Grant to fund Austin Post glaciology photography access
August 9, 2012
Vicky Wolf, user support supervisor at the Alaska Satellite Facility, was awarded a mini-grant of $5,000 in the annual FUNding Friday competition at a
recent Federation of Earth Science Information Partners meeting.
The grant was awarded for a poster proposing to generate metadata to community standards
for the Austin Post Glacial Photography Collection held by the Geophysical Institute GeoData Center. Wolf proposed making the photo collection available online in formats compatible
with OpenSearch tools and RSS feeds that would enable a broad range of users access
to the work.
The ESIP Federation is a broad-based, volunteer community of researchers and associated
groups that produce, interpret and develop applications for Earth and environmental
science data.
