Nadine spent her career applying open mapping/geospatial standards in multiple domains including aviation, earth observations, public safety, and defense. Prior to OGC, her industry roles included Chief of Innovation at Northrop Grumman, CEO of Aviation data management startup, and senior advisor to NASA Applied Sciences. Nadine is an appointed member of the U.S. National Geospatial Advisory Committee (NGAC) and the UN Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM) Private Sector Network. She has a Ph.D. and 2 M.S. degrees from MIT all revolving around advancements in interoperability of Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

On the agenda

  1. Open and Collaborative Science

    Sep. 29, 10:00am Panel The Central Hub

    NASA has designated 2023 as the Year of Open Science. The shift to shared cloud data and services creates new opportunities for open, collaborative, and replicable science; accellerating the transition from research to application; and increasing transparency and confidence in science-based understanding.

    But a long path remains between the pricipals behind open science and FAIR (findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability) data and the actualization of this vision. The panelists will explore where we are on this journey and the path ahead.
