only roster of attendees included some of the world’s leading ocean scientists and maritime organizations, including representatives from the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO. Also in attendance were delegates from industry partners such as Esri (Chief Scientist Dawn Wright and Maritime Program Manager + GEBCO TSCOM Vice Chair Caitlyn Raines), the XPRIZE Foundation, and the team behind SEA-KIT, the unmanned surface vessel (USV) which formed a key part of the GEBCO-Nippon Foundation Alumni Team’s winning entry in the Shell Ocean Discovery XPRIZE. For additional info and notes see esriurl.com/visiontoaction and Seabed 2030's press release.
