2024 Ghub Tool Development Workshop


Monday April 8th – Wednesday April 10th 2024

Workshop summary

The ice sheet community has made great strides in predicting future ice sheet change, however urgency in reducing uncertainties of near-term sea level rise relies heavily on collaboration and sharing research and research enabling tools/data effectively. Ghub enables collaboration between ice sheet scientific communities and serves as a central repository and directory for the growing number of open-source tools in the cryospheric sciences.

This workshop is aimed at researchers and students who currently have a workflow, script, or utility written in the Python or R programming language that they would like to share with the cryospheric communities.  

Examples:

  • Code or workflows from a paper you would like to share in an interactive, executable way
  • Share a utility for others to use so they don’t need to download the source code
  • Access high-performance computing to share models or other computationally expensive workflow

We will teach you:

  • The ways you can share your science on Ghub
  • How to develop user interfaces using Jupyter Notebooks
  • How to access our HPC resources for complex computational tools

Travel and logistics

Please see the logistics page for the most up-to-date information

Ghub will cover expenses for 10 workshop participants to travel to/from Buffalo, housing, and meals, with a preference for early career researchers (student or <5 years from Ph.D.).

The workshop will take place in Buffalo, NY at the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site (641 Delaware Ave, Buffalo, NY 14202). The nearest airport is Buffalo Niagara International Airport.

Hotel Address: Residence Inn by Marriott Buffalo Downtown, 620 Delaware Ave, Buffalo, NY 14202

Check in: Sunday, April 7th

Check out: Wednesday April 10th

If you are planning on attending the workshop on Wednesday morning, please bring your bags to the Site. We will have space to store bags.

Buffalo has Lyft, Uber, and Taxis for getting to/from the airport. The hotel is directly across from the location of the workshop. Our group dinner location is ~1 mile walk from the hotel, but Buffalo participants have offered to drive out-of-town guests if needed.
 

Solar Eclipse 2024

At 3:18 pm on Monday, April 8th, Buffalo is right on the centerline of totality for the 2024 Solar Eclipse! Come to Buffalo to see the eclipse and share your science!
