ESIP Lab Funded Projects at SGCI Bootcamp
Eleven earth-science focused projects recently participated in an ESIP-supported Science Gateways Community Institute Bootcamp held at NCAR in Boulder, CO. Of that group, three were ESIP Lab-funded projects included GeoWeaver (PI: Ziheng Sun), ESIPhub (PI: Keith Maull), and Water Mesh (PI: Christina Bandaragoda).
Throughout the week, teams engaged in hands-on activities to help articulate the value of their work to key stakeholders and to create a strong development, operations, and sustainability plan, including:
- Core business strategy skills
- Message refinement skills
- Long-term sustainability strategies
By the end of the Bootcamp, teams had developed a value proposition, a working hypothesis of their sustainability strategy and identified the key action steps to get there!
It was a fantastic experience for all. Learn more about how your project could participate in the next SGCI Bootcamp here.

Real-time sensors are increasingly being used for scientific analysis and discovery in earth science research. The Internet of Things (IoT) concept describes an environment in which small, inexpensive sensors become ubiquitous and stream their data to the Internet in real-time. However, sensors used for scientific research purposes require additional sophistication due to issues surrounding standards and metadata requirements, spatial and temporal coverage, data quality considerations, measurement specifications, and geolocation information. To address the IoT, an NSF-funded project called “Cloud-Hosted Real-time Data Services for the Geosciences” (CHORDS, see chordsrt.com) was proposed and funded in 2016 to explore the use of real-time data in a scientific context.
