Data Help Desk Cluster
ACTIVE
What we do: Connect researchers to Earth science data and open science tools, software, and leading practices.
Why we do it: Not everyone gets training in computer science or data management. Success is about human connection and networking as much as technical skill.
The Data Help Desk is now a volunteer-led Cluster. Want to help connect scientists, researchers, and grad students to Earth science data tools, software, and open science practices? Then join the behind-the-scenes team.
The Data Help Desk is a program we bring to major Earth science conferences throughout the year, including AGU, AMS, EGU, and GSA. We help arrange for and oversee conference booths, coordinate volunteers at the booth, network with partner organizations and sponsors, and develop how-to materials.
The Cluster meets once a month on the fourth Friday at 1 PM U.S. Eastern Time. Join via the ESIP Community Calendar.

What is the Data Help Desk?
Bringing people together is what ESIP does. The Data Help Desk specifically connects domain scientists and data experts to share knowledge, tools, and workflows.
Data Help Desks are held at various Earth science conferences, including the American Geophysical Union (AGU), the European Geophysical Union (EGU), American Meteorological Society (AMS), and Geological Society of America (GSA).
Often housed in the Exhibit Hall, the Data Help Desk is led by volunteer data experts who share their time and wisdom with students, domain scientists new to data management, and anyone interested in learning more about leading practices in open science.
Many volunteers contribute demos, one-pagers, and recordings to help make Earth science data more findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR). Many volunteers and their topics of interest are connected to the ESIP Lab and ESIP Collaboration Areas.
