The purpose of this workshop is to gather information to improve the usability of NASA airborne and related field data. The first day of the workshop will focus on input from data users, and the second day will focus on input from data producers. 

The workshop format will include some brief plenary speakers, who will highlight their perspectives on what's working well and opportunities for improvement; panel discussions; and breakout sessions involving all workshop participants. All participants will also have the ability to provide written input prior to the workshop.

This workshop is being organized by NASA's Earth Science Data Systems Program (ESDS), particularly the Airborne Data Management Group (ADMG) and the Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) Project.

Code of Conduct 

This workshop will operate under the NASA Airborne and Field Data Workshop Code of Conduct (PDF). Anyone who is the subject of, or witness to, any unacceptable behavior should notify a member of the Organizing Committee.
