13 July 2016: "The NOAA OneStop Data Discovery and Access Framework Project": Ken Casey, NOAA/NCEI

Summary: The OneStop Project is designed to improve NOAA's data discovery and access framework. Focusing on all layers of the framework and not just the user interface, OneStop is addressing data format and metadata best practices, ensuring more data are available through modern web services, working to improve the relevance of dataset searches, and improving both collection-level metadata management and granule level metadata systems to accommodate the wide variety and vast scale of NOAA's data.

Speaker: Ken Casey is the Deputy Director of the Data Stewardship Division in the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). He leads the OneStop project, is active within NOAA's Big Earth Data Initiative and Big Data Project. Ken serves on a variety of national and international science and data management panels including the US Group on Earth Observations Data Management Working Group and the Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) Science Team. He co-chairs the Committee on Earth Observing Satellites SST Virtual Constellation and represents NCEI in the Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP). He holds a PhD in Physical Oceanography from the University of Rhode Island.

9 June 2016: "Dive into Docker": Kyle Wilcox, Dave Foster and Shane StClair: Axiom Data Science

Summary: Docker is an open platform for distributed applications that has taken the world by storm, making it easy to deploy services with complicated dependencies. In this presentation you will learn what Docker is, why it will make your life easier, how to build a container, and how to install containers.

Speaker: Kyle Wilcox, Dave Foster and Shane StClair are developers at Axiom Data Science. Axiom Data Science works with organizations to improve the long term management, reuse and impact of their scientific data resources. They have built Docker containers for many of the key services used by the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (US-IOOS).

12 May 2016: "Leaflet Time Dimension": Biel Frontera, SOCIB

Summary: Leaflet.TimeDimension is a free, open-source Leaflet.js plugin that enables visualization of spatial data with a temporal dimension. It can manage different types of layers (WMS, GeoJSON, Overlay) and it can be easily extended. It meet some common needs, enabling web maps using observational and forecasting layers generated by a THREDDS server (via ncWMS), animating trajectories of drifters, gliders, follow a simulated oil spill, and other time dependent mapping applications.

Speaker: Biel Frontera was trained as a mathematician, and has spent most of his career developing software. He is a free software enthusiast and has worked for the last 3 years on data visualization and geospatial software issues for SOCIB, the Baleric Islands Coastal Observing and Forecasting System.

13 Oct 2015: Raj Pandya on AGU's Thriving Earth Exchange and Sharing Solutions

The Thriving Earth Exchange is a network and platform that connects community leaders, sponsors, and scientists and helps them combine science and local knowledge to solve on-the-ground challenges related to natural hazards, natural resources, and climate change. I’ll talk about the general principles on which we are building TEX and describe the basic modules that are part of the TEX. Drawing on the lessons learned from our pilots, I'll talk about how we are developing modules and launching new projects with several partners. I’ll describe a range of projects – from a community monitoring effort in Denver to a Pamiri Mountain project to integrate climate projections into traditional calendars. I’ll introduce our nascent “share” module, and describe our partnership with Amazon Web Services to move prototype community-based solutions to the cloud to enhance their adaptability. And, just to live up to the name, I’ll frame it all around a small rant about the loading-dock model of science and a rave about more participatory approaches.

13 Aug 2015: Rich Signell on Catalog-driven Workflows for Science

"Catalog-driven, reproducible workflows for ocean science: Comparing sea level forecasts along the US Coastline"

Rich Signell

Filipe Fernandes

The USGS Integrated Ocean Observing System (US-IOOS) requires that data providers use standard web services (OPeNDAP+CF, OGC WMS, OGC SOS) for distributing model products and insitu observations. The services are captured in ISO metadata records and searchable via standard catalog services (OGC CSW).

This presentation will demonstrate how to use this system in a reproducible Jupyter Notebook, discovering, accessing and using model and observed water levels along the US Coastline, using a free python environment that can be installed on Mac, Windows and Linux in less than 10 minutes.
