Data collection at the sensor: An overwhelming amount of scientific data finds its inception at the edge, and advances in edge computing allow scientists to analyze and process data even before it is transferred anywhere else. This session would focus on methods and best practices for capturing high-quality data from edge sensors. Some collaboration exists within USGS and the community for clever new ways to collect data at the edge, but there are many opportunities to increase collaboration through information sharing and standardization. We aim to provide a venue for this collaboration.
