The Earth, Space and Environmental science (ESES) community is focused on improving data and software management and sharing practices that result in our researchers having access to community informatics resources that support their research. This Community of Practice (CoP) will provide a place for individuals, teams and organisations in the Earth, space, and environmental research ecosystem to coordinate on common challenges, share information, review and consider RDA Recommendations, seek leading practices, and work towards finding approaches to discipline-specific challenges and issues around data and software management and sharing. The international Earth, space, and environmental community is broad and includes researchers, data managers, data curators, institutions, instrument creators and manufacturers, software developers, tools, repositories, journal editors and more.

A CoP is where those with common interests can collaborate on complex challenges that need multiple stakeholders to work through the layers of a solution. It is a place where projects can be highlighted and shared for the benefit of building collaboration and connection.

Research disciplines invited to participate include, but are not limited to:

Earth Science: geophysics, geobiology, geochemistry, hydrogeology, limnology, mineral physics, mineralogy, paleontology, petrology, rock and mineral magnetism, seismology, and structural geology and tectonics

Ocean Science: marine geology, marine chemistry, physical oceanography, and biological oceanography.

Environmental Science: biology, ecology, chemistry, toxicology, geology, soil sciences including pedology, hydrology, meteorology, geography, engineering, statistics, behavioral science, policy analysis, economics, and law.

Biodiversity Science: molecular biology, phonomics, taxonomy, genetics, traditional ecological knowledge, economy and ecology.

Space Science: planets, stars, galaxies, and other phenomena in the universe, including fields like astrophysics, planetary science, cosmology, astrobiology, and space physics, often utilizing data collected from satellites, probes, and telescopes to understand the origins, evolution, and structure of the cosmos

Xinformatics and Data Science: xinformatics (representing all or any of: bioinformatics, ecoinformatics, environmental informatics, geoinformatics, etc.), geographic information (spatial) sciences, data curators, data managers, ontologists, modelers, software developers, standards developers.
