GEO-OPEN-HACK-2024#

Big Geospatial Data Hackathon with Open Infrastructure and Tools

GEO-OPEN-HACK-2024 is a comprehensive and informative event designed for advanced geo-coders to explore various open tools and approaches for upscaling geospatial analysis on open High-Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure.

The event is organised by the International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in collaboration with Spatial Ecology.

Overview#

This Pangeo tutorial is part of GEO-OPEN-HACK-2024 and will provide a comprehensive introduction along with hands-on examples to help you understand how these technologies can be used for Earth science data analysis and interpretation.

In this tutorial, participants will learn how to 1) navigate the Pangeo ecosystem for scalable Earth Science workflows on Pangeo@EOSC, and 2) exploit Earth Observation (EO) data.

Tip

Pangeo-EOSC has benefited from services and resources provided by the EGI-ACE project (funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement no. 101017567), and the C-SCALE project (funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement no. 101017529), with the dedicated support of CESNET.

Tutorial Learning Objectives#

By the end of this tutorial, learners will be able to:

  • Learn about the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC)

  • Understand the Pangeo ecosystem and Pangeo@EOSC;

  • Learn to access, load, and analyse data using Xarray, visualising data with Hvplot, and scaling workflows with Dask;

Prerequisites#

Before starting this tutorial, learners should have:

  • Good knowledge of Python or another programming language;

  • Good knowledge of geospatial data structures;

Set up#

If you are participating in this training as part of the GEO-OPEN-HACK-2024, you will need to register yourself to Pangeo@EOSC. The set up instructions are given at getting started with Pangeo@EOSC.
