[Ica-osgeo-labs] New GeoForAll Thematic group? Geospatial Open Environmental Sensor Networks?

[Charlie Schweik]

Thanks Lene and others for your interest!

My colleague Rick Peltier [1] -- who is an excellent atmospheric chemist
and who is leading the Air Sensors Everywhere effort and gave the
introductory webinar -- did a great job of kicking this air sensor
everywhere topic off.

For those who attended or look at the webinar -- One thing that perhaps
could have been emphasized more was our hope to develop international
collective action in this area. Our hope is that perhaps there is a subset
of interested people in our GeoForAll labs to perhaps start a "small
geospatial environmental sensor" effort. We know there are others working
in this space already...

Further, this connects to the Volunteer Geographic Information or
GeoCrowdsourcing or Citizen Science component of GeoForAll too. I plan to
work on a revised submission to our National Science Foundation for our
OpenStreetSmart effort (we received a "high prioirity" ranking in our last
submission, but were not funded, so I'm resubmitting).  In that
resubmission I plan to focus our efforts a bit more, and so I think
low-cost geoexplicit environmental sensors that feed NASA Worldwind would
be one such area of focus.

In short, should we create a new GeoForAll thematic that is on "Open
Geospatial Environmental Sensor Networks" and start seeing who all in our
network is interested in this topic?

Cheers
Charlie
