Save the dates for Integrated Earth 2023, a two-day conference between 12-13 September at the Shine Dome on Ngunnawal Country (Canberra) for scientists and STEM professionals to find ways to better integrate data across each of the Earth systems — geosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere — to address complex Earth systems challenges.

Key Details

  • 12 - 13 September 2023

  • Shine Dome, Canberra, Australia

  • 150 Participants working across the five Earth systems

  • The Conference will be held over two days, with sessions covering each of the five Earth systems but focusing on the boundaries between each system and one session linking all the systems through data. Virtual attendance will be available for some keynote attendees, but the focus will be on a face-to-face experience. There will be one invited speaker in each session.

    The final sessions will be a facilitated workshop format to identify actions and mechanisms to sustainably fund an ongoing collaborative activity in strategy development, data acquisition, research or data management and delivery. They will include panel members from international organisations such as CODATA.

    The meeting will close with a session to address interoperability issues identified during the meeting and plan a national approach to improve data and meta-data standards and interoperability across all disciplines, thus facilitating much simpler modelling, data sharing and collaboration.

  • The Australian Earth-System Simulator (ACCESS-NRI) – Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Cryosphere & Biosphere – is a national research Infrastructure created to support development and research with the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator (ACCESS) modelling system.

    The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) – Data – is Australia’s peak body for research data. We’re leading the Planet Research Data Commons, a national scale data infrastructure for earth and environmental research and decision making.

    AuScope – Geosphere – is Australia’s provider of research infrastructure to the national geoscience community working on fundamental geoscience questions and grand challenges — climate change, natural resources security and natural hazards — for the common good into the future.

    Australia’s Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) – Hydrosphere & Cryosphere – has been operating a wide range of observing equipment throughout Australia’s coastal and open oceans since 2006. IMOS makes all of its data openly and freely accessible to the marine and climate science community, other stakeholders and users, and international collaborators.

    The National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) – Data, compute & all spheres – is Australia’s leading high-performance data, storage and computing organisation, providing expert services to benefit all science, government and industry domains.

    Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) – Biosphere – measures key terrestrial ecosystem attributes over time from continental scale to field sites at hundreds of representative locations and openly provides model-ready data that enable researchers to detect and interpret changes in ecosystems.

About

This two-day symposium at the Shine Dome on Ngunnawal Country (Canberra) aims to integrate Earth systems expertise and data better to address Australia's complex Earth systems challenges. This event will be run in a face-to-face hybrid format from 12 – 13 September 2023 and will be free for all to attend. It is being produced by members of the National Earth and Environmental Sciences Facilities Forum (NEESFF), including TERN, AuScope, NCI, ARDC, IMOS and ACCESS-NRI. The late Elizabeth and Frederick White and the Australian Academy of Science generously support it.

Integrated Earth 2023 will bring together participants working across the five Earth systems (geosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere) to identify opportunities for data integration and scientific collaboration.

Organisers seek to create a cross-disciplinary community of practice for Australian Earth and environmental science data, ensuring that, whilst researchers might collect data in isolation and for a specific research problem, it can be integrated with other data for a wide range of possible applications.

Due to the limited capacity at the Shine Dome and the requirement to ensure diverse participation in this event, we invite your expression of interest in attending this event, in-person. Please fill in this short survey (15-30 minutes) before 5 pm AEST on Friday, 5 May 2023.

Please fill in your contact details below for everyone else who would like to attend online or to be kept updated about key event milestones, including program announcements, attendee registration and seminar outcomes.
