Esri's Service to the Scientific Community
Esri is well known as a vendor of GIS to research labs, universities, and other places where great science is done. However, Esri continues to work toward contributing as a member of the scientific community as well. This is partly accomplished by our volunteer work on scientific advisory boards, councils, and committees. Current examples include the following:
Events and organisations
- 52°North Scientific and Technical Advisory Board
- American Meteorological Society (AMS) Board on Global Strategies
- Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) Board
- Maritime Alliance Board of Directors
- National Geographic Society Board of Trustees
- National Water Forecasting Program Advisory Board
- Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC) Board of Directors
- Ocean Discovery XPRIZE Scientific Advisory Board
- University of Minnesota Institute on the Environment External Advisory Board
- US Geospatial Intelligence Foundation Board of Directors
High-Level Committees
- GEBCO Technical Sub-Committee on Ocean Mapping
- International Cartographic Association US National Committee
- International Hydrographic Organisation Marine Spatial Data Infrastructure committee
- The National Academy of Sciences Geographic Sciences Committee
- Research Data Alliance (RDA) interest group cochair and working groups
