Data Help Desk at 2021 GSA Annual Meeting
October 11th-13th, 2021 ONLINE
The Virtual Data Help Desk being held in conjunction with GSA 2021 Connects is a program of EarthCube, the GSA Geoinformatics & Data Science Division, and ESIP, and will connect researchers with data and software experts to enhance research and make data and software more open and FAIR.

Notebooks
A novel element of the 2020 and 2021 EarthCube Annual Meetings was a call for notebooks, which led to over 30 peer-reviewed Jupyter notebooks that encompass an array of geoscience data tools, software, services, and libraries. Each notebook was reviewed by scholars within the geoscience and cyberinfrastructure community. Recent contributions can be accessed below.
- Interactive Jupyter notebook for hydrographic ocean data exploration, retrieval and visualization via the Argovis API
- Interactive visualization tools for ocean glider data
- Programmatic Access to OpenTopography’s Cloud Optimized Geotiff (COG) Global Datasets
- xclim: Software ecosystem for climate services
- Reanalysis of archived paleointensity data using a new statistical method
- Machine Learning Guided Weather Analogs.
- itslive-explorer: interactive exploration of glacier velocities at a global scale
- Frequency-domain analysis of large datasets
