Open geospatial data across academic, commercial, and government providers has an omnipresent impact on human security and crisis response operations. The open science needed to build this data, to include the challenges with translation of research to operational capabilities, often receives much less attention. This panel will discuss recent human security research projects that culminated in open data releases, and the challenges faced and overcome in the process of rapidly supporting domestic and international crisis situations. The panel comprises of the following participants:

• Moderator: Dr. Carter Christopher | ORNL
