This weekend we lost a great friend and contributor to the Earth science and broader data community. Thank you Peter for everything you did for me and for us. You will be missed.
This weekend we learned that Peter Fox (@taswegian) passed away. Peter was a champion of and mentor to many of us and made significant contributions to #ESIPFed, #AGUESSI, #EGUESSI and #TWCRPI more. We are better for knowing him & mourn his loss ❤️ esipfed.org/news/remembering…
