Goddard Showcase – Earth Information System Infrastructure. Leveraging Infrastructure as code to do science in the cloud.
From deploying “The Littlest JupyterHub” to automating the deployment of multiple Kubernetes powered Daskhub infrastructure; we would like to share a story about how using AWS Cloud (AKA an API) can not only make solutions deployment faster, repeatable and more secure but also more fun. The Earth Information System was a 6-month Science Pilot therefore…
Goddard Showcase – Hackathoning Air Quality (AQ) in Cheverly, MD
While large cities have been trying to assess, predict and forecast air quality, smaller towns are also subject to many of the same problems without the funding to find and use existing resources. Recently, the ESIP Air Quality Cluster held a hackathon to identify and correlate resources for the City of Los Angeles and the…
Discovery and Control of 2D Magnets – Relevant to NASA?
Magnetism, one of the most fundamental physical properties, has revolutionized significant technologies such as data storage and biomedical imaging, and continues to bring forth new phenomena in emergent materials at reduced dimensions. The recently discovered magnetic 2D van der Waals materials provide ideal platforms to enable the atomic-thin, flexible, lightweight magneto-optical and magnetoelectric devices. Though…
Exploranation – from the inside of mummies to planets, stars and galaxies
This talk will take its starting point in the on-going convergence of exploratory and explanatory visualization paradigms into “Exploranation”. Based on the general availability of processing power, access to data and ever improving visualization methods, explanatory visualization can be data driven and fully interactive. This leads to a paradigm shift in visual learning and communication,…
