We are a home for Earth science data and computing professionals. Our sessions bring together the community for hands-on, interdisciplinary deep dives as we explore "Innovation to Impact" this year. Learn more about ESIP: esipfed.org
The Open Science Data Federation (OSDF, https://osg-htc.org/services/osdf) is an NSF-funded infrastructure which connects disparate datasets into a single, nation-wide data distribution network that can democratize and deliver data to a wide range of computational environments. This session is aimed at two different groups of participants - 1) Open Data providers who might be interested in learning how to leverage the capabilities of OSDF to provide distributed access to their geoscience datasets and 2) Researchers who are interested in using these datasets. Through lightning talks, demonstrations, and open discussion, we will showcase OSDF-enabled workflows, provide practical guidance on how to contribute to or leverage the OSDF ecosystem, and run a short demonstration of using NCAR’s data through the NSF’s OSPool (https://osg-htc.org/ospool) resource. Value to Session Participants: Open data providers will learn how OSDF can help increase the visibility and impact of their datasets while minimizing redundant data transfers and cloud ingress/egress costs. Scientists will gain insights into accessing curated datasets more efficiently, with delivery optimized for their preferred computational platforms. Both groups will benefit from shared workflows, best practices, and opportunities to shape future infrastructure development.
Recommended Ways to Prepare for this Session: None.
