Title: A descriptive, human readable title.

e.g. 'Student Handout for Sauerkraut Assignment'

Select the file: Make sure it has an appropriate suffix (e.g. .doc) or specify the type in the Optional Fields below

Description: A very brief description of the file.

File Type:


The system will attempt to determine the correct file type based on the name of the file you've selected. Choosing the correct file type here will override that.

File Name:

e.g. 'student_handout'
This will be the name of the downloaded file. By default the system will generate this based on the title you specified and the type of file. If you specify a name here it will over-ride the automatically generated name. This is generally only useful when uploading file of a type not recognized by the system (not in the list of file types above). In that situation choose File Type: Unknown Binary and include the appropriate suffix in the file name here. e.g. myfile.m3z Avoid spaces or special characters in the file names.

Authorship/Reuse

Either:
I am the author (copyright holder) of the contents of this file and people are allowed to reuse it for non-commercial purposes as long as they give me attribution as described by this creative commons license.
Or
Who is the original creator/copyright holder of the information in this file?

Provenance/Acknowledgements

A short description of where the material came from. Include names and institutions of authors and contributors as well as acknowledgment of any work from which this was derived.

Reuse License

The creator/copyright holder must have agreed to allow distribution of this file through this site.
If you are the creator we strongly encourage you to select the CC Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike option.

If none of the above licenses apply describe the conditions under which this material appears on this site as well as any information about reuse beyond this site.

Distributing information on the web generally requires the permission of the copyright holder--usually the original creator. Providing the information we request here will help visitors to this site understand the ways in which they may (legally) use what they find.

If you created this file (and haven't signed away your copyright) then we'd encourage you to select the CC Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike option. You'll retain the copyright to your file and can do as you please with it in the future. Through this choice you are also explicitly allowing others to reuse that file as long as they give you attribution, and don't use it for commercial purposes.

If the file (or content within it) was created by others you'll need their permission. If it predates 1923 or was created by a U.S federal employee (as part of their job) it is likely in the public domain (and we can all do as we choose with it). The original author may also have explicitly stated how it may be reused (e.g. through a creative commons license). You can describe the licensing/reuse situation in the box above.

Without permission you should not upload the file. There are several options in this case:

  • You can contact the original author to get permission.
  • You can provide a link to (or a description of how to get) the original material rather than uploading it here.
  • You can find a substitute that isn't encumbered by copyright.
  • You can create a substitute yourself. Remember, ideas can't be copyrighted, only particular expressions of those ideas. Of course you'll want to give credit the original author.

The Stanford Copyright and Fair Use Center has more good information about copyright as it applies to academic settings.

Citizen Science Workshop

Overview

The Citizen Scientist's Guide Workshop will bring together scientists, educators, and data providers to generate a guide to Earth science observations. The guide is intended to help citizens make meaningful observations about the environment and relate those observations to satellite data.

Logistics

The workshop will be held August 12 and 13, 2008, at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Please bring a photo id, your visitor responsibility form, and sign in at the main gate.

Directions to the Goddard Visitor's center are at:
http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/visitor/directions/index.html
To get to the main gate, you will turn left on Goddard Road and park in the lot on your right. There is a light on Goddard Road, and you'll see the center on the left. If you get to IceSat Road (the road these directions tell you to turn on), you've gone too far.

After you sign in, go back out to Greenbelt Road. Turn left and then turn left at IceSat Road. It's the next light. Show your visitor's pass and photo id to go through the gate, then turn right at the light. Turn right at the second stop sign and follow the road into the Building 33 parking lot. Facing the building, you'll want to go in the far left door. The conference room we'll be meeting in, H114, is just inside the door on the left side of the hall.
