Esri's Service to the Scientific Community

Esri is well known as a vendor of GIS to research labs, universities, and other places where great science is done. However, Esri continues to work toward contributing as a member of the scientific community as well. This is partly accomplished by our volunteer work on scientific advisory boards, councils, and committees. Current examples include the following:

Advisory Boards

52°North Scientific and Technical Advisory Board American Meteorological Society (AMS) Board on Global Strategies Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) Board Maritime Alliance Board of Directors National Geographic Society Board of Trustees National Water Forecasting Program Advisory Board Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC) Board of Directors Ocean Discovery XPRIZE Scientific Advisory Board University of Minnesota Institute on the Environment External Advisory Board US Geospatial Intelligence Foundation Board of Directors 

Editorial Boards

Annals of the American Association of Geographers The Cartographic Journal Geography Compass International Journal of Geographical Information Science Journal of Coastal Conservation: Planning and Management Transactions in GIS

Councils

Conservation International Science Advisory Council NatureServe Strategic Advisors Council Scripps Institution of Oceanography Director's Council Circum-Pacific Council Directors Society for Conservation GIS Advisory Council

High-Level Committees

GEBCO Technical Sub-Committee on Ocean Mapping International Cartographic Association US National Committee International Hydrographic Organization Marine Spatial Data Infrastructure committee The National Academy of Sciences Geographic Sciences Committee NSF EarthCube Liaison Team Research Data Alliance (RDA) interest group cochair and working groups UN Expert Group on the Integration of Statistical and Geospatial Information AGU Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Committee
