Ge Peng Candidate Statement
Candidate for Data Stewardship Committee Chair
A key challenge for global science is enabling effective data sharing across diverse systems, disciplines, and applications. Standardizing practices among organizations that host Earth science data—or establishing machine-readable mappings across them—would be a major step forward.
ESIP is well-suited to take on this challenge, and the Data Stewardship Committee is well-positioned to lead the effort by leveraging national and international expertise to make sensible progress.
Over the past decade, I have coordinated efforts through the Information Quality Cluster to improve documentation and sharing of data quality information. I would welcome the opportunity to help coordinate and facilitate ESIP-wide efforts to promote standardized data governance and stewardship practices across organizations, ultimately enhancing Earth science data interoperability across systems.
