2024 PACE Applications Annual Workshop:
Putting PACE Data to work across the Earth system
December 8, 2024, 9am-5pm
*Occurs the Sunday before the 2024 AGU Fall Meeting in Washington DC

The NASA Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) Applications team invites the research, applied sciences, and decision-making communities to the 2024 PACE Applications workshop on December 8th, 2024, in person in Washington DC.

This event will focus on helping you, the community of current and prospective PACE data users, put PACE data to work across the Earth System. Through planned talks and activities, we will amplify user readiness and sustained user engagement, solicit user feedback on specific data needs, and build connections across the PACE research, applied sciences, and decision-making communities.

Workshop content is cross-disciplinary, spanning aquatic (coastal, large inland lake, ocean), atmospheric, and terrestrial science and applications. The PACE Applications team invites participants across these domains that are interested in applying PACE data for research activity, resource management, decision-making, and public health across water resources, air quality and health, climate, disasters, ecological forecasting and other NASA Applied Sciences thematic areas.

We encourage attendance of individuals and organizations from diverse backgrounds, such as universities and other research organizations, government agencies, as well as the commercial, non-profit, and private sectors. A range of experience levels is also welcome, from those who would like to learn how PACE data products and capabilities may enhance their work to expert satellite remote sensing researchers already utilizing PACE or other Earth observing data.

Workshop Objectives:

Inform: provide an overview of PACE instruments, data and related support tools, and science and applications activities
Advance user engagement: Cross-disciplinary attendance and content to promote accessibility and actionability of PACE data products and incorporation of new PACE data users
Build community: In person, interactive content will cultivate strategic partnerships and community engagement within the broad PACE Community of Practice, other Earth missions, resource managers, and decision-makers.
Collect actionable user feedback: Provide a conduit for users to directly communicate needs and questions to the PACE team via interactive sessions
