32nd Conference on Environmental Information Processing Technologies (EIPT) The conference, chaired by Scott Jacobs, NWS and Nazila Merati was held in New Orleans, Louisiana from January 10-14 2016. EIPT convened 18 sessions covering a variety of topics ranging from crowdsourcing weather observations to AWIPS updates. EIPT also held four joint sessions with other conferences and participated in two themed joint sessions. On January 12, EIPT was the lead conference on a moderated panel session on the topic of the NOAA Big Data CRADA. Unidata’s Mohan Ramamurthy moderated the panel. Participants included the NOAA Big Data Project Director, Amy Gaskins, William Gail from Global Weather Corp., Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC)’s George Percivall, Leanne Haselden from IBM, Valliappa Lakshmanan from Climate Corporation and Maria Patterson representing Open Science Data Cloud. The panel was well attended. We plan on furthering this discussion at the 2017 meeting in Seattle with further panel discussions and developing a Big Data session. EIPT also participated in another panel, hosted by the Fourth Symposium on Weather, Water and Climate Enterprise. The topic of this panel was “Making Climate Information Available to Decision Makers: Challenges, Risks and Uncertainty”. Scott Jacobs moderated the panel, which included Mari Tye, NCAR, Christopher Little, AER and Marjorie McGuirk, CASE Consultants International. Several student prizes were awarded during the meeting. Prizes were given for oral and poster presentations. The prizes were awarded to Katie Bowden (University of Oklahoma, 1st), William Blumberg (University of Oklahoma, 2nd) and Tomer Burg (University of Oklahoma, 3rd). The winners of the student poster competition are as follows – Alexander Jacques, (University of Utah, 1st), Chris Bosma (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2nd) and John Lake (University of Oklahoma, 3rd).
