Bring your laptop to this hands-on workshop! Participants will learn about the open-source scientific python ecosystem for analytic workflows with big data in Earth Science. Pangeo is first and foremost a community promoting open, reproducible, and scalable science (read more at https://pangeo.io). This community provides documentation, develops and maintains software, and deploys computing infrastructure to make scientific research and programming easier. The Pangeo software ecosystem involves open source tools such as xarray, iris, dask, jupyter, and many other packages. In brief workshop, participants will familiarize themselves with writing code in Jupyter Notebooks that can be run on scalable computing clusters running on the Cloud, bypassing a common bottleneck of downloading ever-increasing volumes of remote sensing or modeling data. We will introduce key Python tools and have participants write simple code to work with large public datasets hosted on Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud.
