CIESIN director Alex de Sherbinin was invited to present at a number of panels during NYC climate week. On Monday, 22 October he participated in a event organized by The Impact Project on Environmental Data at Risk: from Archive to Action, where he spoke of CIESIN's work on open data and the recent data rescue of the SEDAC archive. He was joined by Jonathan Gilmour of The Impact Project, who in his prior position at Harvard School of Public Health worked closely with CIESIN to archive the data at the Harvard Dataverse CAFE collection, as well as Sheila Foster of the Climate School. On Thursday 25 October, he joined an invitation only workshop by the New York Climate Exchange to discuss data archiving, and then joined a panel organized by LunateAI on Bridging the Gap between Earth Observation (EO) and Risk Analytics, where he spoke on the vital importance of locally collected socioeconomic data from censuses and surveys for properly interpreting EO data. Finally, he wrapped up the day with a keynote address on Strengthening Climate Mobility Knowledge and Data at the Global Centre for Climate Mobility's Climate Mobility Summit.
