my name is Brooks Hansen I'm an executive vice president for science at
the American Geophysical Union we are really pleased to partner again for the
fourth year with NASA on the student data visualization competition this
competition is now named after Mike Freilich, Mike Ran, led a lot of the
science efforts at NASA and was also really the driving force and inspiration
behind this award and so we're really pleased to recognize his lasting
contribution not only to the science but to this award data are increasingly
important in some Earth's Earth and space science data are so important in
many aspects of our science but also our economy a lot of the improvements in in
say weather prediction have come from global data integration our GPS system
which flies airplanes and lets us find restaurants for dinner tonight
is driven by by a whole wide range of Earth and Space science data these data
have a many other economic uses from from useful ship navigation ship
navigation to many other to efficient agriculture many other understandings of
how we're affecting our planet communicating the importance of this
data to the public to policymakers and to other scientists is critically
important and that's why these data visualization contest is so important
for them where these students are emphasizing through this award these
students not only are the future leaders of our Earth and space science but
demonstrating that that level of communication and sharing our science
with our community with our support public supporters worldwide is
critically important so again we're so pleased to be partnering with NASA on
this I'm going to turn it over to Sandra to announce Award winners so I am Sandra
Cauffman I am the acting director for the Earth Science Division I was
Mike Freilich deputy and upon his retirement I am acting on the position and because
my I needed a deputy and so Dr. Paula Bontimpi
is the acting deputy for the division now so it takes two to replace Mike kind
of ways that it is my distinct pleasure to be here announcing these winners Mike
was a big advocate for the hyper-wall and data visualization and if you ever had
an opportunity to listen to him talk it was just he did a such a wonderful job
with you know conveying the science and also he was a very strong believer in
early career and in motivating the next generation of individuals that are gonna
be following on on our footsteps so I am so pleased to be able to announce that
the next four winners, of four of them were announced yesterday so these are
the, the second a lot of for winners, winners, so the first one is Veronica
Sutherland would you please come up so
Veronica what she did is to, the title of her data visualization was estimating
the health impacts of air pollution using satellite derived concentration
estimates so after all the award presentations you're going to be able to
hear that what they did and see what they did and then that you're gonna be
blown away I saw Veronica congratulations ah to
you and we have a little present here and that's yeah, yeah and I don't know
what the camera is better we got a lot of come on up Paula
yeah
over there
okay you stay there it's fine the second person is Julia Carr, yeah
and the title of her the data visualization and the storytelling was how do bedrock
rivers transport coarse sediment using UAVs and field surveys to quantify
sediment transport in Taiwan congratulations very much
and look at the camera over there
the third winner is Amanda Price please come forward and the title of her data
visualization and storytelling was investigating dynamic earthquake
triggering in the Marianas subduction zone using 3D and 4D visualization
awesome and congratulations
and look at the camera over there, come on guys
and the last one is Anna Barth please come forward yeah and the title of
her data visualization storytelling was listening to eruption dynamics at Lone
Star Geyser Yellowstone using multivariate sonification
congratulations
now can we get them all it's like it's like a good picture to all of us I look
thank you so, so much now please stay and listen to their presentations
