The Earth Science Data System Working Groups (ESDSWG) is a NASA organization established under the auspices of NASA Headquarters in 2004. The chartered role of the ESDSWG focuses on the exploration and development of recommendations derived from pertinent community insights of NASA's heterogeneous and distributed Earth science data systems.
The ESDSWG is comprised of working groups organized around key technology and information system issues. Each Working Group functions independently establishing their own work plans on germane data system issues and topics. The ESDSWG members are drawn from a broad range of NASA-funded science and technology projects, NASA information technology experts, affiliated contractor staff and other interested community members from academia and industry.

ESDSWG is currently accepting proposals for new working groups. Proposals can be submitted by any member of the ESDSWG community and may be a follow-on activity to one of the current working groups, a response to one of the ESDIS Priorities listed on the proposal wiki page, or something entirely new.

A reminder that any NASA-funded attendees who are not on a grant must register in the NASA Conference Tracking System (NCTS) and receive NCTS approval before they can participate in the ESDSWG annual meeting. The JPL folks will need to register via the JPL unified forecasting system. It is important to get this done as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. The NCTS Code for the meeting is 27310-17.
The 2017 ESDSWG meeting will be held at the Loews Hotel, Annapolis, MD March 21-23.
As an off-site meeting, we are required to submit estimates for number of attendees and NASA-funded travel costs. A message has already been send to to current working group participants and attendees at the 2016 ESDSWG asking them to let us know if they plan to attend the 2017 meeting. This will also help us get the right number of rooms allocated for the hotel room block. If I somehow manged to miss you,…

2016 ESDSWG Meeting Attendees
Regular meeting registration is now closed. Limited late registrations may be accepted, subject to approval by the ESDSWG manager and provided that we have time to process applications for site visitor passes.
On-site registration is not available for this meeting.
The 2016 ESDSWG Annual Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday April 6 to Friday April 8 at GSFC. More details to follow in the New Year.
We have tentatively penciled in some possible dates for the 2016 ESDSWG meeting. We don’t have a final decision yet but it’s looking increasingly likely that the meeting will be held on-site at GSFC in the late March / early April time-frame. We have meeting rooms provisionally reserved for two options: Wed/Thu/Fri March 30 – April 1 and April 6 – April 8.
Sessions start at 9:00 AM on Tuesday March 24 in the Building 8 Auditorium on the second floor.

We have created a list of ESDIS, DAAC, MEaSUREs, and SIPS presentations that will be held during next week's Fall AGU Meeting. This list is hosted on the Earthdata Wiki - AGU Fall Meeting Presentations.
Feel free to add sessions where you will be presenting and provide a link to your AGU abstract; also denote whether it is an oral or poster presentation. Include the date, time and location of your presentation. Please follow the format on the wiki page.
The 2015 ESDSWG Meeting is confirmed for March 24 -26 at GSFC.
