ESIP Lab Update: July 2018

2018 ESIP Lab Incubator Project Announcement

We are happy to announce the spring 2018 funded ESIP Lab projects:

• A deep-learning driven improved ensemble approach for hurricane forecasting 
• Operational data provenance and cybersecurity for anticipatory disaster communication built on mesh networks
• Geoweaver: a web-based prototype system for managing compound geospatial
  workflows of large-scale distributed deep networks
• SensorDat: Real-time sensor testbed for improved provenance and data
  quality
• ESIPhub: Developing and promoting an ESIP community resource for sharing and running scientific workflows via JupyterHub
• Building an operational network to validate novel inland water swath altimetry
• Enabling the encoding and visualization of provenance metadata for better discovery
  and understanding of climate resilience strategies for agriculture-related decision-making

If you are interested in any of these projects, want to collaborate, or find out more, please contact us at Lab@esipfed.org and we'll make the connection! You can follow each project's development on our Github page: github.com/ESIPFed/

Funded Project Highlight: ESIPhub

ESIPhub is a web-based shared computational environment for use during ESIP meetings and workshops. It is based on Jupyter Project technologies and facilitates sharing and collaboration among ESIP community members.

ESIPhub will be introduced in beta at the 2018 ESIP Summer Meeting, with the goal of making 2019 the year of the easy workshop. Try it out for yourself at: https://esiphub.ndslabs.org

Challenge Highlight: American-Made Solar Prize

The American-Made Solar Prize is a $3 million prize competition designed to accelerate and sustain American solar innovation through a series of contests and the development of a diverse and powerful support network that leverages national laboratories, energy incubators, and other resources.
