On April 17, 2025, Jongmin attended the Workshop: Launching Sandpiper — How to Better Collaborate and Exchange Data Across Geomorphology (link) held at the St. Anthony Falls Laboratory in Minnesota. This workshop was designed to establish guidelines for effectively sharing geospatial data, particularly raster DEMs, among geomorphologists, including those focused on modeling, observation, and experimentation.
I often feel the need to identify metadata for the DEMs I use, such as creation date, georeferencing information, and sensor details. However, organizing these needs for collaborative research had not been my concern. This community, however, has taken a real step toward addressing this issue, and I found it very interesting.
