The abstract deadline is 4 March 2009.   We invite you to submit your
proposal and please pass this message on to your colleagues.

Sincerely

G05: 	High-Rate and Low-Latency Data for Earth Science Applications

Real-time delivery of multi-sensor data is increasingly the standard for
scientific networks across many disciplines. This is particularly true
for socially important Earth science applications such as earthquake
early warning and rapid finite-fault earthquake source models; tsunami
and volcano warning; flood warning and hydrologic modeling; improved
short-term weather models; landslides, debris flows, and other problems
in geomorphology; global environmental change monitoring; and space and
atmospheric physics. As a result, it is increasingly common for
terrestrial networks, Earth observing satellite missions, and now even
submarine observatories to provide low-latency data products, despite
significant technical challenges and restricted funding environments. We
intend this session to bring together network and data managers,
technologists, and researchers with an interest in low-latency data
across the Earth sciences. We particularly welcome those presentations
that define scientific needs or new solutions that can foster further
growth in this exciting area.
